Rhetorical analysis_creative writing

Every student throughout time has analyzed their teacher, professor or teacher’s assistant, or a combination of all of them.  Its human instinct to try and figure out who is good and who they should avoid.  It also is how students decide which teachers they like and which ones they don’t.  I remember doing this to my high school teachers all the time.  During my junior year, my two best friends and I would always evaluate my English teacher for what was going on in her life by the way she would act and teach the class that day.  She was a first year teacher at my school when I had her for English, so she wasn’t a hundred percent sure of what to do.  She was every straightforward at the start of the year but ended up mellowing as time went on.  On the average, she was a happy teacher would loves her job and will sometimes go out of her way for her students.  Now my friends and I hate English, we are sciences and math kids all the way.  Because of this we would often make fun of our teacher.  Partly because she didn’t know how my high school wanted the material taught and partly because she did something awkward that we could make fun of.  By the middle of the year, my friends and I had come up with a theory to explain her mood swings from day to day.  We came up with a theory that her mood was proportional to whether or not she had sex the night before.  We came to this hypothesis because she would often have what is referred to as “the glow”.  My friends knew what “the glow” is better than I did at the time.  If you do not know what this, it is a way that a person acts and talks after having really good sex or sex for the first time.  Teenagers all over the US are victims of having “the glow” quite often.  We had slightly more evidence than the fact that she displayed all the symptoms of “the glow”.  One of our supporting pieces of evidence was that she would always talk about her husband and how they just got married and how happy she was that she was with him.  This made us believe that she was in love/huge crush kind of a thing.  This is a leading cause of “the glow” as well.  Whenever she was in a great mood, she would talk about him nonstop, whereas on the other hand, when she was more upset she would stick straight to the lesson and would be less willing to joke around with us.  My last piece of evidence was that when she had her husband come into class when he wanted to drop something off for her. She got extremely excited and pulled him into class and introduced him with such a smile on her face.  But when he was brought up in conversation when she wasn’t feeling too well, she would hardly speak about him.  My friends and I spent the final half of the year proving our theory and making slight adjustments to it to perfect it.
