The Biggest Misconception In Public Schools Is That Literary Analysis Is About Proving You Can Be Right

The biggest misconception in public schools is that literary analysis is about proving you can be right or wrong about a book you read

Literary analysis isn’t about the book

It’s not even about being right

It’s about performing an investigation and presenting your case to the jury

It doesn’t matter if your defendant killed that guy or not. If you can convince the jury he didn’t, you’ve won

And the incredible life skill of spinning bulletproof bullshit out your ass with a handful of facts and a prayer is soooooooo much more valuable than anyone’s ever gonna tell you

With all the power in the world, it only took a week before the minimal joys were sucked dry from the marrow of life.

Why worry about anything when they can be fixed within the snap of a finger? Financial burdens? Gone. Hunger? Gone. Eagerness to travel? Also gone.

There was simply no need to have any wishes or aspirations. They had been long dealt with within minutes.

Worst of all was the effect it placed upon your surrounding peers. You could see a sense of greed growing in their eyes as they asked you for more and more favors. It formed a rather nasty codependent relationship.

So with no more prospects or people, you also decided to live on the outskirts, trying hard to gain back any sense of purpose before the powers were gifted to you. The man disappeared before you even had the chance to tell that you understand it, and to please take back this curse. But it is now yours to bear. You may as well live with it.

You finally meet the man with all the power in the world, but to your surprise he is living the quiet life, not using his powers. You ask why and he just gives you, his powers. You understand why now.

Honestly I think one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself is to separate your negative qualities from your identity.

Instead of saying “I’m lazy,” saying “I’ve made a habit of not doing work unless it’s absolutely necessary.” Instead of saying “I’m a bad friend,” saying “I haven’t communicated as much as I should with the people I care about.”

By being specific about your problems, and by framing it as an action that you are consciously either working on or ignoring rather than an unchangeable part of who you are, you allow yourself to accept your mistakes and work constructively on them instead of pretending they didn’t happen or wallowing in blaming yourself.

I’m considering putting out a trilogy on here born from an idea I put in a journal forever ago covering some gothic tales about witches and their familiars. I still need to finish the stories but expect them to come up soon.

It’s very much a WIP cuz I don’t even have a title yet 😂

Time to do some more witch research and gothic tales research!
