QOW #7

Hola!

I know..this is too much, my being ahead of it all and stuff. I was sitting here thinking...English...History....English....History...hmmmm...then the lightbulb appeared above my big-haired head....

Choose a historical figure, past or present, and tell us what you think he/she would choose to read if he/she entered our class. Your person can pick anything from your six years here, but it must be a piece of fiction. Make sure to tell us why he/she picked that particular book....familiar to self...life lessons to be learned, etc

Question of the Week #6

Hello APers....

I know... I can't believe it either... I actually put up a QOW ahead of time...relax the world is not ending...the polar ice caps haven't melted completely... yet (pause a moment and bow your head for the penguins, people, it's all about the penguins.)

In an efort to be more efficient , I have decided to take on the personality traits of someone who is punctual, practical, and doesn't procrastinate...an accountant. They are no nonsense individuals who file things on time and know exactly where everything belongs...I, on the other hand, lose my train of thought all of the time...Choo-choo!! Dare I dream to change my profession to one where deadlines are strict and exactness is key?

NAH....I'd be bored and I'm pretty sure the IRS wouldn't find my sarcastic wit nearly as enjoyable as you nuts do...yes, McCole, I'm talking to you!

So, this lead me to the next QOW....choose a character from any work we've read during high school and tell me what an alternate career for him/her would be and why. I pick Roger from LOTF as serial killer becuase ...well...he's a wee bit off his block....or he could make toothpicks..tiny little sticks sharpened at both ends...the gift that keeps on giving.

Question of the Week #5

I like big books and I cannot lie...you other brutha's can't deny...when a book walks in with an itty-bitty spine and is rhyming line by line...you get (not really sure what to put here that is even slightly appropriate)....baby got Book....

Yea, baby! I love my books...have a ton of them by the way....some are falling apart I have read them so many times...Macbeth is about to lose it and my orignal Jane Eyre was held together by duct tape at one point...left my Great Expectations out in the rain in Georgia ( hey, y'all!!) while my original copy of Lord of the Flies still has the faint smell of suntan lotion all over it....I bring them everywhere...I would read them in a box with a fox, in the rain on a train, and in a house with a mouse...I would read them here or there, I would read them anywhere....they are like my children...well they would be if my children were quiet...so many to choose...which one do I pick????

With that in mind, if you could only have one book to keep, which one would you choose and why?

QOW #4

Yee-Haaaaa!!

Midterms are over...time to relax! Oh, wait....Sorry but it's RESEARCH PAPER TIME!!!

Yes, it's that special time of the year where everyone starts scrambling to fulfill the paper requirements....where everyone stops acting polite and becomes so crazed that stealing a copy of Great Expectations from a baby is considered the norms. Can you smell the overworked printers churning out page after hot page? Ahhh....let the games begin!!!


With that in mind, let's revert back to an oldy but goody for QOW #4...

Choose a character from any novel and tell me what his/her senior research paper would be titled. Include a brief explanation of the contents.
