My senior high school english lit class studied Grapes of Wrath, I objected to the anti-religous and communistic themes but the teacher refused to provide an alternative book to study (there was another student in my class who also felt the same way). I just refused to read it (but I had to sit through the discussions in class on it) so my marks took a hit.

Each year in that town was an annual student essay contest in honour of a long-dead local author. Our teacher said that if we entered it he would count it for extra credit, so I entered an essay in the humour essay division that totaly roasted English lit as a pompus sham. I got enough credit to pull my mark back up, and also took 3rd place in the contest! (Mine was actually funnier than the 1st and 2nd place stories, but I made fun of the very contest I was entering too and so they wouldn't dare give it first place)

So post it already and let us judge. We can always use a good laugh
