Kaylee:
Since, you know, I was just talking to Mom about this: we both learned it as a textbook. Our textbooks were chopped up into chapters, and then we'd have guiding questions and, I guess, exercises and stuff. Since you guys learned it as a novel — I mean, you also had quizzes and everything — but did it feel less like a textbook and more like a literary work?
Kenneth:
[0:36] Yes, we read it as a novel, and it looked more like a literary work that we were analyzing. For me, that was more fun. It was more real world. It was as if the school were preparing us not to look at it as a compulsory subject, like a course, but more enjoying the book — and then deriving what we can get from that book. And exactly — exactly like enjoying a telenovela.
