Madame Bovary and any other tragedy.
BUT I realized two years ago that one purpose of reading and studying a book I so vehemently disagree with and hate is so that I can solidify my understanding of who I want to be and who I don't want to be.
Once to help my 6th graders understand the consequences of their actions, I told them the story of Hamlet. They HATED it. And that was the point.
One student in an act of petty revenge against another student who had done the right thing, cut the other student's hair in class. This was after creating a group of students who would fight to the death using words for the hair cutter.
To fix this, I told them the story of Hamlet. I drew out the characters on the board to help keep them organized and in the middle of the story, before anyone had died (excepting Hamlet's father) I asked who they thought was right and why.
Then I told them the ending of each character. Did it matter who was right in the end?
No. It mattered that they heard the story. It mattered that it had a terrible end. It mattered that they hated it.
tl;dr stories we were forced to read and hated teach us more about ourselves than books we chose to read
what books were you assigned to read in a class that you still hold a violent and bitter grudge against
for me it’s into the wild and the scarlet letter
We can hear them singing in the back of the trailer released for SIGNAL.
I can already feel FILM OUT is gonna be as good as don't leave me that they released for signal before
Lmao the difference in culture is really obvious while watching american dramas.
If someone knocks on the door to your house in the US, you open and ask what you can help them with
If someone knocks on your door in Sweden, you run and hide before they can see you and wait to breathe until they're gone. Not particularly because of crime rates or violence, but because we're so uncomfortable with social interaction (especially in our homes) that we'd rather people think we're not at home
