Actually this started because I was so angry in Newspaper when I was heckled during my reading of a banned children’s book about gay penguins, that I wrote about it in my journal for English, instead of just standing on the table then and saving myself a lot of grief. (Just be respectful to the reader! Is that so hard?!)
So I was challenged by my teacher to stand on the desk in his class and yell, for a dollar. Since the other students got wind of it, all of his classes have been contributing and it’s become about $30. In a few weeks, school will be out, so I’m now on a clock.
And it’s not that I don’t have anything to yell about. It’s like nearly everyone who I’ve ever had qualms with has been placed in this one period, but I just don’t know if I’m reading to leave on bad terms with that many people.
Should I do it? Do I even have that kind of nerve? I don’t know anymore.
I’m pretty sure I’m getting frustrated with all the people trying to force me to be angry enough to do it though. It’s almost like they win if I crack.
