No creative title ever

Aww no class today? That's alright I'm still not feeling well so it may be good for me. Anyway what to right about? For right now I'm going to write about something that we're not reading. I'll loosely stay on topic by saying that I'm writing about other books with sympathetic villains, because when you get right down to it, Shylock is sympathetic in some ways (when you don't pay attention to the whole pound o' flesh thing).

In my free time I'm reading Special Topics in Calamity Physics byMarisha Pessl. It's a surrisingle long book and I've been working on it slowly for a month or so now. But as far as i am into the plot, there are no villains, only negative characters. These negative characters are more or less the cool clique in the private high school the protagonist has just arrived at for her senior year. These people hang out with the enigmatic film teacher Ms. Hannah Schneider. They go over to her house for dinner and discuss topics from the meaning of life to how they are doing in classes. Schneider pushes Blue (said protagonist) into this exclusive group for unknown reasons and she has to deal with being the odd one out in this narrow minded clique.

The students are all assholes to her basically. I know this sounds like teenage high school schlock but it's a very intriguing book so stick with me. So now Blue is wondering why she's forced to intrude on this closed circle and why she has to be the center of attention when she likes to imagine herself as a Jane Goodall character, observing the pointless drama of high school life. Meanwhile Schneider's motives remain a mystery, as the only people she keeps in contact with ever are these six high school seniors. Eventually we find out that each of the "Blue Bloods" as they are called has some kind of tragedy in their past which has made them the condescending asshole they are now.

This entry isn't nearly as good as I thought it would be and makes the excellent book I'm reading sound quite drab. Maybe I'll try again later.
