It’s spring break and I’ve been grading midterms. As I sometimes do, I thought I’d share some of my students’ gems of wisdom and creative writing. I’ve reproduced all of the student work verbatim.
But tomorrow is my release day! My novella Night Shift will be available tomorrow from Dreamspinner, Amazon, and other online sources. For your chance to win an e-copy of Night Shift, all you have to do is leave a comment below, telling me which is your favorite student goof. I’ll randomly choose a winner on April 7 at noon Pacific time.
Outgroup homogeneity is:
…the spreading of similar or alike ideas to an outside group.
…the overall drop out of hate group members.
…people who are against gay people or who fear being around gay people.
…a group of people who hat homosexuals.
…a help group to help those who got out of hate groups and don’t want to be like that.
Klan units quickly arouse throughout the South.
The typical hate crime offender is white male, teens to early twenties, could be some kind of loaner with not many friends.
Without [women] to set up all the parties, get togethers, and hoedowns then nothing would ever get done.
The only difference from each other is that in the past not everyone was allowed to be everywhere and not everyone is not matter what skin color you are, but that is the only difference between both.
They aimed for civil rights activist and even boomed places like African American churches as well as Jewish synagogues.
The Skinheads were started in the 1960’s, in England by young white teenagers in their early 20’s.
David Duke is popular in the KKK movement. He believed all Jews were traders.
Lastly, women are more important to produce offspring’s.
Types of hate groups: Nazis, Ky Klux Klan, Red heads, Skin heads, anti-gay groups
Militias were kinda like missional organizations.
Farmingville is a small town where immigration within the town was exploided.
It appears the role women have in organized hate groups play a secondary role compared to men who take on leadership of running there hate groups and making things happen.
The Skinheads were founded in 1865 and peaked around the 1870’s.
Members of the Klan tended to consist of patriarchal men of high power such as Generals, Colonels, college educated men, officer raked military men, a Supreme Court Justice member and even a Presidents.
I laughed at the David Duke believed all Jews were traders line, so that’s my pick… though the loaner with not many friends was a close second. 😀 Some good ones in there!
I’m still laughing over “young white teenagers in their early 20’s” and the hate group known as the “Red Heads”! 🙂
Teenagers in their early 20’s…LOL! These were SO funny. Thanks for sharing. I’ve already pre-ordered, so don’t include me in the drawing, but thanks for the laughs!! 🙂
“The only difference from each other” is a paradigm of garbled confusion.
There were sure a lot of good ones to pick from, but I’m going with:
Types of hate groups: Nazis, Ky Klux Klan, Red heads, Skin heads, anti-gay groups
Who knew red haired people were so hateful???
The Red Haired hate group is awesome but it was the loaner one that made me laugh! Too funny!
The only difference from each other is that in the past not everyone was allowed to be everywhere and not everyone is not matter what skin color you are, but that is the only difference between both.
This one would be my pick just for the huh factor? Thanks for sharing these. Funny as.
I totally agree, Anne! LOL I finally gave up trying to figure it out…
*shakes head*, snorts with laughter. Those are good!
You are the randomly chosen winner of Night Shift. Please send me an email (dephalqu@yahoo.com) and I’ can tell you how to claim.
Congratulations!
I’ll have to join the red head brigade, although several made me LOL. My college students are not as amusing (though often just as wrong).
Well, we all knew that it takes a women to get things done! LOL These are priceless.
I laughed at lots of them, but Farmingville just did it for me. Although I do have to admit not having women around to set up the partieswas pretty funny also.
We have to choose? Oh, fine. This one sounds like a bad pun, and just what does the writer have on his or her mind….?
“Klan units quickly arouse throughout the South.”
Tsk.
love, lore
The arousing Klan was great, so too is the Red heads (didn’t realize I belonged to a hate group), but I think I like the ‘women are necessary to get stuff done’ one because it’s so true and I can’t imagine a world without all those hoedowns.
Oh my! My favorite would have to be: Types of hate groups: Nazis, Ky Klux Klan, Red heads, Skin heads, anti-gay groups. I just can’t imagine writing that on an exam!!! Just too terrible!

How in the world to you choose just one? I guess the one that stands out for me is “Klan groups quickly arouse throughout the south”. Guess those sheets cam in handy.
I also loved the aimed and boomed one.
At least there’s some entertainment in grading papers; I’d love to see the comments you write on them.
