Aw, I got that. 
And yes, it did make sense.
It's the same idea as "go with the ending that serves the story." I think being an author is a lot harder than beign a reader. Everyone wants things to go a certain way or fit into a subset of a certain mold. And not everyone does that; it's what I like and hate about fanfic all at once.
I mean, at one side, if everyone had the same tastes and worldviews because then we would all be able to enjoy each other's work and have awesome discussions about it. But because we're all different, I feel like we can appreciate what everyone else does more. Being writers ourselves, I mean.
It's like finding your friends. No one wants a friend just like them, you want friends that have qualities you want, because then hopefully you can grow because of that.
And that was a ramble. lmao
There was a book I felt that way about too in tenth grade.... The character's name was Phinneas and he broke his legs and then died or something... I don't remember what it was called... But I wanted to shoot myself... Oh, and "Of Mice and Men." I cannot stand that book. lmao
Yep, I agree.
LOL I didn't mind "Of Mice and Men" because at least it was short. But the ending sucked!! I like angst and all, but that was seriously effed up LOL.
In my Brit Lit class my junior year of h.s., we got to choose between reading "Pride and Prejudice" and "Frankenstein." Naturally, I chose Frankenstein, 1) because P&P sounded like a total bore, and 2) because I love horror and love the movie versions of Frankenstein, so I was actually really excited about reading it. I read Frankenstein and really disliked it... it's one of the rare cases where I thought the 1930s movie version, which is very different, was a lot better. I actually found Frankenstein's monster/creature to be a more sympathetic character in the movie than in the book, even though I think it was supposed to be the other way around LOL. But I just hated him by the end of the book.
We also had to read two Arthur Miller plays, "Death of a Salesmen" and "The Crucible," and I didn't like either of those either. I was disappointed by "The Crucible" because I thought that one would be interesting, being about the Salem Witch Trials and all, but I didn't really like it.
"Great Expectations" was another one that I found to be a pointless yawner of a story. Its only redeeming quality was Miss Havisham because she was at least an interesting character. Well, that and the fact that South Park did a parody of it, and I got the humor because I had read it.
I will never be the type of person to sit around reading those classics for fun, but there were some that I at least kind of got into. I liked "Romeo & Juliet" and "Macbeth"... "The Odyssey"... "Wuthering Heights"...
