In situations like this, when everyone's all "journeys benefit the protagonist as it brings on life altering epiphanies" ... i enjoy finding something negative to talk about ^.^ lol
me: "Physical journeys, whether with a positive or negative outcome, project a feeling of apathy through the protagonist..." Can't remember the exact topic sentence but you get the gist. I like to talk about apathy, nihilism... tis teh funzors! and my teacher likes it cause it's different to the rest of the class.
lol i like being negative
