What Really Happens

This is considered the easy literature class. While other classes have to read and reflect (pronounced: "read the Sparknotes") on literature picked for its soporific effects, the Multiethnic teachers are apparently pleased that people show up.

Note: Some teachers of the subject are apparently more "difficult" than others. This class as taught by Brenda Ryan seems to be one of the easier versions of the class.
