Under the yellow study lights we read our Hardy assignments...Outside there was a rustling early summer movement of the wind; the seniors, allowed out later that we were; came fairly quietly back as the bell sounded ten stately times...Then lights began to snap out all over the school." - pg. 20]]> 2021-02-04 17:06:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lantzoulis/47fypvg77eh0ikzx/wish/1164879463 https://padlet.com/lantzoulis/47fypvg77eh0ikzx/wish/1182143515 The last words of Finny’s usual nighttime monologue were, “I hope you’re having a pretty good time here. I know I kind of dragged you away at the point of a gun, but after all you can’t come to the shore with just anybody and you can’t come by yourself, and at this teen-age period in life the proper person is your best pal.” He hesitated and then added, “which is what you are,” and there was silence on his dune.
It was a courageous thing to say. Exposing a sincere emotion nakedly like that at the Devon School was the next thing to suicide. I should have told him then that he was my best friend also and rounded off what he had said. I started to; I nearly did. But something held me back. Perhaps I was stopped by that level of feeling, deeper than thought, which contains the truth.

Preserved along with it, like stale air in an unopened room, was the well known fear which had surrounded those days, so much of it that I hadn't even known it was there."

I was thankful, very thankful that I had seen it. So the more things remain the same, the more they change after all-plus c’est la même chose, plus ça change. Nothing endures, not a tree, not love, not even death by violence.” Page 14]]> 2021-02-09 13:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lantzoulis/47fypvg77eh0ikzx/wish/1182144487 avazino24 https://padlet.com/lantzoulis/47fypvg77eh0ikzx/wish/1182144778 “ It was partly his doing.  The Devon faculty had never before experienced a student who combined a calm ignorance of the rules with a winning urge to be good, who seemed to love the school truly and deeply, and never more than when he was breaking the regulations, a model boy who was most comfortable in the truant’s corner. The faculty threw up its hands over Phineas, and so loosened its grip on all of us.”

This kind of sunshine and ocean, with the accumulating roar of the surf and the salty, adventurous, flirting wind from the sea, always intoxicated Phineas."

Some tips of branches snapped past me and then I crashed into the water." 
(Explanation: this stuck out to me because it truly described what the experience of the "jump of freedom" and it reminded me of the word "ethereal". The picture resembles an almost dream like sequence and that moment of tranquility before someone hits the water when jumping.)]]> 2021-02-09 13:59:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lantzoulis/47fypvg77eh0ikzx/wish/1182146379 katelynradcliffemorgan24 https://padlet.com/lantzoulis/47fypvg77eh0ikzx/wish/1182146494 Katelyn ]]> 2021-02-09 13:59:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lantzoulis/47fypvg77eh0ikzx/wish/1182146494 maribelmartinez24 https://padlet.com/lantzoulis/47fypvg77eh0ikzx/wish/1182149845 "Perhaps

Picture explanation: I think in this moment Gene thought of Finny as something otherworldly because in his mind there was no one who could be as perfect as Finny and still be real.  Even though at times Gene is envious and a little hostile towards him in his mind, it all boils down to the same unconditional admiration.]]> 2021-02-09 14:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lantzoulis/47fypvg77eh0ikzx/wish/1182196263 https://padlet.com/lantzoulis/47fypvg77eh0ikzx/wish/1182197575 “We got our bikes and slipped away from Devon along a back road.”]]> 2021-02-09 14:08:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lantzoulis/47fypvg77eh0ikzx/wish/1182197575 katelynradcliffemorgan24 https://padlet.com/lantzoulis/47fypvg77eh0ikzx/wish/1187756739 "I should have told him then that he was my best friend also and rounded off what he had said.
