I agree, something about being a teenager/young adult and being forced to do something makes people more prone to despise it. I hated a lot of the books I had to read on school that I might not hate now (Crime and Punishment comes to mind). For Hemingway, I've always loved his simplicity. He tells the simple story better than anyone. The animations is beautifully done and tells the story well. Thank you. I appreciate that you actually watched the animation. Anyone else take the time? I think it's ace Not a problem, it's a great short piece. There's a reason it won an Oscar.

One year, I had to read this pile with THE GOOD EARTH. OMG YOU HAVE NOT DIED INSIDE UNTIL YOU READ THAT snorkING AWFUL PIECE OF GARBAGE. Loved The Good Earth too. For the life of me I will never get why people despise great literature so much, but I do have some theories. I think it might have something to do with people being forced to read these books in school, thus they wade through them trying to pick out key points that might be on a test/quiz. Also I really don't believe that teenagers can fully grasp, or appreciate many of these great books. To the OP Farewell to Arms is another great one though I don't like it as much as the two other books I mentioned. That's strange, because I enjoy almost everything that's assigned in english class.
