He stared at me. "You barely know how to read and you have decided to become a great writer?” he said to me in a voice full of shock and arrogance. I'd finally had enough of him. "Yes!” I bellowed, going into my wrestling stance. "I don't know how to read, and I've decided to become a great writer-WHAT OF IT?”. (Victor Villaseñor)
