More assigned reading

Hmmm . . . I seem to be reading a lot of teacher blogs these days. You really need to go here, where a high-school (I presume) English teacher shares some noteworthy writing by one of his young charges. The assignment was to write about favorite songs. Here's one of my favorite parts:
Snoop also creates suspense in his song. For example, he inquires, "How many hoes in '94 will I be bangin'?" Now it is 2006, so he probably knows by now how many he has banged. But this still creates suspense. It leaves the listeners wondering just how many hoes will need to be banged by Snoop. They will want to listen longer so they can find out.
