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.

Timmy's Post

In the short story "Winter Dreams", I was confused by the line, "Eighteen months after he first met Judy Jones he became engaged to another girl". It was really perplexing because, even though it seemed as though he was very much invested in Judy, he actually didn't care that much about her. Before that line, I thought that he was completely infatuated with Judy, whereas he does not seem to be. Although later in the book his emotional dreams are completely crushed when he learns of Judy's loss of spirit. So he seems to go back on his word.
