Hey Duke,

I think you've done a wonderful job here with the speech format of storytelling. Whilst the only dialogue was from Jonathan, you do a good job of showing the crowd's reaction.

> he added to a few laughs from the students.

A nice detail to add. I also liked how you used the few dialogue tags that are there to really characterise how the teacher spoke. What he was doing and so on.

I do just have a few bits and bibs for you though,

> Looks of confusion scattered around the economics lecture hall at Saint Stephen's. "Macro" and "Micro" fit the class,

First: The first bit of this line reads a bit strange to me. I feel like "were shared" may work better over "scattered"? It just feels like the sentence is incomplete, but that could just be me.

Second: using quotation marks ('') rather than speech marks ("") for ""Macro" and "Micro"" may be better. I just say this because you have speech in this piece, so it can be confusing if these two words are actually spoken, or just quoted.

> You have spent this year learning a cold, mechanical, macro view.

And finally, I think telling us that this is the end of the year a bit earlier could help. I assumed that this was a start-of-year speech by the teacher. 'You're about to learn so and so, but always remember this' kind of thing.

It could help if you referenced how far the students were into the course a little earlier.

But as for all of these things, it could just be preference stuff, so feel free to use or not use it.

I hope this helps.

Good Words!
