Tons. It's all they ever wanted to do. How could I possibly know what the author intended by that phrase? Why don't you ask him? He's dead? Well, then, I guess you'll just have to continue reading to figure it out. Or, maybe, just maybe, it means exactly what it says, and nothing else. Ha! I hated those classes. Absolutely hated them. Can you tell? It's amazing I came out of school still enjoying to read. LOL Gads. Tons. It’s all they ever wanted to do. How could I possibly know what the author intended by that phrase?

Fortunately I had some that were the opposite, and their influence was stronger! I had quite a few teachers who were into butchering literature.

Stick a video tape of a movie in the machine and have a nap while we watched the movie. And in Dutch (mothertongue) we had so many other things to do that we never really did a lot of poetry. There's not much poetry (in the classical sense) that I like or care for. The only poem that I like is the one by Auden (is that his name?), the one that is in 4 Weddings and a Funeral. For me song lyrics are poetry, especially contemporary country songs... Oops wasn't planning on writing such a long post LOL. Have a great weekend, Eva - who's got her first spindle and is hoping to figure it out some this weekend :) None I only had 3 years of english (my third language) and 2 years I had Mr Archer who was very cool and the karate teacher and all the girls drooled all over him… and his way of teaching us english???
