We read "A Good Man is Hard to Find" and "The Lottery." Our high school English teacher assigned a project at the end of the year in which the entire class had to work together to film a scene from each of the novels we read, and at least one short story. To film the Lottery, we dressed one of our male classmates up as a woman and stoned him with rocks made from newspaper and duct tape. I have a really difficult time taking that story seriously now, but I have very fond memories of my Junior English class, even though my life is very different from what it was in High School now.Second Year Math Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00835709125720463101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18628978.post-48465421251588989662011-05-03T16:22:16.893-07:002011-05-03T16:22:16.893-07:00OK ... the most disturbing thing about this review...OK ... the most disturbing thing about this review is that she found the stories only "a bit" disturbing... no, one doesn't read O'connor for an escape ... unless, of course, one lives in a very simple, happy place with uncomplicated people and needs to escape from that...Carolyn Culbertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03419165206590953667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18628978.post-6039391798627297752011-05-03T10:01:30.845-07:002011-05-03T10:01:30.845-07:00I love this 1 star review thing you're doing. ...I love this 1 star review thing you're doing.
