Multiple Choice


With the infamous multiple choice game tomorrow I would like to, for once, put all the trash talk aside and wish everyone well-deserved luck. Primarily, for the simple reason that I have never misunderstood a poem more than I did today. All I grasped the entire period was it had something to do with coins, the earth, and tears. As a collective unit, not separate teams, I believe we all accomplished something fantastic just through our ability to decipher some meaning from that cryptic piece of writing. For goodness sakes, most high school students are still developing their five paragraph essay skills while we sit at our desks and attempt to determine whether a poem (which I could barely comprehend) symbolizes the anxiety of lovers, the world's demise, or a broken up couple. All seem like perfectly legitimate answers to me! In all honesty, I am proud and thankful to be surrounded in a single classroom by so many intelligent people who, each and everyday force me to become smarter. The second reason I would like to extend my hand to everyone in the other groups is because we all need the EXTRA CREDIT. I don't think there has ever been a class in the history of Chagrin Falls where more people are sitting on a B+ to end the third quarter. It's demoralizing to think, one can work so hard but fall slightly short of that almighty A. I know there are a handful of people in our very class who hold a perfect transcript, without a single A, and I sincerely hope that they can achieve a feat which I am unable to even fathom. Good luck tomorrow everyone, and rack up that EC!!!
