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.

Wendell's Post

I agree with Caroline. Her story is just like "How to be Colored Me" by Zora Neale Hurston. Zora was black, in a time of African American abusiveness and hatred. She wanted to blend in with everybody else, to be like them, and act like them. Ms. Olsen wanted to blend in with everyone else, too. She wanted to have friends and be liked, but she was abused and ganged up on. As Caroline said, "they were not like other kids."
