Shut the fuck up and read the damn story like you were told. You can still learn something from the absolute worst writing.

It's fine not to like his books for the romanticized teenage bullshit, but he's a smart guy and he's the kind of writer that you can analyze.

John Green originally studied to be a youth pastor. I'm almost glad he became an author instead.

john green honestly seems appropriate for middle school classes. its more focused on concepts and writing techniques during that time so you dont need some groundbreaking text to analyze

You're in fucking middle school. Go analyze literature on your own time and jump through simple hoops as ordered in class. Your poor fucking teacher has a class full of kids who mostly can't or won't read anything, and the few who can will only read shit by John Green or four other names they recognize. He can assign something good nobody but you will read, fail his whole class, and watch the PTA murder his ass, or he can try this shit. Teachers need to eat too.
