As human beings, we are naturally curious, it's that easy. When we see something that we find interesting, we want to look at it more, feel it, smell it, listen to it, whatever. But for me, a mere 15 year old boy, it sometimes seems to go to far. I today found myself sitting up the back of a classroom, listening to something about what the climax was in a very well written, yet extremely boring short story. The fact was, that the climax was the climax was the climax. You can't change things like that. If you talk about an apple, it stays an apple. And no matter how much you continue to talk about the apple, why it's like it is and how it came to be like that, it'll still be an apple. It's physics 101. So, next time you find yourself asked why the author made the character have brown hair, just say 'because'. The author did that because they could, not because it creates a sense of pathos. Maybe english lessons shoul be spent looking at the obvious things, the things which we were meant to see, not want to see.
And i'm not critisising english teachers, i'm just making a suggestion.
