Before O. Henry went to New York and wrote all the charming tales of the City with a surprise ending, he spent three years in Texas as a cowman, and before that was raised in Norh Carolina. What? O. Henry wasn't born in New York? No, he wasn't. And his first book of stories are Texas stories: "Heart of the West." "A Call Loan" is a tale of long time friends having to face a missing $10,000. It's good O. Henry and the language is true to the time and place, because Mr. Porter was of the Texas time and place. And that's a time and place long gone.

That's right, the first 3 day weekend of the new school year came and went. During that weekend Rocket watched the classic "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" and talks about it at length. The movie follows the story of Johnny Depp's and Leonardo Dicaprio's characters as brothers stuck in a small town. 10/10 would watch again. Rocket also mentions an upcoming play reading Acme Theatre Company is hosting that's open to the public for the play adaptation of "A Wrinkle In Time". Rocket reads the description of the novel on the back cover of the book. Extracurricular type things are starting up at DHS and the Speech and Debate team has their first official meeting this Wednesday. Rocket reads from The Psychology Book because his history teacher also teaches psych and sometimes talks about psychology in hisory class. This show also includes some pristine jokes from the book 1001 More Cool Jokes. |
