I am: Your English Teacher

I am different because....

I love English




But, you may say, many people love English? Where do you think writers and editors come from?

OK, smart ass. Guess what? One could argue that not all writers and editors love English. [goes into a coughing fit]StephanieMeyer[continues coughing.]

And second of all, I am still different because nobody I know loves English the way I do: I snuggle with a book instead of a teddy bear.

No, not really. Seriously, I don't. OK, quit staring at me like that!

I read, alright? I can. I do. And I like to read. But I also like to analyze what I read, to dig deeper, and really think about what this book means.

Many view this process as boring, tedious, and "I have so many better things to do like...Pick me nose, yo." However, consider The Great Gatsby. Without digging deeper, the story is just about a rich guy who likes a richer girl.

But dig a little deeper and the story becomes about obsessions, passions, stalkers, and always straining but never reaching. It's a tragedy. And yet, it's a tragedy that doesn't make you cry. 'Cause the rich bastards had it coming - or did they? That's the thing: It's a great story because you love to hate and hate to love all the characters.

See what I mean here.

Most of all:

I love English because I use proper English where ever I may write - including text messages between friends.

Tell me, who else does that?
