I read the story of an hour like a month ago for English
It has implanted itself into my brain
oh yeah i also had to read that. and lamb to the slaughter by roald dahl was also really good
What is it
read the story, but plot summary in spoilers
woman kills her cop husband whoâs about to leave her by whacking him in the head with a frozen leg of lamb, calls the murder in to the police, then cooks the lamb for the policemen to eat while the story literally ends with the policemen talking about how the murder weapon is probably right under their noses
Ok but whatâs the point
itâs awesome does it need a point
many of my impactful lessons were bad-impactful
one i distinctly remember is having to watch some video that (wayyy pre-covid) in a very war-of-the-worlds-radio-show way talked about some massive pandemic where people were dying left and right and the entire world was suffering and on the brink of collapse, and they tested every single personâs blood to see if anyoneâs could make a cure, and then one specific childâs blood could, so they had to kill the child to harvest the blood to save the world, and then nobody came to the childs funeral
and the moral of the story was that not going to church every sunday was like not going to that childs funeral
this was like 5th grade btw. multiple children cried that day
Fair
HUH?
My god these people suck at their Jesus metaphors
i need to find da video
it was horrible though there was a spot where the dad was like âwhat does this âpintâ section stand forâ and the doctors are like âwe didnât think itâd be a kid we didnât think itâd be a kidâ
how many of your schoolâs anti-abortion arguments amounted to âlook how cute tho â
lots of them but honestly that wasnât the bulk of it cuz thatâs not a super catholic way of arguing. itâs more so âthats a person and the 5th commandment says not to kill soâ
also this bitch had a kid like 2 years ago and named her kid âbear archerâ
Im actual people
im so so sorry bear archer
Most of the life lessons I learned in school were like, meta-lessons. Not what was being taught in class but what happened around those classes
The point is you should kill your cop husband
On a similar track, our abstinence-only education claimed that âcondoms are only 20% effectiveâ, and I remember reading that in 7th grade and immediately thinking that the figure was bunk.
