JUST FRIENDS

by Me


Many of our friends automatically
assume we are lovers,
and often I sense their
unjustified envy.

So obvious are the
bonds of intimacy we share that even
strangers assume the same.

And before the public
we receive the smiles that
are reserved for lovers.
And we are afforded
understanding nods of encouragement or,
at the least, approval.

If the truth were made known -

Yes, we have copulated a thousand times.
Through the mind and the emotions the rapport
we have is an esthetic, creative and
pure kindred experience that challenges
most of the conceptions
formulated by those
who can not comprehend
what we share together.

If the truth were made known -

We have never made love
because we are just friends.
And because we are friends
we are always in love.

(Yes, men and women can be friends.)

Which is your favourite book of his?

Do you think that 'Decline and Fall', his first major novel, was his best one?

Which of his works would you recommend?

I worte this one when I was 8 after my mom died
Right now I don't care
Nothing matters
a big piece of me is dead
gone, but not forgotten
everything in me feels rotton
the smiles
the laughter all will be missed
the times I felt down and was brought up by your kiss
I say good-bye once and for all
I will never forget you mom
and I will try to stand tall
I love you mom

I wrote this one just today (I'm 14)
Snowboarding
The feeling I get flying through the air
To some it's just a big scare
But to me it's what I live for
I am constantly craving for more
It is the best sport ever
It is snowboarding that I endeavor
and it will be remembered forever

Both of these were written by me: Aubrie Marie Gribble

A couple months ago Stewart had a guest who was a Canadian citizen on his show. He was an author, and he had a book, but I don't remember the guy's name or the title of the book. I remember the cover was red with an electrocution chair on it, and the guy made some jokes about applying for US citizenship. Like how they ask if you were a procurer (Procure my ride...) and if you were in the nazi party.

Anybody know the author or the title??
Thanks!

When someone has a question about a book, someone always has the bright idea of sending them to SparkNotes. As a teacher, I think most students already know about all those sites, and they have already been told by their teachers to avoid them (yes, claiming someone else's ideas as your own - even SparksNotes - is plagiarism).
I think the people with questions just want help in understanding the novel, so they can form their own opinions. I’m not even going to address those people who suggest reading a notes service in lieu of reading a book, but I would like to know if the general public really thinks it's a good idea to let the authors of sites like SparkNotes form our understanding of great works of literature.

Would you live in one of those fictional worlds or would you choose to stay in ours? This would not mean leaving the life you know, it would just be like you were born in that world.
If it were me I would probably choose Middle Earth (From the Lord of the Rings).

Principle Marlene Jahowski sat behind her desk, massaging her temples. Four adolescent girls sat in front of her. All different. Yet all friends. And all in trouble. “Girls….” She began in a shaky voice. The woman was forty years old, her brown hair was graying, and her pale blue eyes were stressed with seeing far too much injustice in the middle school education system. Trying to dodge the task before her, Marlene took a look around the room. Her office was about average sized, a window on the back wall that overlooked the driveway of the private school. The green carpet was old and had coffee stains from that morning, when she had heard. The file cabinets on the wall were fairly new, with pictures of her with her only son Edward atop them. Finally turning to the girls that were occupying the only other seats in the room. She decided to address them one at a time, for all the teens were in trouble for different reasons.
“Valerie, I realize you are at the center of this.”

Have you ever read Gone With The Wind? I'm 14 and I read that back in September. That's a 1,024 page book and I finished it in 19 days. Do you think that's pretty good for a 14yr old? I thought that was a pretty good book.

Is it possible to criticize the bard or does he "bestride the narrow world Like a Colossus".

Is everything he did that good?
