Meet The Staff - Contact Info. __________________________________________________________ On My End Matt Alberts This week is just going great for myself and the rest of the students of the United States finest Universities. I'm pumping this issue out between finals and study time to make sure that everyone still has a nice dosage of internet sites to look at for a few days. I will inform everyone that there will most likely be no Friday issue due to the circumstances. Next week, I will be here working full time and will be able to start doing all of my writing that I have been putting off. So, while I continue to damage my brain making sure that I know everything that I should, enjoy another Weekly Bookmark.. __________________________________________________________ Out There Art and Literature Jamie Ridenhour Home Page A folk guitarist/singer/songwriter based in Asheville, NC.

JUMP OFF THE CLIFF NOTES is witty, but intentionally sophomoric" is the first thing you read when you arrive. The author AG Cascone provides a sample "study guide" of Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter. We begin with a dialogue between Nathaniel "Peaches" Hawthorne and Herman "Hermie" Melville which provides inspiration for Scarlet Letter. Character assassination follows and then the ABC's of Scarlet Letter. The question and answer section is fun, but the moral of the story is most appropriate and is a great truth.
