Lisa: I. Hate. Annotating.
Rowlf: What's annotating?
Lisa: It's when you read something, and you underline and circle and highlight all sorts of stuff, and you write stuff all over the margins like "irony" and "metaphor" and "simile" and "repetition" and "foreshadowing" and "so-and-so thinks such-and-such" and definitions for words you don't know and this that and the other thing and it's about as annoying than my sister's alarm going off at 4:30 in the morning! And English teachers absolutely LOVE to assign for us to annotate random articles and passages and every single book we read. And did I mention that I hate it?
Rowlf: Yeah, I think so.
Lisa: I hate it. It's probably THE main reason that English is no longer my favorite subject anymore. The other two reasons are bad teachers and symbolism. But I'll rant about that another time.
