I Baroque Out in Laughter....

{I was in class, and there was a dicussion about Baroque Literature. The teacher was discussing famous authors of the era when she came to Defoe.}

Teacher: Defoe wrote a book few people know little about anymore, but it used to be quite popular.
Student: Robinson Crusoe.
Teacher: (surprised) Very good!! It was about a family who was shipwrecked on an island, and they basically built themselves a whole big place to live. Then a few years back, Disney made a movie of the book, changing the title. They called it Swiss Family Robinson.
Student: {Puts head down to supress laughter, teacher goes right on....}

{For those of you who are going HUH?, look up Johann David Wyss.}
