Enrique (Rickie) Vasquez:
Could I speak to you before class about The Odyssey?
Richard Katimski:
Of course! If you wanna take that donut off my hands, by the way, be my guest. I gave up coffee for New Years and that's kinda taken the point out of donuts. What's up?
Enrique (Rickie) Vasquez:
You know that essay that I never handed in? About what Odysseus wants. Uh, can I get an extension?
Richard Katimski:
Okay?
Enrique (Rickie) Vasquez:
Because I read it. It's about this lonely guy that wanders the world for, like, many years. Right?
Richard Katimski:
Right.
Enrique (Rickie) Vasquez:
And the way that it starts, like, in the middle. What's that called again? I know you told us.
Richard Katimski:
In medias res. In the middle of things.
Enrique (Rickie) Vasquez:
Right. Because, see... um... Right now it's sort of, like, I don't have a place to live.
Richard Katimski:
But... I mean, what happened?
Enrique (Rickie) Vasquez:
But, it's okay. It's gonna be fine. I was staying at my friend Angela's house for a while, and they're really nice. They're this really great family, but in a way that made me feel lonelier. And I know that sounds ungrateful.
Richard Katimski:
No, no, I understand.
Enrique (Rickie) Vasquez:
And see, my uncle... I was living with my aunt and uncle because... it's sort of a long story.
