Relationship with Josh:

Josh first had Dr. A during early American literature in which Josh was forced to read Moby Dick. Ever since that class, Josh was amazed at Dr. A's brilliance and command of the English language. "I actually felt my brain getting larger in his class," Josh said. "Then I realized it was just because it was pressed against the brick wall so much."

Josh later had Dr. Alexander for his colloquim class. Josh, despite making a B in the class, still isn't sure why he took the class only now he really doesn't understand why he had to read Moby Dick. Josh's most found memory of Dr. A comes when he was sitting in his office trying to schedule some classes when Dr. Tuman walked in. Dr. A looked at Dr. T and said, "Your book holds the same significance to me as Moby Dick.

"I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult," replied Tuman.

"Genius, yet completely incomprehensible."
