Re: OP

I teach 12th-grade English, OP, and I'm sorry you had that experience. Teachers have preferences like anyone else (mine is for fantasy/sci-fi, and I would have approved your essay happily), but I believe we should be able to give students a chance to explore what can be significant in all the books they read, regardless of genre. That teaches the skills of analysis, instead of "teaching a book".

IDK, I'd be a lot happier grading a good essay on "His Dark Materials" than a mediocre essay on HIGH LITERATURE or whatever. While you can't always write about texts you enjoy, it does show in the writing when you enjoy the text.
