There is never, ever only one right way to interpret art, whatever the medium, and certainly not the written word. Art is a shared experience, it means different things to different people, and even if it's not what the artist intended (and Shakespeare's been dead for over 400 years, we really have no idea what he thought), it's still a valid interpretation. Ugh. People like that have no business teaching literature... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyhousemouse Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 hello Sirs and friends Number Two has had this teacher before and she's been like this since day one. He's talked with us about it before, thanks for listening to my rant about it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, so good. Having a coffee break at the moment. Is it weird that my anticipation level for said coffee is through the roof? Speaking of new glasses, I was told mine would take two weeks to be ready which is April 16. I am counting the days... Glad your day is going well, molly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game he is from, Black Desert Online - Remastered, he's an elf. LOL. I didn't realize he was one, until I changed his hair. The game forces Race/Gender on the class you choose, and I chose Archer. Seems all playable Archers are Male Elves. I find it funny, seeing that I love to play elf characters in games that have them, but didn't realize this was an elf class. LOL. Also, Vulcans and Romulans are essentially space elves. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Thorn! Good to see you as well. DnD sounds fun, but alas it's not for me. Today is a no-call Monday for me, so I'm working (badly) on a few other projects to keep myself productive. I feel like one of these days I should just finish a project before I start the next one(s), but what would be the fun in that? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
