Chapter 20: What Happened to Candide When He Visited the Acclaimed High School of Diamond Bar. While walking on the finest cleanest pavement, Candide knew he had arrived at the one place every human being wants to be every day. "Diamond Bar High School", they called it. Never has he seen such a beautiful sight! The buildings were so beautifully built, and a multitude of smiling and laughing children littered the campus ground.
It was at the crack of dawn when Candide followed some students into what he later found was an “AP Biology” class. As he looked around, there were many nodding heads. It was so refreshing to see the students agreeing so enthusiastically. This certainly proves that …show more content…
“It’s time for lunch!” the teacher announced. Candide was quite confused, as the clocked seemed to read 11:00 PM. He was very impressed with the teacher’s tremendous analytical proficiency, for she could figure out what time it was, even though the clock was clearly not accurate. As the loud and droning sound of the bell rang, all the children ran out of the classroom as soon as they could. “How fantastic! I can’t wait to taste the mystical delicacies of Diamond Bar High School!” Candide fought his way through the crowd, but eventually reached the lunch line.

It was lunch time, so he was quite perplexed that they were not enjoying the scrumptious delights Diamond Bar High School has to offer. “Hello, is the Diamond Bar High School food so delicious, you have gobbled it down already?” The children simply stare at Candide, then continue to talk about their SAT and how their self-worth is measured by their scores. Candide thought what they talked about was strange, but he admired how affable they were toward each other. These intelligent beings abbreviate their complex language, such as complicated vocabulary from “TTYL” to “LOL”. This enforces exceptional literary strength and further improves communication skills. Unfortunately, writers of the past were never as brilliant as the Diamond Bar High School children to think of
