Monomyths [Tuesday, February , Period 3]

"Welcome to your midterms, kids," Cindy said, sounding amused, as the class filed in. She nodded to her two TAs if they were here, holding out a sheaf of papers for them to pass around. "I'm sure you know the rules: eyes on your own paper, hand them in at the end of class, if I can't read your handwriting, it doesn't count, and don't spill coffee on your tests." She jerked her thumb at her desk: There were several carafes of coffee from J,Gob and a variety of creamers and sugar packets next to the stack of styrofoam cups. The coffee was all regular of course; decaf was the work of the Mundy devil. "Just keep an eye on the time," she advised dryly. "If you waste too much time going for refills or running to the bathroom, well, too bad."

Cindy sat behind her desk, a well-worn copy of Left with the Breeze in front of her, her own cup of coffee steaming by her hand. "If you would like to present me with alternatives to Wendy for your final, you can do so once you hand in your exam. Once you're finished with your test, you may leave."

Once all the tests were handed out, Cindy glanced at the clock and said, "You may begin."

Damn, she felt teacherly. She almost wished she'd demanded they only use number two pencils.

[Shortest. Class. Ever. Anyway, wait for the OCD]

Re: Essay Question #1

Liir answered the question, going for 'point of view' as his technique. He didn't actually know the term 'unreliable narrator', but that was the general track he chose to take. It was a somewhat twisty answer, but there was a sort of logic to it.
