Terry Perry's Musings: 1st Draft of Champ Victor
Prof. Tulley's Prompt: Write third-person POV prose about a despicable, vile character. Not a cartoonish supervillain, but someone who can exist in real-life. Explore him or her. Base him/her on anybody you know and make an attempt to understand this character and his/her deeds. This can be an exercise in writing unreliable narrators. This draft will be conceptual. It will take a few drafts to perfect a challenging premise.

Terry's Unpublished Opinion
An article by a guest writer laid among the files of unpublished submissions to the "Campus Roar" Opinion page. Submitted three days after the Campus Roar publication of the "Cute-Ma-Kappa" front page article, the article attracted much of the staff members' eyes, inspiring them to jeering snickers, uneasy chuckles, silent guilt, or just mere apathy.
A majority of the staff deemed it unsuitable for publication for reasons best left to private conjecture.

Epilogue: The Salesmonster's Diploma
As Don climbed upstairs into his first night in the Squibbles household, he thought about the only empty bedroom, containing a bunk bed for two. Don was curious to think of the one or two Oozma(s) who will join the family. At least for now, the vacant room for two can wait, for the O.K. family was complete.
Dragging his trunk into his room, Don was welcomed by the photos of his family that he hung earlier weeks ago.
And Don had not forgotten about the white package in his trunk. He pulled the package out. It contained a box of Mochi candy shipped from Kapan, his belated Holiday gift for the hostess of t
Chapter 15: Post-Initiation
Don wanted to pat the Perrys' back after what they had been through. After the final knighting with the O.K. paddles, the initiation left the Perrys wracked with shock, each of their eye wide and unflinching, their lips glued in a straight horrified frown, and their tentacles stuck to the floor. Terri shivered, his neck wobbling, while Terry was stiff like a teeter-ball pole.
"MOM, we're done!" Scott shouted and on cue Ms. Squibbles bust through the basement door, not bothering to flick on the lights, and clambered down the stairs with a camera. Scott and Art pulled the shocked Perrys to the center of the basemen
Chapter 14: Initiation
At the start of the Holiday, practicality drove Don to have second thoughts about selling his apartment. So he contacted Ms. Squibbles once to clarify that he wouldn't exactly be a permanent resident in her household. It was appropriate that his Emeryville apartment would serve as a holiday, summer, weekend home like the way on-campus resident students visited their home on weekends. The only difference was that Don would be coming home to loneliness, not family (with the exceptions of his occasional visits to Ma' Carlton's home, his childhood home, downtown Montropolis), on those weekends and holidays.

At that revelation about Ms. Squibbles, Don luckily swallowed his cocoa before he could spit it out.
"Missus, you studied Scarin'? Why, you are filled to the brim with surprises."
Blinking at his flattery, she continued, "I attended M.U. when Hardscrabble was teaching, before she became Dean."
"What became of your dream?"
"My dream? Not quite, my parents' dreams, actually."
"Pardon me for assuming."
"It's all right... after all, I suppose it was a dream. Sorta." She sunk back. "Scaring, I had to tell myself I wanted it, even though my parents wanted it first. I mean, yes, great income and not to mention,

Docter makes the courageous decision to not notch up the "stakes"…
Granted, walking into the film and having viewed the filmed Broadway production with Bernadette Peters, I knew it wasn’t my top favorite Sondheim musicals. I certainly liked it.
I felt I was more into the story than the actual characters. They’re all played and casted well, but a little too archetypical, even if the songs were composed to accommodate for their pathos (this does depend on casting and direction in the stage medium). And it’s not a too adaptable stage musical into cinema considering that Sondheim’s songs are very lyrical expositional and tend to be more of the driving force than the staging. It does have
