Ah. I see. 
I am now reading that book on rhetorical devices. It's not really the reading part that bothers me, but we have to give examples of each specific one. And there are twenty-five of them. *sigh*
The essay was enough already!

ME? Work hard? 
I wouldn't know about that. I usually procrastinate, and this is one of those rare instances when I'm not procrastinating.

Nononono! I procrastinate!
Funny story, once I didn't do a short essay assigned three days before. So I wrote my essay during the bus ride to school the day it was due and I got a 100%!

Wow.
Reminds me of a family friend. He did something similar, but he wrote his during breakfast and the car trip to school.
It was an assignment and a contest entry. He ended up getting an A+ on his essay and it was accepted into the contest too (only certain essays were accepted)! He didn't win though.
Well, once in the fourth grade, I had a huge project, and I didn't start on it until the night before it was due! I stayed up until 4 A.M. doing it and ended up with either a B+ or A-!
Okay, maybe that wasn't all that great of a grade now that I think about it.

Better than an f though!
Hey I was looking up Marx on Wikipedia and it says he influenced Ho Chi Minh, The revolutionary leader of North Vietnam (before reunification). I was wondering if you knew which part of Vietnam your family originated from. Please don't answer if you think I'm intruding I will completely understand.

Pretty good. I found out that I can leg press 210 lbs.

Cool! I don't go to the gym so I'll guess that's a lot!

I was told it's a lot. These two guys that were there were gawking at me because I kept raising the resistance higher and higher. They told me it was a lot...

Well you probably can press more than me. I don't work out much...

Back from dinner!

Ah. My part of the family's from South Vietnam.
Some adults say that I have a North Vietnamese accent though. I don't think I do. I have a friend whose family's from North Vietnam and has their accent. I don't talk like that.
You're not intruding at all. No worries.

Okay I was worried it was a touchy subject just like Austro-Hungarian rule of Czechoslovakia is a little touchy to me.
