Thanks for sharing it. <br /><br />While I don't agree with everything the author said about the study of literature, i know I read and write to make sense of things and to slip into the shoes of others. Can we teach those skills? I tend to think characters in the books we connect with do the teaching, but I owe much to the teachers who pressed books into my hands, assigned them, or put them on summer reading lists, knowing three-quarters of the students wouldn't read everything on the list. The list was a gift for the other 25 percent.Pat O'Dea Rosenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18221195882816387110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140630815526406811.post-43172938602699918782013-07-15T17:32:57.185-05:002013-07-15T17:32:57.185-05:00Hi, Sheila,

He cringes when I put on my walking sandals although he admits they're excellent for hiking on hot days. He cheerfully goes along on important shopping trips and ruthlessly critiques in the dressing room. Unfortunately, he also encourages me to try on and buy more upscale and extravagant items than I would on my own--as in Prada boots and a Valentino jacket/pants ensemble. Still, the things he picks out are usually my favorites.Lark Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13363455770588651569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140630815526406811.post-6040772032678921792013-07-11T11:51:07.612-05:002013-07-11T11:51:07.612-05:00Well, I was watching a rerun of a Bee Gee's co...Well, I was watching a rerun of a Bee Gee's concert (which I was enjoying immensely) on TV recently and received contemptuous glances from a younger nephew and other looks of bewilderment and general disgust.<br /><br />I used to make fun of my father for watching Lawrence Welk and I still get "sick" when I see some of those reruns on Saturday night cable T.V. <br /><br />I still enjoy "Saturday Night Fever" and of course, the music from the Bee Gees that's in the movie!<br /><br /> - PatrickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
