Pastiche- A Day in my life... Scary stuff lolz

So, in English class we just finished the book "One Day in The Life of Ivan Denisovich" and i swear to bob, if i never have to see that damn book again, it will be too soon, no screw that, my ass is not reading another book by Alexander Solzhenitsyn (pronounce that if you dare). My teacher beat the shit out of that book, and i know its an IB class but Jesus christ, stylistic notes, passage annotation, literary analysis? Really? Well anyway, as if that was not enough, we had to write a damn pastiche of the work, for those of you who don't know, you're lucky if you don't, a pastiche is an artistic work in a style that imitates that of another work, artist, or period, and that's straight from webster. Now imagine having to write all the crap you do, in detail, in one day. Doing my damn make-up took up almost too paragraphs alone! and it had to be 7 pages at least. WTF.
