What I despised about my English classes was that the teacher had a certain set of answers to the comprehension and analysis questions that everyone had to come up with. They never allowed for divergent analyses of the books we were "forced" to read. I say forced, because the curriculum only had certain books we were allowed to study...none of this pick a book that you would want to read & analyze! And this was an American school...in Oklahoma! ACK! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]
Oh, I read The Hobbit when I was 7, and LOTR when I was eight or nine.
