Good luck everyone, I will be thinking about you all as I turn the page and hopefuly see a good question!

thomasjmaccoll · 12th May 2005, 01:04 PM

if there is anything along the lines of "write about a play where [SOMETHING ABOUT THEME WHICH COULD BE LOVE/FATE]", i'll be fine

or "write about a poem where the main subject is the author's anticipation of his first son being born, and the emotions he goes through when it becomes apparent that his son has Down's syndrome." somehow i don't think i'll get that though...

Well, that question did come up last year (y)

(fuck. i'm admitting to the world-wide-web that i failed last year. shit.)
i bet it was just because i couldn't answer the question on the author's anticipation of his first son being born, and the emotions he goes through when it becomes apparent that his son has Down's syndrome.

Rebelius · 12th May 2005, 01:51 PM
