10 Things I Hate About You - Sonnet
It's the second scene in Mr. Morgan's classroom, when he reads the sonnet (Shakespeare) out loud, and then closes the book as if he is finished, and tells the class to rewrite the assignment. The problem is, all sonnets have fourteen lines (exactly) and what he reads has nowhere near that. Either the what he read was labeled incorrectly as a sonnet, or he didn't read the whole thing (which I think would be kind of weird, since he's giving an assignment.)

I think what the teacher said was just a part of the sonnet, but it explained the meaning of the whole thing. He didn't want the students to rewrite the whole, exact sonnet, he wanted them to write their own version based on the simplified meaning he gave to them.

I read this sonnet not long ago, and there is more to it. It appears the Teacher just didn't read all of it......

If you pay close attention, the teacher actually misquotes the sonnet-bit (and it is only the first part of the sonnet that he quotes). It isn't a gross misrepresentation of Shakespeare, but definately not something an English teacher would let slide.
