March 25, 2018 Educated (Jocelyn’s Pick)

Discussion:
Jocelyn- It was well written. Crazy and scary to know people are still being raised in families like this. Thanks to the teachers of the world who push us to find ourselves. Would recommend to certain people. 3.5/5
Maren- Weird that parents don’t know how old she is. The mom was nuts. Would recommend to certain people. 3/5
Julie- Did not like it. Intriging but too wordy at times. How much of this is even true? Would not recommend. 2.5/5
Ali- Intrigued and maddened at the same time. Would I leave? Think I would! Writing well done. A little jumpy between present and past. Would recommend. 4/5
Meriah- (absent) Loved it. 4/5

Favorite Characters:
Jocelyn- Princess Peak, Tyler, the Teachers
Maren- Tyler
Julie- Tyler
Ali- Tyler and Grandma down the hill
Meriah- Tara

The past is beautiful because one never realizes an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don’t have complete emotions about the present, only about the past. -Virginia Woolf

That moment just before night sets in, when the landscape is visible only as darkness and lighter darkness, and you feel the world around you more then you see it.
