This line from the song reminds me of the beginning of Sonny's Blues. He is using heroin and gets thrown in jail for it. He then realizes that he "need[s] to jump in the cold water" and change his life style. He needs to come clean, find a hobby, and get his life back on track, which he does by music. He becomes "bold" and takes the reins in the song at the end of the book, which signifies that he has gone swimming in the frigid water, woken up, and is ready to start fresh.
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.
