Confused,I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice,I slowly raised the report I had slaved over,hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?” Quickly,I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple:go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country,I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow,it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen,wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice;flip(掷) a coin. Heads—the commander,and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails,my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter,George Washington Carver. Weeks later,standing before this unfriendly mass,I was totally lost. Oh well,I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk,burning to find out what I had done wrong.
