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
Nobody as talked about this yet, but I thought that Olsen and her talk were sort of like "Soldier's Home" by Hemmingway. I don't have the book in front of me so I can't remember his name, but the soldier and Olsen both had to live lives of deception, putting on false pretenses to make other people happy. The soldier couldn't tell his family or even his comrades in arms about the stresses that had been left with him and the changes wrought since returning home. Olsen simply had to spend fifteen years unable to tell anyone that she was fundementaly different. Was the soldier's name Kats or something with a "K" atleast?
