“With school turning out more runners, jumpers, racers, tinkerers,
grabbers, snatchers, fliers, and swimmers instead of examiners, critics,
knowers, and imaginative creators, the word 'intellectual,' of course,
became the swear word it deserved to be.”
I think Ray would have a few more things to say about how to teach literature in the classroom. How many of you have read one or more of his works?
I loved "Fahrenheit 451." RIP Ray Bradbury
ReplyDeleteThat is my favorite, but I've also read "Something Wicked This Way Comes."
ReplyDeleteI've never read that. What's it about?
ReplyDeleteIt's a fantasy/horror story involving two 13-year-old boys and a mystical traveling carnival that comes to their hometown. The leader of the carnival is basically a slave driver who employes several unwilling people, and the novel is largely centered around the battle between good and evil.
