Bloopers abound in all types of classrooms. Take these (please!) from English papers:

  1. The bowels are a,e,i,o,u and sometimes w and y.
  2. A passive verb is when the subject is the sufferer, as in "I am loved".
  3. In Great Expectations, Miss Havisham puts herself into conclusion.
  4. The first scene I would like to analize occurs in Heart of Darkness.
  5. At the start of The Grapes of Wrath, Oklahoma has been hit by a dust bowl.
  6. At the end of The Awakening, Edna thinks only of herself. Her suicide is selfish because she leaves all who care about her behind.
  7. In The Glass Menagerie, Laura's leg keeps coming between her and other people.
  8. The death of Francis Macomber was a turning point in his life.
  9. The Gorgons had long snakes in their hair. They looked like women, only more horrible.
  10. Zwingli's followers all smashed their organs.
