Hmm... but of the plot of this thread is explaining times you misunderstood a book, isn't explaining the thread fall outside of it's guidelines, meaning it isn't in opposition to the thread, but merely there?

Tbh i was actually trying more to write weird summary than an accurate one (i thought it was about the plot sounding really bad)

That is exactly what you are supposed to do. I honestly don't really agree with the other explanations much.

Eh, I think any kind of plot counts.  There have been movies and stuff other than books.  Spirit of the law vs the letter of the law, and all that.  ;)

It's about explaining a plot as inaccurately and misleadingly as possible while still being technically accurate (which usually requires a good understanding of the plot in the first place, so I stand by my earlier bad explanation of this thread's plot ;)).

I feel like I have to do a bad plot summary every time I post in this thread, so... Mistborn Era 1 and Secret History: 

Spoiler

The spirited young mountain guide Rashek dreams of a better life.  His uncle Kwaan encourages Rashek to murder one of Kwaan's closest friends.  "Sure," Rashek replies.  Later, Rashek takes a bath and realizes that was all he needed to fulfill his dreams.  Now Rashek has bigger dreams, but a conman and an insecure teenager mess everything up.  Rashek dies.  This exasperates Rashek, so he decides to die again.
