postscript

I came across a great website several years back called Storycorps. Their aim is to tell every great story that an American has to tell. The original author tells his story and then this story is set to animation. It's a great website, one that I recommended. One particular story reminds me of a poem we studied in Unit One. Thought I'd share it with you here as time did not allow for it in class.

Happy Weekend!
