Why English 156 Wasn't Easy, Part V

"Why is it that no one ever agrees with me?" I finally say in frustration. As a class we discussed a story about a woman who whored herself out to a friend to catch a ride across a river in order to visit her lover (and after she confesses her indiscretion to her lover, he cruelly and promptly rejects her).

Earlier, I called the whole essay "slut shaming."

"That's a good thing," my instructor replies to my question and my obvious, growing irritation, smiling.

I can't tell. Is he smiling to me or to the rest of the class?
