/lit/ - Literature

I remember in freshman year of college I took my first "real" literature course and it was pretty refreshing. It was the first time that I had engaged with a work of literature beyond surface level, and it honestly probably changed my life trajectory.

The sad part is that most of the other students in the class did not give a shit. This was an introductory course that most were enrolled in because the university makes our schedules for our first semester. It was like dead silent in the classroom whenever the teacher asked us discussion questions. There were people missing very basic details (picrel) and some not even reading it at all.

The teacher there (a grad student) also taught me how to argue in a paper better than any English teacher I've ever had.
