NOTE: The script” of this Oak was written for you, by you. As a one day project, mem- bers of several English classes analyzed their courses. From these assorted reviews, the book's producers, the editorial staff, chose the best ones to represent each department of study. English English is ... Finding out how many people confuse Adam and Noah . A pain in the neck because all we do is talk about the future . Analyzing a good book until you don't like it anymore .. . Hating grammar and finding out that your teacher loves it ... Finding out that your adjective is really an adverb and that your subject is really a predicate .. . Memorizing your 'Friends, Romans, Countrymen' speech and then finding out that it isn't your part ... Learning 'practical' words that you'll never hear or use again . ... Finding out that the teacher isn't going to collect the only assignment that you did all year . . . Learning how to spell your graffiti correctly ... A language that confuses all Americans. ••Won't you come into my gynarchy? asks the Queen, Patricia Turner.
