    Literature Guys...HELP ME!

    Ok ok, I complained like a baby about Pride and Prejudice. But hey, we just finished "My Name is Asher Lev" and a bunch of other stuff that was REALLY good and I scored really well on my tests/pop-quizes.

    Ok ok, so you love me now. I was supposed to read/write questions/teach on the short story by Aldous Huxley (who I already like) called "The Gioconda Smile" So this is tomorrow, that's cool, I've got plenty of time, I get my paper all ready to type up title/date/name all that.

    I go to my bookbag for my book and it's not there. Hmm...ok, it fell out in the car. I go to the car, not there. I MUST have left it in my room then...nope not in my room...

    Then I remembered, I told my friend's 13 (11-12? I don't know) year old sister who's pretty damn smart she could grab "My Name is Asher Lev" from my backpack if she liked because she wanted something to read. Then I remembered her asking to borrow that too...but I was talking to Sara's mother about politics and a card game and I passingly said "yes" forgetting I needed the book!

    Ok ok, so WHAT is the story about, I can't find CRAP on the internet and I've been looking a while, I'll keep looking but I wanted to get this up quick.

    I need to know enough to have 5-7 (meaning 7-8) discussion questions (those I will make up, you worry not oh great literature virtuoso).

    Thank you SOOO much

    AH! Thanks so much! I talked to my teacher, and he said he'd rather not have a halfassed job and would rather spend more time at the art museum so that's where we're going. BUT I won't be able to get the book back for a while so that's GREAT Donny!
    It'll give me LOTS of time to come up with something REALLY cool and creative for Friday's class!!!

    I owe you one Mr. Carlson!
    Petro...I want to fix military flying machines! That'd be COOL! Boring? Tedious? Lots of mechanical stuff involved? Oh I hear how much those jobs suck...but so what...every job sucks...

    Actually, being an A&P (airframe and powerplant) mechanic is a good career. Also, there's some good avionics tech schools (there's a good one in Houston) that will make your services in high demand. I was freinds with a guy in Houston who was an a&P mech for Southwest Airlines, and his biggest gripe was having to work so much overtime. Hey, I know about working lots of overtime, but his OT rate is about triple mine.

    Yes yes yes...

    You'll see modern examples all over. If you end up liking that, try Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut.

    Man I love my lit teacher. he makes me look well read!

    I'm going to look up some about Avionics now...

    It can be boring, tedious, a total PITA sometimes. Quite a bit of mechanical stuff. To tell ya the truth:

    sometimes I hate it (like washing my hands for 10 minutes at the end of the day only to find two new cuts and a mystery bruise)

    sometimes I love it (like when I spent the last 2 weeks rebuilding a CH-47 Chinook rotor head, then watch it roll out; knowing it's squared away)

    The money is good! While I was in the Army I volunteered for every deployment and field exercise. You make good $ in a combat zone! Just watch your six! so you can come home and spend it!

    After spending almost 10 years in, I hired on as a civilian contractor, doing the same job I did in the Army! For a hell of a lot more cash!

    you mentioned avionics: great field! Good avionics techs are hard to come by! You can make upwards of around 40-50K a year with just a few years military experience.

    PM me if ya have any more questions! We have several aircraft mechanics here. Besides Donny and myself, We have BillyGman, Bob Mathis, ...and IK04, Piglet, Pavedriver, and Cruzer are pilots. Prob'ly others I forgot... my bad.

    Oh, well can't help you here. Glad to see you already received the help that you needed. Now if you have some history questions I might be able to help you.
