"What ees wrrrong with her eh-speech?" Carlos wagged
his head at her. His anger was always more frightening
in his broken English. As if he had mutilated the
language in his fury—and now there was nothing to
stand between them and his raw, dumb anger. "What is

to destroy the teacher?" He mocked Yoyo's plagiarized
words. "That is insubordinate. It is improper. It is
disrespecting of her teachers—"In his anger he had
forgotten his fear of lurking spies: each wrong he voiced
was a decibel higher than the last outrage. Finally, he
shouted at Yoyo, "As your father, I forbid you to make
that eh-speech!"
