__Prompt:__ In the language classroom, as the narrator mentions, we are often asked to talk about things that we would never in reality talk about:

“How often is one asked what he loves in this world? More to the point, how often is one asked and then publicly ridiculed for his answer?”

Have you ever had a similar feeling in a language classroom? Write a brief narrative explaining your experiences. If you have never experienced this directly, write a brief narrative about a time where a student was ridiculed for his or her answer.
