class discussion

The context: an entirely student generated discussion about some writing basics. I'm just sitting in the corner taking note of how much they "get" and at what level.

Guy in Corner: Is "stance" always about persuasion? What if you're trying to persuade someone who completely disagrees with you?

Guy with giant eyeballs: I think that maybe you can write a paper and hope that you can convince one person who will convince another person who will eventually convince someone who will convince someone important?

Girl with long ponytail: Like Clinton!

silence.

Girl with ponytail: Like Clinton! If we could just convince Clinton! Everybody listens to him! (sneer)

silence.
