The reason I think I didn't really like it?
Because I had to read it my senior year, and I'm pretty sure that my teacher wanted the whole class to like it. Not hoped we liked it, WANTED us to like it, and if we didn't he probably would have thought that everything he taught us didn't stick.
I get it, it's one of the greatest stories of the century, or whatever they're calling it.

I understand the message it was giving completely.
But really? It kind of bothered me. ...more
