      Stupid Lit Classe

      Before we hit about the 18th and 19th century Russian lit, I was cruising! Now, however, it starts to get into interpretation of the author and character development and plot development. Yah, I suck at that. For example, I had to write a response paper on The Brigadier and I thought that the characters were reasonably developed in that play. Then I get to class and find out that once again my lack of literary interpretation rears its ugly head. I expect a B on the paper. Maybe she'll be nice since I put in some stuff that might have made me look kinda smart.

      Anyone else struggle in lit classes? If so, any advice.... and what the heck is character development? *runs away* (I'll stick with language and syntax any day!)

      I think character development is the changes a character goes trough as the story goes on..like how his/her prsonality or attitude towards certain things or persons change or how he/she obtains greater understanding of certain situations etc or greater insight in problems..stuff like that =P or maybe thats wrong..i forget XP

      Tip: try think up very far fetched,deep vague thoughts on the story to confuse the teacher =P it has to make some sense of course..but vague enough for it to be inpossibly wrong it might work in the wrong way though =P it depends what level you are at..highschool..university =P uni teachers are usually more into the far fetched stuff, I ha some literary courses(still do actually lol) and alot of the times crap is far fetched..but sometimes its not, then its like, very obvious =P and then you apear like a fool when you get all deep..
