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.

Scarlet's Post

I think that Ms. Olsen's story reminds me most of Winter Dreams. When Ms. Olsen knew that she was gay it was a lot like when Dexter found Judy Jones. He knew his life was going to change forever and so did Ms. Olsen. When Dexter loses Judy he is so upset and he can't express his feelings anymore. When Ms. Olsen went to high school if she told anyone she was gay the would have hurt her, so she couldn't express herself. Lastly, Ms. Olsen lost touch with her family and no longer talks to them just like Dexter does with Judy. Dexter does have his own wife and kids and Ms. Olsen has her good friends that support her but she still carries around those names and awful memories of kids beating her up just like Dexter will never forget Judy Jones.
