I liked what you could guess about the narrative of the stories from the student's very poor renditions. And I liked the fact the student never really got what your fictional writer was saying.

I like how the protagonist is sure he knows everything and feels he can talk-back to the teacher, when at the end he's the one who ends up sounding silly.
