I don't know if it came out wrong in my last message but, I like my
Contemporary Lit. class and what we read. The teacher I have, however,
seems discredit and devalue a lot of the ideas I bring up in her class
because I like Salinger yet not all of Vonnegut. She herself liked Salinger
as a teenager and even bragged about owning a first edition "Catcher", but
when I criticized Vonnegut, she didn't seem too pleased and an almost like
"how could you?" look came over her face. The class, as a whole, is great.
Also in my Lit. class I think I've found a true "section man". He's a real
piece of work.
