Little Treat
Here's a little treat from one of our Ph.D. students who teaches our 102 course (that'd be "how to write about literature" in the form it takes here):
I am grading freshman papers, and, although I am working under a deadline, I could not help but forward the following quote (from an 18 year old male student's paper):
(the paper is on Hemingway's "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber")
"The resemblance of a gun to a man's masculinity is enormous. The gun's shape and form remarkably resembles that of a male's masculinity."
(my comments ask him to clarify what he means)
Yes, indeed. What could he possibly mean? (I'd love to see the rewrite.) (No, maybe not...)
