material It wasn t forced on us either He took Samuel Johnson s dictionary Addison s essays and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them hilarious even at eight o clock in the morning The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own some of them seemed dead but the second time after his explanation I couldn t believe that I hadn t seen the humor The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with allusions 典故 and irony 反讽 and hilarious moments I learned more from him than from any other teacher My least favorite English teacher also made people laugh Some students found him to be funny Many others did not He assigned journals over a six week period to be written every day At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas short stories reactions to 9 what we had read and so on Our teacher announced that we would be grading each other s journals Mine was passed to Joe that class
