Thread Name: BS: What made you happy today
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today
My daughter was down for a visit and when asked how classes are going in college, expressed frustration about her English lit class. World lit, but with all of these essays in between the lit readings that don't make a lot of sense. Seems my daughter skipped the prerequisite for the class, the intro to theory (the contents of all of those confusing essays). FORTUNATELY, Mom has her master's in English lit and was able to do a crash course over the next couple of days on how to understand what the theory is trying to get at. Now how often can a mom teach a teenager something new, and have her appreciate it? :)
