Essay writing is seldom taught below college level these days
Really? I swear, it was ALL I fucking did in English class pretty much from middle school on! Analyze boring old tomes and write scholarly essays about the Freudian importance of the color red or some such shit. I pretty much did NO creative writing in school after the age of fifteen; it was alllll essays, because that was part of our standardized tests. (This was about ten years ago, by the way.)
I swear to god, if I never have to write about the feminist significance of the voice in Lolita ever again, I will die happy.
