Congratulations

My uncle is a high school librarian in Maine; at least he is for a few more weeks. He will be retiring soon and, I assume, settling down to write a novel. I look forward to reading and editing it. (Bill, if you are reading this, I am serious. What else do we teachers have to do in the summer?) Anyway, congratulations and please, take me with you. To the sentences. As always, these are from student work and my comments are in (   ).

- The social network has become accustomed to a person using it in their everyday routine. (Warning: social networks are now sentient. Fortunately, they are accustomed to us.)
- Analytical righting (The name of the class is Analytical Writing.)
- Macbeth learns that Macduff was not born from a woman but was ripped from his mothers room.
- Lady Macbeth yearns for complete control over the Kingdome. (The former home of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks?)
- ...for all intensive purposes...
- Macbeth, with a little cohesion on his wives part, agrees to kill the king.
- He continues to listen to the three witches who tell the future in a very twisted manor. (It's where they live: Twisted Manor.)
- She also depicts about the blood.
- In the begging... (I have noticed this one a lot lately.)
- When the audience first meets Lady Macbeth she is trying to take away anything that makes her weak, even her feminist side.
- ...they suddenly come a crossed three women.
- The effects of guilt on Lady Macbeth is that she has a guilty conscious. (And her subconscious?)
- The witches helped in the destroyal of Macbeth and his life.
- Lady Macbeth is a very different kind of woman. (That's the understatement of the semester.)
- [The Macbeths] never spend time together in fun and wholesome ways. (They really needed a weekend at the Scottish Spa.)
- I couldn't see a stage production of Macbeth unless it was a Jimmy Neutron rendition of it.

Here's hoping for one more snow day before spring takes hold. It doesn't look promising.
