Thug Notes gives me that extra reason to read classic literature, if only so I can enjoy his analysis more.

As an English teacher in a urban high school, I am torn on this one. The summary and analysis is on point. But I feel like the "thug" vocabulary is a bit forced and may come off as pandering to my students. Almost as if they weren't "smart" enough to be told this info any other way. On the other hand, I give these people credit for trying to bridge the gap between classic Litt and an audience that might dismiss it as not relevant to their interest. But thank you for sharing, I think I will pass this on to my students and see what they think. It will make for an interesting assignment. :)

I don't know, I worked at an intercity grocery store and this sounds exactly like what I used to hear. However we got a bunch of NOLA refugees after Katrina so it might be a dialect thing. But I do see how it maybe could come off as insulting if someone took it seriously. Tell me how it goes.
