This little comment about being gutter-minded reminds me of most of the
english teachers I had in high school. They some how saw sex in just
about everything that we ever read. Since then I tend to sometimes generalize
english majors as being hung up on sex. I just realized now that I am
probably going to start generalizing writers as having a more than
healthy interest in sex. Hmm, whatever sells. Course I am also reading it
too. Well the header said it all.
NANI????
As an English major, I must protest! Not all English majors and teachers
are gutterheads!
Calla: The lady doth protest too much, methinks....
me: Ah, shaddup!
Although I have had teachers like that - my first year of college, I had
an English teacher who found, um, that sort of symbolism in
_everything_: Beowulf, Gilgamesh, the Trojan War, poetry, Star Wars (the
father/son duel? and lightsabers?) - ick. (shudder) He was a great
teacher, though, even if he did insist on telling us about all the
different ancient fertility rites, complete with diagrams...
