Passage
Oskar loved to look through his father's telescope. He was
fascinated by the stars and planets, and on clear nights, his
father would set the telescope up and tell Oskar stories about
the constellations. Then, one night, when his parents were
asleep, Oskar set the telescope up secretly by himself. He
tried to adjust the focus, but when he turned a knob, it broke in
his hand! He was terrified. He put the broken telescope away
and spent the whole night in fear of what would happen if he
confessed to his father. But in the morning, he gathered his
nerve and told his father what he had done. His father was
silent for a moment, then hugged Oskar. "I know it was hard
for you to admit that," he said, "but I also know how much you
love the stars and planets. Let's fix it together so you can learn
more about how telescopes work."

in the story "marionettes inc," in the last line of the story, braling two is referred to by the narrator as the "someone." what does this new identifier imply and how does it add to the drama of the closing scene?

explanation:

the intellectual community is a place like a university where people with high marks, or original thought or an outstanding interest in something gather. they take classes together. they discuss things. they argue sometimes, and not always in a friendly way. but if they argue, it is because they are passionate about something, and there is nothing the matter with that.

lately i've been hearing rumors that it is not the way it was when i went to school. the one thing all schools used to have was free speech. the 1st amendment rights were sacred. now i'm hearing they are not. students can be reported and disciplined for giving an off the wall opinion.

that is shameful.

intellectual ideas are meant to be discussed. they are meant to be chewed up and worked on. that is the primary responsibility of every intellectual community. if that is not the way it is, then that is not a school to go to.

social media, in my opinion, and this is just an opinion. i wouldn't take it too seriously, complicates everything to do with human communication. you can want to share things and others feel they have the right to be very critical or sarcastic or mean about what you share. lack of respect is an immeasurable intolerable condition and social media abounds with that sort of thing.

one of the things i really like about is how careful people are because they must have some idea that the mods are exactly what the word says they are. they police this board very well, and what is so remarkable about them is that they are no older than the average grade 12 student.

my hat goes off to them (which means i respect them quite a bit).
