I need to be more focused in my answers: they want a brief point, one example, short and sweet and organized and tied up with a bow.I talk too much, I guess. I' ( Read more... )

A group acted out the whole story in front of the stage, but I was ( Read more... )

I'm about a quarter of a way through the novel now and I don't really get it. It's very well-written and compelling, but it's not totally clear to me what the point is.
