JS asks, “If I can analyze (‘properly’) a text I haven’t even read, why go to class?”
Because, as Woody Allen put it, “80% of life is just showing up.”
A funny line, but true, even with its devastating (at least to those of us who want more) implication that human interaction is mostly a very shallow affair.
i wish woody allen were in my class. or any sort of bad, class-clown type. that’s what made k-12 bearable.
i’m pissy because when martin transferred to cornell, they were like, “oh! martin! you’re great! you don’t have to take any courses unless you want to. let us help you write your book!” completely different approach here. and i’m not that much less intelligent than martin.
