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.

Spoiler for Lord of the Flies ending:
A plane swooped down and brought all the young boys to Epstein's island.

Regarding Moby Dick, one of the funniest moments in my memory is when the captain (or was it the first mate?) ordered the cook to go out and yell at the sharks that were eating at the carcass of the whale they took down.
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.

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.
