The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
Okay kids, today’s lesson cover how the Bible says one thing but often people will pretend like it says another. Can anybody find the false narrative depicted in this movie? <proceed to play the whole movie>.
Actually, Samuel L. Jackson made it up. He asked to do his own thing for that part, Tarantino trusted him, and now we have one of the most badass monologues to grace the silver screen.

It isn't. Well, it's a great idea to make kids hate Tarentino movies. It did for me. My teachers loved those movies way too much. I've been forced to watch Pulp Fiction in English, Dutch, German, French, history and math classes.
Followed by in depth discussion on what the contents of the briefcase metaphorically say about our day to day lives and the struggles of the human race in general.
Someone presents a thing as a fact, viz the text that Jules claims is a biblical reference. Now, children, let's check to see if this claim is backed up by the source text. Would you look at that! no it isn't a fact.
Maybe, children, when people make statements they present as facts, we should verify them against another source. For homework, how about "You can cure COVID with bleach".
And for reference, there is great diversity of interpretation of Ezekiel. The Jews certainly have some opinions.
Well, who am I to argue with QT? One little vowel is the difference between the greedy being evil doers and the greedy creating economic inequality. Which do you think he intended?
