Shit's all sorts of different now.
The firm, who are made to appear as if they're seeking a million dollar payday for getting hundred-dollar checks for battered immigrants.
Yeah, that's kind of how I read it.
Then again, I read "suits" as clothing, not a legal proceeding.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I read "battered" as cooking.
And "payday" as candy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You got a tape player, didn't you msbelle? Because I have a Walkman that I keep around only because it has a radio. (In case of power failures.)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I'm working on a homework assignment and one of the questions is "What do people need to know in order to be a good reader?"
I have no idea how to articulate what I do when I read. So, I'm asking the hivemind. What are your thoughts? What do you need to know in order to be a good reader?
