meanwhile, in world literature...
she says, has anyone ever heard the name or term machiavelli before and where?
i know this... i know this... this is my chance to add to the class discussion
i blurt out, tupac!
what!
tupac!
oh, i've never heard that before. i'm not sure i know what you are talking about.
what! don't know what i am talking about?
all eyes are on me now...
quickly i scan the room looking for some kind of confirmation from another student but they're shaking their heads no. some say i'm thinking of something else.
i plead my case further.
didn't mackiavelli say something about staging one's own death in order to maintain or gain political power? makaveli, although spelled differently, was the name used for two of tupac's videos released after his so called death. weird...
the teacher says she is not sure. never really heard of that.
what's going on here? am i the only thug in the class? i really don't even listen to rap music.
maybe tupac is a little before their time. i probably am one of the older students in the class.
i slide down into my chair and refrain from offering any more obscure references for the rest of the day.
