will we do when subjects give out? I think
a good idea would be to write on our IA
vorite authors Tell why we like their
writings and which of their works are
our favorite. L guess we all partial
to some of the many writers OF tins ana
past centuries. But as / am a lover of all
reading / find it tedious job TO select my
favorite. OF historical writers / take Ma
caulay; of fiction, Dickens. but there are
so many excellent poets that 1 must say
/ have no single favOrite as / can not
decide between the three-Goldsmith, Burns
and Byron l afraid there are but few
if any who will agree with me as lar as
poets are concerned. Most people prefer
Longfellow or Tennyson; but mann
ma says / am different from every one
else and guess she is about right Ike
the short poems of Burns and Byron Dc
cause they are sad. ] never careu HuVh
for lively poetry. In that respect dlller
from most of persons, especially youhs
folks.
/ hope to hear from you on your favorite
authors but don't care much II no one
is partial to Byron for would hhe MN
