A man/woman reading a dead book.

Dead book symbolizes a text book. The reason its dead is because your parents force you into reading it for hours on end attempting to get ready for the Midterm Exams. It makes you feel like your not alive; You feel oppressed and forced to do something you really shouldn't. I mean, you SHOULD study for the midterms, except you read from the review packets that your teacher provides. My dad forces me to read from the textbook rather than the review packets that our teachers provide. He beleives that the text book is the basis of all classroom knowledge, because that's how it was like when he was in high school. Unfortunatly, he went to schools in Soviet Russia, where the standards there were so much higher. Education in the Soviet Union was strict, tough and much more important. In america, education is important and less costly and many schools are good. But the standards have lessened. Look at Hip-Hop Star Eminem. The man is currently making millions of dollars yearly and he was a high-school dropout. Compare him to a student who went through his education and ended up going to Harvard Law, living off financial aid and soon becoming a layer making maybe... 300,000/year. Cases like this are just as rare, yet the dropout makes much more than the lawer. Is it fair? Of course not. Is it right? I'll leave that up to you.

Sorry, I kinda went off on a rant here.

This is the darker side to studying. Forced to be in a littler room reading a text book for hours.

The ciggerette in the creatures hand.... well, I personally don't smoke. But everyone knows how frustrating these kind of examinations could be....

Anywyas, I did this with a sharpie and a ballpoint pen. Bright/Contrast fixes in PS7.
Took me all of 10 minutes.

Hope ya like.
