mm, why are you reading a book if you have to write an essay about a personal experience?

this is my method, it has always worked for me:

1) read the back cover of the book and maybe 5 pages of it
2) think of what the book might be about, then write a load of BS about it.
3) flip to random pages in the book to find some nonsense that you can quote to support your thesis - teachers love quotes (not too many though).

i know, but this essay is about a self experience, not about a book or anything like that.

i really dont care to pass this class with a high grade, i just need a C in order to get into the program i want.
