My English lit prof referenced "HG Wells's 'Animal Farm'" today

[jpgray]

Is this the obscure pastoral sequel to "The Island of Dr. Moreau?" :dunce:

[no name no slogan]

1. I'm afraid to ask what college you are at...

:popcorn:

[jpgray]

5. Not Macalester

I'm pretty sure a George Orwell course is part of the grad requirements. :P

[KitchenWitch]

11. Hey, Mac is a great school!

[miss_american_pie]

2. I'm weeping

:scared:

[terrya]

3. OMG...a professor. That's frightening.

A literature professor, no less.

[jpgray]

6. Conflation is the medium he works in

Today we learned, based on the notes on the board, about "Dramating Structure."

[XNASA]

4. If he mentions "EA Poe's '1984'".......

...you should get up and cock punch him. This is assuming your prof is a he.

[fishwax]

7. yeesh. everybody knows it was ORSON welles

[XNASA]

[DS1]

15. the Third

[SOteric]

8. Did you ask for a reimbursement on your tuition?

[XemaSab]

10. I would have flown over the desk a la "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"

And beaten him until he cried for his mom.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[dolo amber]

13. He probably doesn't even know woodchucks are real either

:eyes:

[brentspeak]

14. If he begins discussion of the great Tolstoy novel, "Dr. Zhivago"

You'll know it's time to transfer.

[LSK]

16. did you read Tom Clancy's The Grapes of Wrath yet?

What about Stephen Kings War and Peace? :rofl:

[DS1]

18. The Honors class gets to tackle Dean Koontz's Merchant of Venice

[Call Me Wesley]

17. Lack of basics.

You can't read HG Wells 'Animal Farm' before you haven't read JW Goethe's 'Time Machine.' In German, of course. Sheesh.

[JVS]

22. Don't forget the necessity of reading "The Sufferings of Young Walther"...

which is the riveting biography of C.F.W. (Carl Ferdinand Wilhelm) Walther, who during his college years had to leave school for several months with a nearly fatal lung disease. While convalescing he became familiar with the writings of Luther and embraced confessional Lutheranism. Ultimately this led to conflict with the state supported calvinist-lutheran-hybrid state church in Saxony and drove him into exile. The experience was so harrowing that his looks suffered going from this to this

[Call Me Wesley]

23. LOL! At least

he didn't kill himself like this one:

[JVS]

19. At least he didn't reference the classic cinematic classic "Barnyard Pals"

My lab partner from HS Chemistry acclaimed it as "a fascinating glimpse into human-animal 'relations'"

[eyesroll]

20. I must be that tired -- it took me a bit to realize what the problem was.

:dunce:

[Burma Jones]

21. That's the Book from which we got the TV Series Manimal.....

Manimal was a series about a guy that could change into any animal in order to satirize socialism. It did not get very good ratings.....
