Yes, I am resorting to short stories to get caught up. But who cares! I will get back on track this labor day weekend if it kills me!
So. The Secret Sharer. Uh. Well, first off, I've read this before. And I think it's interesting and well-written and a compelling story and all that, but I can't enjoy it. Until I am a much smarter person I will never enjoy it, because I know there is a deep meaning that I'm supposed to get. I know I've been told or have read about this deep meaning, and I remember thinking that it made sense and was great and blah blah, but I just can't remember what the meaning was. I really am trying, too. If the writer has some Great and Powerful theme they want to get across to me, it has to be of the giant brick wall right in the way variety, not a tree root in the jungle that I might trip over but probably won't.
CONCLUSION: It's probably for the best that I went for art instead of English. I would have really almost enjoyed this if I hadn't known I was missing, like, the whole point.
