not scene from a balcony

the paper has an opinion piece on the new list of literature that may be studied in year 12.

Dylan Caporn writes that "the response was predictable". What he means is, "I'm right and a lot of other people put up opposing views."

He is particularly down on Romeo and Juliet. His key objection is that Shakespeare wrote the play when he was a married man in his thirties. Hmm?

Caporn wants to give students the chance at learning "something truly new" but he fails to make suggestions. Perhaps in four hundred years we will still be reading the new timeless classic The Road, with its themes of sick violence and despair. Or will we still be enjoying the hugely successful new classic, Fifty Shades of Grey.

He ends his piece with a hammer blow of irony: "That's something to shout from a balcony about." His own recommended reading list will leave students wondering, Why is this idiot now talking about a balcony?
