Teenage Disease
2007年10月5日 星期五
Was reading Stephen King's "From A Buick 8" and came across this passage.
"And was all that important to my story? I thought so. The kid, obviously, thought different. I kept trying to give him a context and he kept repudiating it, wanting to hear the story out of context and out of history, chainless and immaculate. He wanted what suit him."
"He wasn't going to hear all I had to say, no matter how much I wanted him to or how hard I tried. He'd hear the parts he wanted to hear and call it good. Think of it as the Teenage Disease."
I understand man, I totally do.
Just try teaching any teenager.
They seldom want the facts, nor the background information.
All they want are the exam answers.
Or could it be just me?
Barely 25 and already turning into a naggy old fart?!
Crap.
