hmm. why did they translate the title? they should have left it as Oedipus Rex. And this one is much better then the sequels, Antigone was so boring.

man, you guys take AP? CP for me lol. is AP like to get ready to take a college test? and then you get college credits or something?

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Yeah, the class is actually supposed to be a college course and some of them are atually taught as if you were in college. Then in May you take the college exam (most colleges are taking them then too) and it's grade on a scale of 0-5 and if you get 3+ most colleges will except credit for the course. I took European and Lit Comp. so I got like 12 credits out of that because they are both 2 college courses.

good job, you deserve a pat on the back!

I didn't think I'd do that good, especially with the Euro cause I never studied, but now I can graduate county early hopefully and save my parents lots of money to make up for me not holding a job for longer then 3 months so far.

yea i read oedipus in middle school. first two books i read or cliff'd were great expectations and the oddysey.. in 9th grade honors enlgish/world cultures. it was weird.. they experimented with kids who had honors english and world cultures by combining them together... dont knwo what it did.. but it wasn't all that fun. thats when i came to the realization that highschool is so much more fun when you dont have honors classes. Dddrrrroopppped.

Seriously? I hated being in non-honors cause you how to do actual work, not just read and discuss. First book I cliff'd would be Lord of the Flies..I couldn't cliff Great Expectations cause we read some weird version and the people who cliff'd it wrote essays on all this stuff we didn't read.

well i got dumber as the years went by.. because i was preoccuppied with good times.. but... it was so much easier.. with honors classes i had to read 500 pg books on non interesting stories... whereas.. the other classes with learned vocabulary and read cat in the hat. good times..

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Understandable..I'm really bad at vocab. My teacher would give us like 500 words and then on the quiz 10 of them would appear and it made me mad..so I just wouldn't study...and I basically failed every single one.

malibu malibuOG 2001

yeah the regular classes do so much more work than all my honors calsses. you do all the work by yourself and then you take a test. that's it. and then even half the tests are bogus and they make up grades anyway.
