Best defence?
Posted: December 14th, 2005, 6:27 am
Well,
At my school I often read a lot. And one of the most frequent authors that I've been caught reading is C.S. Lewis. And at my school I sit across from two girls. And they often shoot down the fact that I read C.S. Lewis' books. They attack him for being a "Blind Christian who's writing is very dull and inexpressive" I often just ignore them, or tell them "That's a matter of opinion I believe."
But lately they've been really offending me, they're calling him sexist? To which I have no response. I can't defend him or myself. So it's getting really irritating, and I'm trying my best to just ignore them. But it's so hard. He's my favourite author, and I hate to see them mock him. Or call him names, or some silly thing.
So, can anyone help me out? I'm sure C.S. Lewis isn't sexist. I need something good that will shut them up. And since I've been a viewer of these forums for some time I decided to look for help here. This only takes place at school.
I'm in eighth grade, am currently in a prep school, with As-Bs. And yet this is the only problem in my life. These two bothersome ladies…
Any help is appreciated!
