Boy oh boy ... this is absolutely *no* slight against you, Susan, but they
sure make you do some pretty useless things. This thing reminds me of the
movie `Dead Poets Society' where the students are made to judge the Overall
Greatness of a poem by plotting it on a graph. To me, this has very little
to do with the passionate experience of reading a great piece of
literature.
Good luck with your assignment, anyway! No accounting for certain aspects
of the education system.
