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.

Eleanor's Post
Our talk with Ms. Olsen reminded me most of the essay "How it Feels to be Colored Me". First, both Zora Neale Hurston and Ms. Olsen have the same sort of story. In their younger years they both didn't care what they were like, and life just kept going. However when Ms. Olsen was abused, and Zora Neale Hurston was moved to a new school, they're lives took a change for the worse. Ms. Olsen was hurt with words and fights, so much so that she joined the basketball team to have a reason to say where her wounds came from. Ms. Hurston wasn't used to thenew setting she was in making it harder for her also. However, after school was done, and their real life began, they both emerged different but happy.
