Instead of studying for the Spanish and Chemistry tests that I have tomorrow, I decided to start and finish A Streetcar Named Desire. Tonight was the first night's reading (we'll be doing it for the next week or so in English class), and it was incredibly catchy, gripping, (insert adjective synonymous with 'compelling')...
But my God, it was so depressing!
We haven't read a book this year that didn't have someone being physically or mentally (or both...) raped and end dismally, only to be told that the true meaning is hope...
I pity the world if this hope makes you want to go drown yourself in the toilet...
