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.

Zachary's Post
I really have no idea what Mansfield meant when she wrote this passage, but, if I had to hazard a guess, I would say that Laura is thinking that life must be incredibly wonderful or "marvelous" for a dead man of all people to be smiling. When she says "it was marvelous" she wasn't strictly talking about life but the this sort of epiphany would have seeped into everything so that even the dead man would appear more peaceful than usual, and his smile would become marvelous. It is a somewhat roundabout idea but I think that we can all say that at one point or another our thoughts have been backward like this.
