French Creative Writing

Eager to discover his grades on the most recent writing assignments, Steve rifles through the pile of graded papers for his own, stopping to gloat to Phil Campbell over the 'A' he received on his poem on the subject of meat, complete with a cut-out illustration from the cover of Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Searching the stack of papers further, he finds his second poem, a ballad on the subject of his assault on the world-record high score for the video game, Robotron: 2084, and ascending to the rank of 5th place on Twin Galaxies' websites. Even with additional liner notes composed by Jared Greene, Steve still only earns a 'B' on the opus.
