A funny "Onion" moment

Girl Moved To Tears By Of Mice And Men Cliffs Notes

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA—A visibly shaken Grace Weaver said she never wanted the synopsis to end.

When I read this story, I had to laugh. Some of the stuff on "the Onion" can be a little shocking but other stories are hilarious. I have, sadly, had the experience of talking to fellow students about influential novels and come to realize that theyhave only read the Cliff Notes. As an English major I find myself sometimes liking but usually loathing Cliff Notes. They are helpful in a jam if you can't remember plot points but horrible because it kills the "spirit" of the book.
