I'm honestly not sure I read the cliff notes to be perfectly fair. But I tried reading the book and didn't get very far.i was just really disappointed at that cause I thought I was going to like it, based on the premise. That was during high school though. I don't necessarily trust my take from back then but I'm also not going to read that book any time soon so **** it. Go ahead and spoil it. What's the ending?

Alright if you insist.

Piggy was Keyser Söze the whole time.

Every page of Gatsby that I turned was painful for me. What a humph of ****.

This. If you are DM’ing etc, then you are being creepy.

When I was around 20, I worked computer support at a school with pupils in the lower teens. Avoiding 1-on-1 time was basic guideline there for staff who were not teachers or otherwise had no special reason to have 1-on-1 time with a pupil.

One reason was to protect the kids, obviously, but if the friends of a girl of 15 years of age see her coming out of a room with an adult, ideas and rumours could start to live a life of their own even if nothing happened. So it could protect the adult too.

I took this to heart and think people should just follow it in general, in digital lives and elsewhere. Grown-ups who have no business being 1-on-1 with a kid, that's just gonna make anyone wonder. Better to just avoid it.

Humph?

It's like Bogarting. It's a "Humph" because the book selfishly took her time that could be better spent reading almost anything else.

I view it as the Twilight of the '20s. A novel filled with vapid characters, a vapid love story, and a boring plot. At least the Great Gatsby didn't spawn sequels.

So a humph is a Scottish folk monster like a bogart?

Precisely.
