History Class
Daria came into the classroom.
“Class, we have we have a new student joining us today. Please welcome Daria Morgendorffer. Daria, raise your hand, please,” Mr. Anthony DeMartino said.
Daria raised her hand.
“Well, Daria! As long as you have your hand raised... “ Mr. DeMartino chuckled. “Last week we began a unit on westward expansion. Perhaps you feel it's unfair to be asked a question on your first day of class.”
“Excuse Me?” Daria asked, nonplussed.
“Daria, can you concisely and unemotionally sum up for us the doctrine of Manifest Destiny?”
“Manifest Destiny was a slogan popular in the 1840s. It was used by people who claimed it was God's will for the U.S. to expand all the way to the Pacific Ocean. These people did not include many Mexicans.” Daria said, concisely and unemotionally, albeit with rather thick sarcasm.
'Wow, that is concise,' Jennifer thought.
( Mr. DeMartino was surprised. )
