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.

Timmy's Post
If I had to choose either "pessimistic" or "inspiring" to describe the short story "Sonny's Blues" by James Baldwin, I would call it inspiring. Throughout the course of the story, we learn of Sonny's mishaps and their fathers death, which are most definitely pessimistic, but near the end of the story Sonny begins to see hope at the end of the tunnel. He uses music as an outlet to all his hopes and dreams and fears and sorrows. He shows his brother that he truly is capable of being a good person. Most of all, he inspires us and shows us that no matter how bad your life is, you can turn it around with a little hard work.
