Sally: A
'C'? A 'C'? I got a 'C' on my coathanger sculpture? How could anyone get a 'C'
in coathanger sculpture? May I ask a question? Was I judged on the piece of
sculpture itself? If so, is it not true that time alone can judge a work of
art? Or was I judged on my talent? If so, is it fair that I be judged on a part
of my life over which I have no control? If I was judged on my effort, then I
was judged unfairly, for I tried as hard as I could! Was I judged on what I had
learned about this project? If so, then were not you, my teacher, also being
judged on your ability to transmit your knowledge to me? Are you willing to
share my 'C'? Perhaps I was being judged on the quality of coathanger itself
out of which my creation was
made...now
is this not also unfair? Am I to be judged by the quality of coathangers that
are used by the drycleaning establishment that returns our garments? Is that
not the responsibility of my parents? Should they not share my 'C'? (SFX:
the teachers voice is heard offstage [brief unintelligible squawk voice mixed
with electronic static) Thank you, Miss Othmar. (to audience) The
squeaky wheel gets the grease! (exits)
