[ WP ] A college student 's struggle with assignments romanticized through a hero 's trials and tribulations against the forces evil .

Dr. Maliscoffsky pushed a large red button on his dashboard. A small red fire-breathing dragon rose up on a large open elevator. 
 `` What do you plead of me?'' Dr. Maliscoffsky asked. 
 
 `` Write a story with a dialogue as significant in understanding the main character as the line'alas poor Yorick, I knew him, Horatcio,' in in Hamlet,'' 
 
 Dr. Maliscoffsky menacingly rubbed his beard. 
 
 `` Good but no,'' he said. 
 
 He pushed another red button on the panel of red buttons in front of him. The open elevator went down. It returned a few minutes later, empty. He pushed another button. This time a gruesome harpy rose up on the open elevator. 
 
 `` What do you plead of me?'' he asked. 
 
 `` I plead of you a story that represents a different story,'' 
 
 `` Good,'' Dr. Maliscoffsky said. He smiled, this was a better thing that he had found in a long time. `` Find the hero they call Brian,'' he said. The harpy flew off. 
 
 
 Brian was standing in the middle of a path, on the phone with his beautiful and extremely smart girlfriend. He was surrounded by villagers that had come from the village he had just saved. 
 
 `` Please stay with us, Brian!'' an anonymous voice from the crowd called out, `` we never want to have to analyze another line from Hamlet!'' 
 
 Brian nodded, smiling. He said goodbye to his girlfriend. Then, he turned around to the villagers and said, `` I'm sorry friends, but here I must leave you. I must continue on this journey. Perhaps we shall meet again someday.'' 
 
 The group of villagers screamed like a pack of fangirls. They always did. 
 An ugly harpy flew down. The villagers were captivated; what was Brian going to do this time? 
 
 `` Foul witch-creature!'' Brian called out, `` what do you plead of me?'' 
 
 `` I plead of you a story that represents a different story,'' the harpy said. 
 
 So Brian pulled out his sword and wrote: `` Dr. Maliscoffsky pushed a large red button…''
