Literature 101- Thursday- 4th period

[puppyinacup.livejournal.com]

After the first week of class, no one should be surprised that Jess was dressed up today. No one. Because there she was, in a striped shirt and boots, sporting a pirate hat and an eyepatch.

"Arrrrr, me hearties, welcome ye t' class!" she said. "First I be asking y' to pass up yer book reports on th' meta fer Huckleberry Finn, arrr. And we're gonna go around t' room and just hear yer opinion on the book. It doesn't have t' be anything long, jus' tell me yer opinion!"

Once they'd done that, Jess started passing out this week's book and continued, "This we're we're gon'a be goin' o'er t' meta fer Treasure Island, arrr. Which is t' story of a boy who be going on travels wit' a ragtag band of pirates on th' hunt fer... treasure. We were t' be doing another book this week but th' opportunity was too good to pass up, aye. So fer next week yer t' read th' book for a discussion, jus' like last time!"

Jess wasn't actually affected by the weird pirate speech patterns or anything. She was just that committed to character.

Or just react to Jess. She knows she's weird, okay?

What's your opinion on the meta for Huckleberry Finn?

She'll kind of be glad to stop talking like a pirate, actually.

The trick to writing like a pirate it just to pretend you're Barbossa.
