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..

Jump off the Cliff Notes
"Warning! 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.
