MS.
PROETZEL'S COMMENTS LAST TIME ABOU PIONEER SYMBOLISM WERE PARTICULARLY INTERESTING.
.
KELLY, I AM SURE THAT YOU HAVE SOME ORIGINAL INSIGHTS.

[LAUGHTER.]
THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S GOOD.
YOUGO ON.
I HATED THE BOOK, ALL RIGHT? I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT'S ABOUT, AND THE WRITER WAS CLEARLY ON DRUGS WHEN HE WROTE IT.
I MEAN, IT WENT ON AND ON AND ON, LIKE IT WAS WRITTEN IN A TOTAL HURRY.
IF I HANDED IN SOMETHING LIKE THIS, THERE'S NO WAY I'D GE A GOOD GRADE ON IT.
I MEAN, IT'S BORING, AND IT'S UNORGANIZED, AND I ONLY READ 30 PAGES OF IT ANYWAY.
WELL, THAT WAS PASSIONATE, ALBEIT ENTIRELY MISINFORMED.
WHO DARES FOLLOW MISS KELLY'S LUCID ANALYSIS, HMM? YES.
WELL, I THINK KIM'S RIGHT.
KEROUAC WAS HIGH ON BENZEDRINE DURING THE 3 WEEKS HE TOOK TO WRITEON THE ROAD.
THE STRUCTURE OF THE STORY ISN'T STRONG, AND HIS EXPERIMENTS WITH PROSE STYLE ARE TEDIOUS.
IN FACT, TRUMAN CAPOTE SAID ABOUTON THE ROAD, "THAT ISN'T WRITING.
IT'S TYPING.
" PEARLS BEFORE SWINE.
WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN? [LAUGHTER.]

HEY, LINDSAY I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.

WHY? DOES SHE WANNA TALK TO ME? I DON'T KNOW, BUT YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING.
SHE'S DRIVING ME NUTS.
SHE'S BITCHING NONSTOP ABOUT HER MOM, YOU, YOUR PARENTS.
I'M DYING.
WHY IS SHE GOING SO CRAZY? SHE SAYS YOU DIDN' STICK UP FOR HER.
I TRIED.
SHE'S STILL MAD.
I KNOW, BUT MOSTLY JUST HER FEELINGS ARE HURT.
OH, REALLY? HMM.

MS.
PROETZEL'S COMMENTS LAST TIME ABOU PIONEER SYMBOLISM WERE PARTICULARLY INTERESTING.
.

YOUGO ON.
I HATED THE BOOK, ALL RIGHT? I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT'S ABOUT, AND THE WRITER WAS CLEARLY ON DRUGS WHEN HE WROTE IT.
I MEAN, IT WENT ON AND ON AND ON, LIKE IT WAS WRITTEN IN A TOTAL HURRY.
IF I HANDED IN SOMETHING LIKE THIS, THERE'S NO WAY I'D GE A GOOD GRADE ON IT.
I MEAN, IT'S BORING, AND IT'S UNORGANIZED, AND I ONLY READ 30 PAGES OF IT ANYWAY.
WELL, THAT WAS PASSIONATE, ALBEIT ENTIRELY MISINFORMED.
WHO DARES FOLLOW MISS KELLY'S LUCID ANALYSIS, HMM? YES.
WELL, I THINK KIM'S RIGHT.
KEROUAC WAS HIGH ON BENZEDRINE DURING THE 3 WEEKS HE TOOK TO WRITEON THE ROAD.
THE STRUCTURE OF THE STORY ISN'T STRONG, AND HIS EXPERIMENTS WITH PROSE STYLE ARE TEDIOUS.
IN FACT, TRUMAN CAPOTE SAID ABOUTON THE ROAD, "THAT ISN'T WRITING.
IT'S TYPING.
" PEARLS BEFORE SWINE.
WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN? [LAUGHTER.]

MAYBE I'LL GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
WHAT ABOUT THAT? YOU THINK I DON'T APPRECIATE YOU? WELL, I DO.
EVERYTHING I DO, I DO TO SERVE YOU.
I THINK OF YOU WHEN I'M STOCKING FISHING POLES, AND I THINK OF YOU WHEN I'M ANSWERING QUESTIONS ABOU CROSS-COUNTRY SKI WAX.
