The Snows Of Disbelief The Fiction Of Our Times

Ron told me how a newcomer to town had taken a liking to one of the gals in town, which was a friend of his. In speaking to her one day, Ron had unknowingly offended this fellow, who then hunted him down in the middle of the night and beat him mercilessly--beginning with a forceful blow to the back of his head with a 2x4. That rendered Ron unconscious, but the beating continued. Both jaws were broken, all of his ribs, his spleen punctured. He'd been pronounced clinically dead four times during his hospital stay.











I, for one, refuse to dwell on these controversies. Anne Hathaway is lovely, gifted actress, and I am not so much of a purist that I can't abide taking a few liberties with my beloved Jane's life story. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire movie. You truly get a sense of Jane as a person, and it was obvious how much of her life inspired her work. Her relationship with her sister, Cassandra, was portrayed beautifully, the two clearly were the best of friends. After watching the movie, one feels a deeper understanding of her novels, and perhaps more importantly of the era in which she lived and the constraints placed upon women, especially, but also the men of the time. I encourage all Austen fans to partake of Becoming Jane.

Oh big deal, you might be saying. So the characters are different from the game. Surely the fight scenes are well crafted? No Sir. The dialogue?

He beamed with delight. "Oh, thank you! Thank you. I'm going to go get something to eat!" He literally ran to the doors of the gas station. I batted back the forming tears, choked back the swelling lump in my throat, offered a silent blessing on him and drove on to the dorm.

"26 miles." His compassion was incredulous. He actually watched us shop as if we were going to steal something from his store. I went to the car with my coffee. Heather and Brittany returned with the tale of his accusation that their ten-dollar bill was counterfeit. We shook it off.

A friend was once texting while behind the wheel of his girlfriend's car. He pulled up to an intersection, glanced quickly up from his phone, looked back down to finish his text, and pulled forward. His distracted brain had failed to notice another driver at the intersection who had the right of way, and the two pulled away from their stop signs at the same time. The result? A ticket, a wrecked car, and a very upset girlfriend!
