Mmm, essay questions.

2. Does the content and form of Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code adequately account for its popularity?
No.

Full marks please. This is clearly the correct answer.

Lecturer: We can compare David Lurie to the poet W.B. Yeats. What do we know about Yeats that we can compare with Lurie?
Damien: Well there's the Maud Gonne thing. Lurie sort of imposed himself repeatedly on Melanie and Soraya. He was kind of old for it.
Lecturer: Yes, and we also know that he got monkey testicles implanted at age sixty nine in an attempt to rejuvenate that part of his life. He said it was like a second puberty.
Damien: ...
Lecturer: ... Okay, so we'll move away from Yeats now...
Stuart: Wow, Yeats was awesome!!!
Class: *snigger*

Also as a note to self, 'and then some' is probably not an appropriate term to end a sentence with when addressing your lecturer about the moral message of any novel.

Testing, 1, 2...

Blogspot is completely different to livejournal. This is going to take some getting used to and I'm still trying to work out some bits. But since this is my first entry, I should probably write something about my day. I can't promise witticisms. I'm getting old.
Most pressingly today, I'd like to know why my lit. tutor likes to ask me things specifically during tutorials. He doesn't seem to do this to anybody else. One or two people state their opinions on the matter, there's a pause... then inevitably... "Nicola? What do you think?" I find it annoying. I was planning on sleeping in that tutorial. I'm starting to wonder if he knows anyone else's name.

Yesssss.

So, how do you drive this thing? What are all the cool kids doing on their blogs? Edumacate me.
