If an English lit teacher was passing out assignments assignments for
students to give a book report. Various books are chosen, some long ,
some short.

OK, the list has several *options* None are specifically required.
Here's a sample list:

"To Kill a Mockingbird"
"All Quiet one the Western Front"
"Gulliver's Travels"
"Moby Dick"
"The book of Matthew"
"Oliver Twist"
"The Trial"

As long as the teacher understands the report might not be positive
and that the reporter may point out incongruities in the story line
and historic inaccuracies, where is the problem?

The problem is that I am sure that "the teacher" wouldn't allow such
criticism of the other works... But I know, it's Christianity so it's ok
to just trash it and forget the content.... pffffttt...

I wrote a lot of cynical book reports. At least they knew I read the
book and perhaps even tried to understand what they were trying to
tell me in a real world context.


I did one in college. I forget the book. The report was a couple of dozen
pages or so. The prof gave me a B- because it was "so negative." I
complained, and I pointed out that everything I wrote was supported by
logical points. He revised the grade to a B+.
