Mr. Piekarski,
You left us so fast today! There was no resolve to our class, but I can almost bet that was not without reason since, as rhetoric has shown us, most everything is with purpose. Very clever Mr. P. Way to make us come to your movie showing. I'll have to save my guess for Sunday.
Thank you, thank you, for an amazing class. Your ethos as a professor and as a human being made this class a fertile garden for personal growth and budding. You Sir successfully created an environment that made us/me feel comfortable to speak and to voice our/my thoughts, and if our fruitful, revolutionary, discussions aren't proof enough well then, you're just a horrible observer. Last year I saw you as a very witty, occasionally sarcastic, type of character that knew his material well and got us to learn quickly. But this year I was able to see a genuine warmth in your character that didn't convey with irony but spoke rather in the Vietnamese manner of speech without irony. It was refreshing.
I learned about Vietnam. I learned about Rhetoric. I learned about the Rhetoric of Vietnam, and on another level, I definitely learned a lot about myself in very tangible ways. This will help me on my journey and direction in life. Thank you for this, your advise, your knowledge, and your kindness.
Hmm White Russians. A Big Lebowski thing I'm guessing. I gotta get to them pearly white gates, so I suppose that means I have to see this movie!
