Who's ready for a rant? (classic rock)

Officially a rant book

Soooo, this a rant book now. I'm gonna start this off with a story, a classic rock related story of coarse. This is the story of how I gained respect for my teacher, mostly.

Today in English class, we were going over certain literary terms like foreshadowing, tone, allusions. You know, easy stuff. Then it came to irony. My teacher (I won't say her name, because of security things) had a power point up with definitions and examples of these terms. She said "I'm going to play a song for you guys and explain how it's ironic later." So, she clicked play. I recognized it automatically, it was Imagine. We listened to it through it's entirety (I was tapping my foot with the drums lol) and then my teacher asked "So who wrote this song?"

NO ONE RAISED THEIR HANDS! Absolutely no one did. So, I raised mine, "Thank you Rachel, now who wrote the song?" My teacher asked. "John Lennon." I said, "Cool! Somebody knows the answer. Last class thought it was John Legend." She rolled her eyes and scoffed "I couldn't believe it." I chuckled, no one else did. My smile faded as she continued, "Now, can anyone answer why this famous song about peace, and loving one another, is ironic?" Silence. I reluctantly raised my hand again. My teacher pointed at me and nodded, I replied "He got killed." "Exactly! He was murdered, back in 1980! Can anyone see the irony in that?" A couple sarcastic kids shook their heads no, my teachers eyes widened, "You can't?" (This is an honors class, by the by), she continued "Here's some irony for you! He was murdered...BY A FAN!!!" One kid said "That's not a---" But he was cut off, "I know that isn't a fan!" At this point, my teacher was basically livid, she said "He was by Mark....Mark....Oh what was his name?" I shouted out loud "David Chapman." My teacher threw her hands up and shouted back "THANK YOU!!!!!"

Now remember that my teacher was livid, however, my peers were annoyed, not at themselves for being uncultured swine's, but at me. Well, at least one was. The most I got from the 'annoyed one' was a scowl, which I can deal with, I returned the scowl. One girl, a very popular athletic one, turned around, looked at me, shocked, and shouted "DAYUM GIRL!!" I smiled, nodded and looked away.

About a half hour passed, suddenly another very popular girl turned to me. I forget exactly how this conversation went down, but she had a few questions and I answered them for her. I left the class thinking that I'm now going to be known as 'The JROTC girl, with the facts.'

Thanks for reading this, have a great day or evening, wherever (or when) you happen to be lol
