why i'll enjoy writing my french exam

I have a written French exam in about two weeks.
My French lecturer makes France out to be this wonderful, utopian society. And I get the vague idea that he expects us to write essays regurgitating that opinion.

However, for every French exam this year, something has happened to prove him wrong.
Last semester, it was the Paris apartment fires in which loads of poverty stricken African immigrants were killed.
This semester it will be the riots in the outer suburbs of Paris and in other large towns that will squash my French lecturer's halcyon ideals of liberté, egalité et fraternité.

And I will enjoy every minute of proving him wrong.

Hmm.. That reminds me of a French movie called "Liberté, Égalité, Choucroute" by Jean Yanne.
