If your protagonist is also the narrator, you’re going to get opinions. Some of those opinions are going to be strong. Get ready for a rant!

In my humble opinion, I reckon anyone who can make something as cool as media studies as snooze-inducing as this needs a round of applause. It’s a gift. Around me are a bunch of kids aching to write and film and get their creativity out there and so far all we’ve done is doze off in front of a whiteboard to him droning on about film analysis.

And they wonder why people change subjects.
