Excerpt from A Baker's
DozenDavid Matherne
I was the valedictorian tonight. I do know what I'm going to be. I have graduated from Meloncamp High School about 115th out of class of 126. Thing is, I've seen the fear in the eyes of four score and seven more of those classmates of mine that don't have a rat's chance of knowing what they are going to be. I do. I'm going to be a writer. Mr. J taught me more than English. He taught me what Pops taught me before his passing...love.
What is the one thing the speaker claims that "Pops" taught him before he passed on?
A)how to cut pipe
B)plumbing
C)nothing
D)love
