Agree. In fact there were more than a few of these so called literary pieces we were forced to read with nothing good in them but that sort of thing. Creepy.

Being forced to read that kind of junk in a very exclusive private Catholic high school is among the reasons my wife and I decided to homeschool our kids -- and give them things to read where the characters are worthy of admiration, and emulation. Like this...
