I was in AP English for my last two years. I got to read stuff that most people don't, but I missed out on a lot that everyone else read.

Of Mice and Men was Jr. High....

You have to remember America is getting dumber. :lol

It was in high school for me too. So was To Kill a Mockingbird, a Tale of Two Cities, and just one or two other classics.

I somehow missed out on Animal Farm and 1984 in my Honors English classes :dunno

Man, by the time I got to high school, I breezed through advanced lit with Beowulf, Shakespeare (Titus and MacBeth rocked) and then by senior year, I was reading whatever I wanted for credit, from the Bounty Trilogy to Steven King. :lol Creative writing sucked wide open *** though - an essay every other day. :(

My last two years of English classes were specialty classes.......Science Fiction, Mythology, Poetry, Story Writing. I preferred that to straight up English classes.
 
That must have been nice. Poetry was part of most of my classes, and they offered creative writing when I was a senior. Everything else was pretty much academic.

Hmm. Junior high...Johnny Tremaine, Animal Farm (read it again senior year in AP British Lit.), lots of S.E. Hinton, To Sir With Love...can't remember much else.

High school, I remember (in no particular order) Romeo & Juliet, Julius Caesar, Antigone, Oedipus Rex, The Iliad & The Odyssey, Macbeth, Hamlet, The Great Gatsby, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Fountainhead, Great Expectations, Crime & Punishment, The Importance of Being Earnest...

I also recall that I didn't read a lot of stuff I was supposed to (Keller, Wharton, Bronte, Austen, Hemingway). Maybe it was one of those.
 
One of the reasons that it reminded me of Of Mice and Men was because the referenced Steinbeck in a previous episodes. Plus, that "Look at the flowers" business reminded me of George trying to put Lenny in a happy place (ala the rabbits) before putting a bullet in the back of the head. (as it has been mentioned by a few people before)
 
sorry but I really have to ask now.. is there a reason why you always post in bold brown letters ?

I've noticed that some of the other girl members in the forum use different colors too, So when I noticed Ween doing it I used to think it was a way to tell if the poster was a girl or a guy :dunno
 
I just found an awesome easter egg in season 2. When Darryl pulls out Meryls stash of drugs from his motorcycle to give to Tdog for his blood infection, there's Heisenbergs famous blue meth in the bag.

Thought I'd share. Sorry for the crappy pictures

I remember seeing that on facebook when that season was airing

Yup. Ooooold news. Unless you just discovered it, then it's NEW old news. :yess:

I wonder how BrBa fits into TWD universe. Shortly after Heisenberg's death is when the zombie outbreak begins? :dunno :lol
 
I actually just discovered I myself on my own.
I don't have facebook nor that I ever used Facebook so I wouldn't even know about it so blah
