8 A. Read the text and say why Mr Spencer was unhappy about Holdentasks essay.
Holden Comes to See His Teacher
Part II
“Your exam paper is over there on top of the pile. Bring it here, please,” said old Spencer. It was a very dirty trick, but I went over and brought it over to him — I didn’t have any alternative. At that moment I was sorry that I’d stopped by to say good-bye to him.
“We studied the Egyptians from November 4th to December 2nd,” he said. “You chose to write about them. Would you care to hear what you had to say?”
“No, sir, not very much,” I said.
He read it anyway, though. You can’t stop a teacher when they want to do something. They just do it.
The Egyptians were an ancient race of Caucasians1 living in one of the northern sections of Africa. The latter as we all know is the largest continent in the Eastern hemisphere2.
The Egyptians are extremely interesting to us today for various reasons. Modern science would still like to know what the secret ingredients were that the Egyptians used when they wrapped up dead people so that their faces would not rot3 for innumerable centuries. This interesting riddle is still quite a challenge to modern science in the twentieth century.
He stopped reading and put my paper down. I was beginning to hate him. “Your essay ends there,” he said in his very sarcastic voice. “However, you left me a little note, at the bottom the page,” he said.
“I know I did,” I said. I said it very fast because I wanted to stop him before he started reading that out loud. But you couldn’t stop him.
DEAR MR SPENCER [he read]. That is all I know about the Egyptians. I am not very interested in them although your lectures are very interesting. It is all right with me if you flunk me though as I am flunking everything else except English anyway. Respectfully yours,
Holden Caulfield.
