I recently did my term paper for English--a 10 pager on "The Wizard of Oz." Whew. I wrote the entire thing the night before it was due, and it took me 7 hours.
By the end, I was tweakin' on Mountain Dew, typing away mindlessly, no longer aware of what I was writing... Lots of BS in there, I'm sure.
How's this, for example?:
" It is possible that, since Baum's mother-in-law was an active leader in the women's suffrage movement, that he chose to exploit Dorothy as an advocate for the downtrodden housewife through her remarkable liberation from domestic drudgery."
Uhhh...
My favorite line is this one, though:
" Though the task of killing the Wicked Witch of the West seems a prodigious one ("No one has ever destroyed her before," one character remarks), the unlikely band of heroes bravely ventures forth to meet the challenge. "
I swear my teacher's gonna toss that one in the trash.
