The Kid Who Sits Behind You Explains

The Lord of the Flies

This is the story of an island. And Ralph. And Jack. And Piggy. They are all flies--giant talking flies. (Kind of like that Animal Farm story that I'll tell you about another time, but without pigs.) These flies get trapped on an island--or maybe in a big jar--and they have to survive so they need to build homes and hunt for other bugs to eat. Then they discover this dead pilot with smaller flies all over it and he tells them to go to Middle Earth where they find Simon, a gollum, with a conch shell he calls "My Precious". Then Jack and a bunch of hunters fight with Boromir and Piggy starts a fire with his glasses and Ralph is elected king and he gets to marry Arwen and they are rescued by a big ship and they all live happily except Piggy who is squished like a bug. (cause he is a bug).

Hope this goes through--I'm reading about six articles simultaneously on the UVic library proxy server right now.

We're talking about your mainland trip, right? Just be yourself--you'll make a good impression for sure. Just think of all the other scary V High types she could be introducing him too.

How comfortable is he with everything? (thinking of how you might go easy on the PDA if he's still adjusting...)
