I'll get back to John Green tomorrow, but today I need to talk about something that absolutely infuriates me. Essays. I am currently writing one for school and it is killing me. Even though I try to be creative and put my own spin on it, it is almost impossible to write an entertaining, fun essay that not only shows how much you've learned, but also your voice and writing style.
Essays are terrible creatures sent from Hell to destroy our creativity until we are all mindless typing drones, click-clacking day and night at meaningless questions.
No I'm not being melodramatic!
Everyone who is in the field of education: GET A CLUE! Essays do not help ANYTHING! Teachers assign essays for a few reasons, but their reasons are NOT legitimate!!!!!
First of all, to find out someone's writing style, maybe you should let them BE CREATIVE! Write poetry, or prose, or ANYTHING BUT AN ESSAY! I know when I write essays, I don't actually need to know the subject. All you do is paraphrase and regurgitate the information. It doesn't show knowledge.
ESSAYS ARE STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!
