Zihad Amin AP Language and Composition/P2 Mrs. Spencer March 17, 2014 D/C Timed Writing The three types of acquaintances in the class are the spirited and outgoing, the isolationists and loners, and the staff. More specifically it would be ASB and the athletes, the gamers, and the faculty here at Oxford. The spirited and outgoing are the ones I expect to see most often because that is what they do and how they are, they want people to take notice of their presences. This can also make them very annoying as people don’t like people that are standoffish and flaunt themselves. For example, ASB and Key Club are the most prominent clubs on campus, and they are the ones that host rallies or car washes, and let people know who they are. These people have no problem telling you who they are and why they’re here. The athletes are a little more quiet, but they flaunt even more, they are the best at the sport they play and want people to know just how good they really are. These are probably the most annoying type of acquaintance. The second type of acquaintance are the isolationists and gamers. People will hardly hear these people speak because they love in their fantasy lands of dragons, magic, mystic, and wonder. They are perfectly fine by living in a screen because sometimes it is all they have. For example, here, there have been competitions of games that you didn’t see athletes of ASB going to because that is not their thing. There are plenty of kinds that enjoy being alone and reading a book or eating their food. Just because these people are usually alone doesn’t mean they don’t
have friends because isolationists group together and so do the gamers. This type of acquaintance is not the loudest group by far, but they get by by being quiet and away from the general public. The final type of acquaintance are the staff. They neither project themselves nor isolate themselves. They have a job, and that is to be there for the student body and guide them on the right path. Whether you are the spirited, outgoing person or an isolated one, a staff member will help guide you regardless. The staff members are the few people that you see every day. Unless a student is very close to you, you wouldn’t seek them out every day, but there are always teachers and custodians around to say “hi” to. Of either the acquaintances, the teacher teaches, and they want you to learn. However, a teacher can embody both types of students. They can be fun, outgoing, or even annoying but there are moments when the teachers are nowhere in sight because even they need breaks from students. In conclusion, the dynamic of my acquaintance fall under the spirited, the isolationists, and the helpers (staff). Each dynamic has its perks and its faults. But that is what makes life so interesting, the differing dynamics of everyone.
