A Student's Inferno

            Inferno is the first part of Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem Divine Comedy. It is followed by Purgatorio and Paradiso. It is an allegory telling of the journey of Dante through Hell, guided by the Roman poet Virgil. In the poem, Hell is depicted as nine circles of suffering located within the Earth. But it can also be depicted in other forms, just like for a student.

             The first circle would be about bullying. This is where big guys will knock you out with their fists and kicks that will make you go down. The second circle will be about allowance. This is one of the problems that students face and they often ask for, high school students mostly use them for foods, going to gimmicks and buying other stuffs. The third circle will be about Teachers. There are some teachers who are very strict and there are some teachers who are hard to understand to when they teach, which is really frustrating to the students because some can’t learn fast. The fourth circle is about Oral Participation. This is hard because some can’t think very fast when the teacher calls them, so their brain messes up with some other information.

              The fifth circle will be about Homeworks or Assignments. This where students panic and cram. Sometimes because they also have other work to do, or they are just plain lazy. The sixth circle is about Quizzes. Quizzes are one of the hardest things to do because if other subjects also have quizzes, the information in your brain will rumble and forget the important things. The seventh circle is about  Projects. Projects are the hardest things to do on free time. Because they are very time consuming and requires a lot of work. The eighth circle is about Periodic Test. This is the hardest thing to do for the whole year. You do it individually without any help. And the ninth circle is about the Final Grade. It very thrilling to know what your average is and find out if your parent/guardian will scold you or not.
