Last Topic of the Year, due by Sunday, June 7:

Perhaps its time to pick out some favorite memories of Pine Point. Let us know about three (or two, or one, or fifty) of your fond memories of your time at our school. Don't worry about choosing a favorite. Just describe a few good memories. (Feel free to do more than one post as memories come back to you.)

Remember to check the rubrics (to the right). Contributions to the forum can be brief, but must be well thought out and carefully written. No typos or grammar errors, please.

"[It is all gone. It is all gone.]"
This quote seems redundant at first, but is some of the most powerful parallelism that I have ever read. Dexter was talking about the images that he knew when he was a child, and how he can't picture them anymore; he had lost his "Winter Dreams". The one particular image he had forgotten was of Judy Jones. After Devlin told him about how she looks now and refers to her as "Ms. Lud Simms", Dexter could not recollect Judy Jones the way he knew her. Dexter finally realizes his most loved "winter dream"-Judy Jones- "[is all gone. is all gone.]"
