Reading Response 3: If I Have a Wicked Stepmother, Where's My Prince?

Today, Lucy first talks about the beginning of second semester when she signed up to take an art class taught by an amazing teacher, Ms. Daniels. She described the art teacher by saying
"Unlike the rest of the Glen Lake faculty...A) She really knows her stuff, B) is not deaf, dumb, blind, and/or clinically insane, and C) does not dress as if we were still living under President Washington."
Honestly, I feel like those teachers would look quite dapper. But, I can see where she comes from because we have all dealt with teachers like that. Lucy made a point on how she enjoyed that Ms. Daniels is "not afraid to give serious assignments...and to grade them hard." I myself, appreciate that too. My main objective of classes is to learn something and have it be challenging to make me think and figure out a solution. As much as I hate getting bad grades, it is always a wake-up call for me to study harder and learn from those mistakes.
Lucy brings up that the other kids in her class are not as artistic nor do they appreciate art as much as she does. Except for one guy, Sam Wolff. He is a junior who is "the best artist in the whole school." His paintings are hung all over the school and when Ms. Daniels called his name for attendance on the first day, Lucy was stoked and thought she could try to befriend him. I really hope she can be friends with him because they could appreciate art together like no other.
