Considering the number of people here asking for cliffs notes for anything longer than a paragraph, I'm starting to doubt if anyone here has actually read a book. Seriously people, you?re complaining about too much text on a textual forum. My Weekly Reader that I got in second grade had more text to each article than most of these post and some how most of my class read those without too mach trouble. On the other hand, people here have some sort of mechanism in their brains that if they see some thing with more than 100 words they can't be bothered to read it. The ATOT hive mind seems to feel that actually reading something would take away from the community, or take away from precious neffing time, or take away from whatever else might be flashing by. Some times I wonder if you can herd the ATOT community simply by holding up books and watching them flee in terror. Then again, they might all rush in to ask for cliffs notes.
That brings up another issue: Why the hell does everyone think it?s cool to ask for cliffs notes. If your last 5 posts have consisted of something along the lines of ?I?m not going to read that?, ?cliff notes??, ?I went to sleep reading that.?, or anything else along those lines, maybe you should have yourself checked for ADD. Anyway, if the author of the post didn?t feel all of the details were important, he/she probably wouldn?t have taken the time to write everything out. Instead of saying ?Cliff notes?, why don?t you say what you really mean: ?I don?t care what you have to say, Post++?. I know plenty of teachers that would bitch slap you back to kindergarten for asking for cliffs notes for a book, and yet many of you are asking for a summary of a bit of text that?s not even long enough to fill a page in a cliffs note.
Dear god, people! Grow an attention span, get hooked on phonics, go to your local Sylvan Learning Center, do something!! How is it possible that some of you have actually managed to get to, and even graduate, high school when you balk at having to read for even 30 seconds? Words are your friends. If you learn to read them, you will find that they can be quite useful and entertaining. They can make you laugh, make you cry, make you angry, make you sad, make you feel the entire range of human emotions; you just have to give them chance. The written word is your friend, learn to love it?
