the strangest things I've been asked by students in my English class this quarter:

"You've read a lot of books, right?"

"Did Cinderella become a princess or a queen?"

"Were men and women in nineteenth-century Norway expected to be married by a certain age?"

"What is the big deal about Shakespeare?"


And, the winner of the Non-Sequitur Award for Excellence in Irrelevancy:

"How exactly do you compose music?"
