"Today you will be writing an essay about a character from a book you've recently read. You'll be writing on why that character is heroic. And if you haven't read a book recently, I suggest you get working. It's due by Wednesday , and only 9 b-verbs allowed!" she snarled at them, staring mostly at Naieves. She then sat down and started reading her own book.
