Preparing for the AP Lit test--reviewing books for the open-essay. Realizing once again just how perfect and beautiful The Color Purple is. Anyone else read it and feel similarly, or dissimilarly

I shall compare freedom to a Cadbury Egg. Sugary gooey goodness is encased in a thin coating of hard chocolate-like substance. You'd think the sugary gooey goodness would be too sweet -- and besides, it has this yellow-orange color in it that is supposed to be like yolk and is actually really a bit gross if you think about it for too long -- but the hard chocolate case somehow makes the gooeyness seem less sweet. So in a way, the hard chocolate case is a tasty dose of freedom, because...um. It contains and enriches the gooey sweetness that is a human self. Yes.
Did I mention that Cadbury Eggs have pretty wrappers?
Do you mean, existence can only be measured by a clock, or that the only thing that can be measured by a clock is existence?
I love uncovering the spiritual atheist in myself/others i.e. yourself. The first part of that qualification being the thing uncovered, I mean.
And I am glad for your Cadbury-Egg-ness. I am glad for my done-with-AP-language-test-ness, which has been followed by piano sounds and news of mass social movements on the rise thank you very much BBC News Correspondents. I am also quite caught up by the stirrings of protest/revolution, however violently I dislike anarchist sentiments.
Either works, although I meant that the only thing that can be measured by a clock is existence. Hmm...does the first one work? I wonder. I suppose existence can also be measured by thought, but then we would have to assume that thought is a common thing.
And oui, uncovering things is often quite amusing. How was the AP test-ness? Or more specifically, how did you do on the AP test? We all know that the ness of an AP test is rather rotten and would look like old sushi were we capable of seeing it.

And also, I haven't yet read The Color Purple.

And does anyone else get the feeling of belonging in all the world/universe as opposed to a particular space and time.
I feel as if I belong in the moment and that the moment does not exist. Only existence can be measured by a clock, after all.
