Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for June 30, 2020

if only…

Pass the conch…

Verne give RJ one Twinkie for each chapter he reads ! How do we prove RJ read a chapter ?

Where’s the magic conch shell when you need it?

It’s having to read books like Lord of the Flies that make people non-readers.

I read all the time. For example, before I came here, I was reading One Big Happy, and after I’m fineshed here I’ll read Over the Hedge.

It occurs to me, if they assigned 1-2 chapters in the various books that schools force kids to read, instead of the whole books, then let the kids decide if they want to keep reading, kids would find reading more enjoyable. .•°º(that’s the worst run-on sentence I’ve ever posted)

“You wanna get mad, fine, but don’t throw things and mess up all this expensive crap we bought!“

Good book. Not as good as Animal Farm, Brave New World, or Anthem bu still good.

A lot of this could have been prevented if a certain large Orange Person would learn to read.

When I was forced to read Lord of the Flies as a kid I hated it. I should try it again now that I’m a bit older. I won’t go so far as to say more mature. ☺

Stephen King doesn’t know how to write endings

Near as I can tell, the only commonality between the present conflict and LotF is people being stuck together. Reading the book would not have helped at all.

Maybe just the Cliff’s notes then.

Reading involves effort. Thinking involves effort. 2 things 2 many of my students abhorred.
