Today in my Romanticism class our teacher was talking about the era and about the authors who were for/against revolution in general. This conversation happened:

Prof: One thing to remember is that America was under constant threat from other nations. Not just England. Canada was -

My table: *bursts out laughing*

Prof: Well they were French at the time!

A couple of weeks ago...

Prof: Language is inherent in everything. No one would buy rap if some white guy with a Boston accent was singing it.

Classmate: That depends on how many crimes he commits!

Prof: True...okay, so he's an anonymous guy who talks like JFK. No one would buy that record because it doesn't reach the desired audience.

Me: Well, no, if he's a Kennedy it would still work.

I know it probably sounds like this class is dumb, but it's just fun and we get on weird tangents.

Hope that had a good laugh for you. Giggle a little and keep up hope!
