The essay contest is in full swing, and almost everyone who is literate has to put together an article to submit.

In the space of ten days, 5,300 articles poured into the mailbox of submissions.

However, among the more than 5,000 submissions, at least 3,000 can be described as "young", and the vocabulary is obviously not up to par, and people with hundreds of words write thousand-word articles, and the content is difficult to see.

Some of them are even like the "Book of Peace", which is full of nonsense, as if it was randomly generated by a computer.

After seeing these articles, Ma Whistle couldn't help but regret the setting of the essay rules.

Knowing this, he should have only asked for essays from those who had attended senior grades and advanced courses in mathematics and science, but now a large number of people from lower grades and literacy classes have come to join in the fun, which has brought great difficulties to the review work.

Still, he decided to review the manuscript himself.

Although the number of submissions is as high as 5,000, the review is not too troublesome.

First of all, he instructed the submissions to be divided into two groups, one from the lower grades and the literacy class, and one from the upper grades and advanced mathematics and science classes.

For the former, the review speed of Ma Whistle is about ten seconds to half a minute, and it is over after a few glances at the beginning and the end, and thousands of articles are reviewed every day.

This can't help but remind him of the high school Chinese grading in his previous life, although he was a physics teacher in his previous life, he has also seen the scene of the Chinese teacher's assembly line grading, and the speed is the same as his.

Although the thousands of articles in the lower grades are generally not good, there are a few good ones.

It is said that it is not only because the content is really okay, but more importantly, the author.

The authors of these articles in the junior group that were appreciated by Ma Whistle were all children under the age of ten, and although the content was not top-notch, the potential was commendable, so Ma Whistle decided to set up a "special encouragement award" for them, and the prize was a few books.

It took more than ten hours to solve most of the lively submissions, and the rest of the articles should be read carefully.

For the articles of the senior group, Ma Whistle will also read at least half a minute, and some will read the whole article.

Anyone who is allowed to read the whole article can basically get an encouragement prize with a reward of ten dollars.

The review and submission are carried out simultaneously, and there are people who come to submit the manuscript every day, and Ma Whistle also takes time to review the manuscript every day.

As the deadline approached, the number of articles delivered to Ma Whistle every day also decreased.

However, the quality of the article has improved significantly.

These unhurried writers obviously have more patience and have carefully polished their articles.

On December 31, the Apache News Agency's essay contest will end and submissions will be closed.

However, until the evening, there were still people in Sleeping Bear City who were immersed in writing.

A man with a pipe in his mouth, a room filled with layers of smoke, and a paper paper was placed in front of him.

The entire article is written in unusually neat letters, and it almost looks like a printed copy.

There are also many waste manuscripts piled up next to it, all of which are crumpled into paper balls and scattered on the table and the ground.

"Still not eating?" A woman walked in.

The man frowned, his gaze still on the manuscript: "I always feel that there is still something missing......"

The woman came over and looked at it for a moment: "The Great Famine in Ireland - your title doesn't look appealing at all, it's almost like nothing." ”

"And what title do you think you should use?" The man asked.

The woman thought for a moment, then did not answer, but took the quill and added words before and after the title.

The original title was "The Great Famine in Ireland", but the revised title was "Shock! The truth of the Great Famine in Ireland is ......".

The man was a little annoyed: "The words you added are not aligned!" ”

"Why don't you copy it again? It's getting dark, why don't you hurry up and submit? The woman said.

The man looked at the sky outside the window, sighed slightly, took the manuscript and went straight to the billboard, and stuffed the article into the submission mailbox.

After a short time, the soldiers next to the sign tore down the poster to signal the end of the call, and then picked up the mailbox and entered the chief's hall.

"High Chief, High Priest, this is the last batch of submissions." The soldier said.

"Okay, put it on the table." The horse whistle said casually, and at the same time buried his head in writing.

After the soldier left, he took the key to open the mailbox, took out dozens of the contributions, and sorted them out a little.

On a rainy day next to him, he took the manuscript written by the horse whistle and flipped through it: "Thermodynamics...... Is this your new textbook for the Mathematics and Science School? ”

"Yes, but not yet, the students of the advanced course in mathematics and science are not yet capable of learning it." "Strictly speaking, this is a new textbook for physicists all over the world. ”

"All over the world?"

"Yes, all physicists have to read this book written by American barbarians." Ma Whistle said.

He then looked at the last batch of submissions, one of which caught his eye almost immediately.

Shocked! The truth about the Great Famine in Ireland is ......"

Seeing this title, he couldn't help but stare at him, and he felt like he was back in the mobile Internet era in a trance.

On a rainy day, I wanted to ask about thermodynamics again, but I was attracted by the title and started to submit it.

The shock department of U and C is regarded as the culmination of the title party of the 21st century.

There is no doubt that this was a cross-generational invention for people in the nineteenth century, and it was difficult to resist its temptation on a rainy day.

Although Ma Whistle has long been commonplace in his previous life, he did not look at it, but it was the first time in the 19th century that he saw the title of the Ministry of Shock, and he couldn't help but feel fresh and read it carefully.

As it turns out, there is no necessary connection between the title party and the content.

Underneath the pompous headline can still be heavy content, and under the serious headline it can also be bullshit.

This article is typical, although it has the title of a marketing account in later generations, the content is quite exquisite.

It discusses the man-made disasters in the course of the Great Famine in Ireland in combination with the news, criticizes the exploitation of the people by feudal kingship and capitalists, and denounces colonialism.

And the article is very contagious in expression, sprinkled with enthusiasm, like a text.

This stance is very common in Sleeping Bear City, and this is not the most red, and there are also red enough to be described as extreme.

However, it is almost unique that can be written in such a detailed and powerful way.

When the horse whistle and the rainy day read the article, it was agreed at the time: "This should be the first prize." ”

"That's right." The horse whistle nodded, then looked at the author's name, "Smoke." ”

"It turned out to be him." Said on a rainy day.

"How?" The horse whistle was not impressed by this man.

"He was an Arapahoe war criminal, but a few months ago, he managed to read through the Oracle and I set him free," Rainy Day explained. ”
