TKAM Journal 8: Cecil Jacobs POV

All I’d wanted to do was have a nice talk to the class about my event. I just wanted to go up, recite my speech, and then sit back down. Did that happen? Of course not! My five minutes of fame inconveniently turned into a discussion with the class that I did not lead. Miss Gates stole all of my credit and now Jean Louise was the star, having answered he hard question. Now we got into a big talk about democracy when all I asked for was a little praise for my choice in articles. I raised my hand each time to try and redeem myself but she just wouldn’t look in my direction. Even though that made me mad, I had to admit, the talk we were having was a very god one so I consented to let it continue. People were interested in the fact that it was happening now, also people didn’t understand why this Hitler guy was doing all the things that he was doing. The overall assessment of the class was that he was an all around evil guy for persecuting people for no reason. Even though I didn’t really understand why he did it, I knew he was wrong.
