[The open-air classroom is back, blackboard still occasionally covered in snap quotes from your - yes, your - canon. There are, of course, desks. Some have gorillas seated in them. Sensei slams a hand into the desk.]
Then, if we are all here, I will begin the next lesson! First impressions!
Indeed, the adage is true! All of our relationships are based upon first impressions! Were I, a humble and refined teacher, to put on a clown nose, it would not change your perception of me! And yet! Were a genius to slip and fall upon meeting an idiot for the first time, he would be doomed! Doomed to be regarded by someone his lesser as one of their ilk for all time! A model, caught in the rain, is assumed to be a beggar! An intellectual meets a plebeian, but is doomed by a nasty cold to be considered a leper! People with desirable qualities and abilities, reduced to nothing at the mere whim of fate! It has me in despair!
--of course, I would not leave you with mere trifling examples. Then, as I take roll, I will make known to you this truth. Of course, this is a group exercise: I shall expect a marked increase in bile or insults thrown from pupil to pupil.
