ofsevenseas[On the first and second day of Literature Class (to compensate for late arrivals), the students are greeted by a large black board that reads "TISONI" with a pronunciation key underneath it, and a man with a knee-length ponytail, large hoop earrings dressed in slacks and an oversized sweater sitting on the edge of the desk]
Welcome to class, you'll be calling me Mr. Tisoni for this course, and we'll be covering literature and writing for the semester, before you groan - I hate picking apart everything in the text as much as you do, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. And we'll be going over more then books written by long dead Britons and Russians about the cruelty of life, including "Genre" fiction. We will also be writing, both the essays and original works.
There should be a survey on your desk, with four questions: Your favorite book that you had read, your least favorite, the hardest book you've read, and if you had done any non-school related writing.
[He hops off the desk and writes on the left-handed side:
Favorite: 1001 Nights, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Buck Rogers
Least Favorite: Lord of the Flies, The Jungle
Hardest Book: Finnegan's Wake
Writing: I'm published]
There's a little challenge, I did have some of my stories published, but it's not under my name for reasons - if you can figure out what I wrote, you'll get something special.
Feel free to talk amongst yourselves while filling out the survey, and ask questions if you want.
[With that, he's going back to his desk and pulls out a book - kicking his feet up on the desk and leaning back. No need to do busy work while he's assessing at what level the class's generally at]
[or alternatively]
[Since it's free period for his class, he's wandering all over the campus, looking for trouble - both mundane and supernatural. Hopefully you're not one of those trouble makers]
