// Ms. Breslin has the kind heart to sympathize with the students
*after a discussion about Transcendentalism, Ms. Breslin pauses and looks at the class*
Ms. Breslin: I'm going to stop for now. Because I think you'll fall over dead if I don't.
// The date for the class trip is discussed
Student: But the day after Friday is the SATs!
Ms. Breslin: You don't think it would be good for you to relax before the SATs??
Ms. Breslin: ...Plus! There are lots of words in the museum!
// A student complains that Whitman uses too many pages to express such a simple idea
Ms. Breslin: So he wrote all this stuff, like 100 pages, for nothing.
Ms. Breslin: Instead, he could have written... (in a monotonous voice) "When animals and humans die, the grass gets nutrients from these corpses."
Ms. Breslin: But now, we're just ALL BORED!
