“ You see, labels play a huge part in society. Even in the 1800’s. For example, old or widowed women back then were labelled as witches, or when different cultures and religions are not accepted by society because of one stupid mistake of the past, which still hasn’t changed yet. These days, you see them more because of how you look, and your style or personality. For instance, when you go into our school cafeteria, and you see all the different ‘cliques’, which can include the jocks, the nerds, the video game geeks, the gang leaders, the shy ones, the queens, the emo gang, and ones who just want to be on their own. The assignment you guys will be working on for the next 2 weeks has a lot to do with this.”

But I’m not.

 

“ Ms. Skye.”

 

I lost my train of thought.

 

“ Yes, Mr. Hale?”

 

“ Are you paying attention?”

 

“ Yes, yes I am.”

 

“ Really?”

 

I nodded.

 

“ Then what did I say, and I want close to exact wording.”

 

I cleared my throat.
