Oh, Kristin, I was also thinking of the significance of setting. Like how many people called "Serenity" the 10th character in "Firefly", or the way the city or a region is significant. I was already thinking this then read the article Ginger linked over in Natter that says something about The South being used as a Stupid Straight Man*, or something to that effect. Maybe a question about whether the setting is very significant, or could the story have taken place anywhere? Or how the story would be different if set elsewhere - rural vs. urban, spaceship vs. sailing ship?
* That is of course as in Straight Man/Funny Man, not as in Non-Gay man.
Now the net-nanny won't let me play any games on facebook. This is craxy.

Healthy~ma for your mom and calm~ma for you, Suzi. Smooches.
The hospital has free wifi, but the net nanny won't me me into Facebook, and now it won't let me into Gmail, either.
I think our net-nanny's have been talking.
I finally figured that when I vpn into work, I can hit b.org - but not facebook. When I vpn, I'm on the work net-nanny who is nicer than the catholic net-nanny

Oh, I like this. That would especially work for some of the nonfiction.
~ma for Suzi and always for Sean and S
Kristin, why not turn the teaching tables on them? Have them describe how they'd teach the book to a class.
I hope you get good mom-news, SuziQ.
