Rookee: what's wrong?

Narrator: the teacher didn't even bother to grade my paper that I worked hard on because she precived too many gramatical and Spelling mistakes. ( I only found one spelling myself.)

Rookee: and your upset....again.

Narrator: why shouldn't I be? I worked hard, and just because no one around here accepts that you can be understood without grammar I can't make a good grade? No...strike that, It's not "good enough" for her to waste her time on? Are you kidding me?! If anyone wasted there time It would have been me! I didn't want to do the project, I don't think research projects from any student is worth crap anyway. I"M THE ONE WHO WASTED MY TIME!

Rookee: calm down.

Narrator: I worked forever trying to find out how to cite alone, alone...and even when I think I have it right, it's wrong....that is bunk! bunk! I wrote a whole blog on the uselessness of research papers...on my other blog!!!!! I hope one day I become a bestselling author only then will I be able to escape this stupidity.

Rookee: Grammar is so that everything can be formated the same way so that It can be understood by the masses.

Narrator: Bunk that too! Heck Rookee the Masses can read Blogs and emails and such with less grammar than that of the average three year old. So I don't by that either.

Rookee: Narrator....

Narrator: If we were to ignore every piece in the universe that had even one gramatical error or spelling mistake then we would indeed have very little to read.

Rookee: Your being a pain. Your not thinking logically. If the teacher accepted your paper she would have to accept even less acceptable work.

Narrator: She couldn't read Jasper Fforde or Caroll Lewis....

Rookee: your not listening are you?

Narrator: No....It...It just upsets me that's all...that my hard earned grades and hard work can be tossed aside just because it's not like others. It's not the same.That's why I would love to be published writer, they have editors and no body really cares if they have their sentance structure screwed up. Sometimes they do it on puorpuse. People don't read them because they are grammaticaly correct. they read them because the like them, because they are diffrent. Because they are not the same.

Rookee: great little speech and all but I doubt you will find to many teachers and colleges on your side there.

Narrator: And? I don't care if they are. The point is that they are missing some of the greatest minds out there because they can't accept a few grammatically diffrent people. It's a form of discrimination.

Rookee: Oh is it? I think your going too far with that.

Narrator: I might be...Ah  Rookee, what can I do about it? I can't even see where I am making the mistakes. Is it wrong to not want to do research papers because you have yet to do one right? The only A I've ever gotten on a paper was one that was nothing but my oppion on "self-reliance" .....that's right I got an A!

Rookee: Is that why you would rather someone ask your oppeion?

Narrator: yes. quite honeslty, yes. I never have to cite. I never have to be right. I just have to write. I like that much better.

Rookee: will you be ok Narrator?

Narrator: I don't know Rookee, I just don't know.
