Quote by C.S. Lewis

A clever schoolboy's reaction to his reading is most naturally expressed by parody or imitation.


A clever schoolboy's reaction to his reading is most natural

Summary

This quote suggests that when a schoolboy encounters something intellectually stimulating in his reading, his first instinct is to respond through parody or imitation. Instead of merely absorbing the information, the clever student engages with it creatively by mimicking or satirizing it. This reaction reflects the student's quick wit and aptitude for fluid thinking, as well as his desire to actively interact with the content he encounters, rather than passively consuming it.
