Anything is Possible…Not

As a child you are told, anything is possible, if you put your mind to it. As we grow older, we realize that is not always the case. Everyone has life goals, yet a very low percentage accomplish their life goals. When children think of life goals, they think of some really outrageous stuff. “I wanna be an astronaut! I wanna be an ice cream man! No wait! I wanna be a ice cream man in space!” according to Christopher Titus, a comedy central comedian, was his life goal. Do I have life goals? Of course I do, I just try to keep them simple and realistic. I have two short life goals, and two long term goals. Short-term goals consist of things that you could possibly do everyday. Where as long-term goals take time, and preparation.

First of all my short term goals, to many people they might seem childish, and simple minded. However a goal is a goal regardless of how small the goal might be. One goal of mine is to write a letter to someone from a different state. As I stated before yes, its a small pointless goal but none the less it is a goal. Whenever I get mail in my mail box I get excited, though most of the time it is a bill. I enjoy receiving mail though, and I think having a penpal of some sort would be a great experience.

A second life goal I have, is traveling back to Madison Wisconsin. I enjoy it so much out there, the city is surrounded by water, the people are so active and lively, the school looks great. I do have a little biased in this goal though, another reason I like Wisconsin so much is because there is an amazing girl there who has seemed to put a spell on me, so to speak. Honestly though I do like the city of Madison, WI. The roads get to be a little confusing, but I have most of the roads memorized now, because the number of times I got lost. Over all though I’m looking to go back, and the first chance I get, I’m going.

Now on to long term life goals, how exciting. My number one life goal is to become a Detective on a police force. As I stated before, kids have really outrageous goals, My outrageous goal is to be a Detective. I did not always wanted to be a Detective though, it sort of just morphed into being a Detective. Which is an interesting thing about “goals” they change, they are always altering into something new. Before I rationalized to be a Detective, I wanted to be a Bounty Hunter. Outrageous.

My other long-term goal is to travel to Japan. I have always been interested in Japan since I was about seven years old. As the years progressed, I learned Japanese culture, I studied Japanese, and watched Japanese shows. To me they’re a most fascinating culture. When they commit to do something, they do it. No matter how long it takes, they continue, and continue.

Goals, are important to life, they give people purpose to live on this dying rock. Without goals, there is no point to live. Humans need motivation, something to strive for. Goals are outrageous, simple, and at times infeasible. I believe I can accomplish my goals, of writing a letter to someone out of my state, traveling to Madison WI, becoming a Detective, and traveling to Japan. Those may take time but, anything is possible, if you put your mind to it… Not.

HAFURSEY () is an inselberg in Southern Iceland. It has a length of and a width of .[1]

Location

Hafursey lies to the north of the black outwash plain of Mýrdalssandur, south of a side glacier of the Mýrdalsjökull, called Kötlujökull.

Shape

The mountain, which is approximately triangular in shape, has some peaks and is also divided into two parts by a gorge called Klofgil. This extends as much of a mountain as a whole from southeast to north-west. The western part of Hafursey is the highest and is called Skálafjall (), to the north is a secondary peak called Kistufell ().[2]

Geology

The mountain was created during the Ice Age and consists of palagonite.[3]

However, it probably does not belong to Katla, but feeds from its own source of magma. One can imagine its origin in one or more eruptions similar to that of Surtsey, but it far surpasses this real island in size. In addition, it was not born in the sea, but under an Ice Age glacier.

After the end of the Ice Age, the mountain was temporarily an island, which is still recognisable, hence the name. However, in the case of an island of a special kind, the numerous jökulhlaups of the Katla repeatedly remade it and contributed to its erosion.[4] Kötlujökull plays a leading role in this, because it has the largest amount of glacier ice and water, which can then be released with a volume of up to 100,000 or even 200,000 m2 / sec. running over the outwash plain.[5]

Agricultural benefits

The land is fertile and good pastureland. For this reason, the farmers of the now abandoned farm Hjörleifshöfði used the mountain as a summer pasture for their sheep.[6]

Accommodation for travellers

In earlier times the main route to southeast Iceland was across Mýrdalssandur at the foot of the mountain, a shelter was built there at the beginning of the 20th century. Previously, travelers had used the Stúka cave on the mountain for the same purpose.[7]

Hiking

Hikers can go to Skálafjall, for example, first following the road track from the hut about to the west and then ascending via an incision, which in a certain way represents the extension of the Klofgil to the southeast.[8]

In popular culture

The area was used for location filming for the 2016 _Star Wars_ spinoff film _Rogue One_.[9]

Gary was a southern bell. He was of average height, a bit slim and full
of dramatic flair. Gary lacked the grace and figure of a woman but
damned if he didn't nail the catty nature. He was always finding
something to be upset about, some bad news to spread to the world. The
sky was always falling, the apple always poisoned. If there was
something to be made of nothing, Gary found it, spun it and made an
intricate web of foreboding and doom. Being the harbinger of bad news
always grabs attention, people hag on your words and ask for more, it
makes you important.

Growing up in a religious, anti-effeminate-men atmosphere wasn't the
easiest childhood, but Gary found strength in the unlikeliest of places.
God was Gary's protector, the only one who loved him for who he really
was. God knew that Gary was more than a squirrelly boy with a southern
drawl. God knew, just as Gary did, that he was more than that, more than
everyone. It was this reason that each Sunday saw Gary sitting in the
front row of his small-town Baptist church. Gary wasn't interested in
making friends at the church, he was polite but he kept to himself,
no-one could know the real God the way Gary knew him, they were all
clueless.

 Flamboyant and fumbling, it was Gary's greatest wish that his outside
demeanor would reflect his inner self. That one day he could be someone
of power, someone who garnered respect from their peers and
subordinates. It wasn't until his early thirties that he achieved his
goal in the form of a promotion. He had made it, he was a manager. Gary
had always worn a suit to work but now the suit was a uniform, now it
meant something. Now when he went downtown, to the main office, he would
sit at the big table with all the other suits and he would belong with
the respected ones. Alas, somehow it still wasn't enough. There was
still someone sitting at the head of the table, someone who all the
suits looked at, whom everyone listened to.

Gary never made it to the head of the table, as a matter of fact, his
job was eliminated a few years down the line and he ended up back where
he started, unnecessarily donning a suit to work and telling the world
about how it was all going to end. Each word he spoke still came out
with the speed of molasses and the twang trademarked to his home state
but there was something hollow about them. There seemed to be something
missing from his words as if they lacked enthusiasm despite the fact
that he said every utterance with just as much drama as ever. Perhaps
his words had not changed but it was his audience that no longer found
him relevant. Whatever the reason, Gary never amounted to more than an
over-anxious, fairy with a God complex working in middle-management and
pissing his paychecks away on suits, and trendy furniture from IKEA.

title: Gary

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Explain why Gary is catty.

answer: He brings bad news to the world, which garners him a lot of attention.

answer: Gary is catty because he enjoys spreading bad news. The more drama there is, the more important and confident he feels. Even though he achieves career success, he is never satisfied because there is always someone else who is more well-respected and powerful than he is. This breeds a nasty, pessimistic attitude that takes its toll on friendships, both personal and professional.

answer:
Gary is catty because he likes to spread bad news to the world. This
gives him the feeling of being important and relevant. Even when his
job is eliminated and his words seem to lack enthusiasm, he continues
to make himself out to be an expert in bad news. He resorts to unsavory
behavior to achieve this feeling.

answer: This is not explained. It may be additional personality trait that he is described as.

text: Gary is catty because he likes the attention.

answer: He likes it when people pay attention to him and what he says. He finds something to be upset about and uses that to garner attention.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarize Gary's demeanor at Church.

answer: Gary attends church each Sunday to protect his relationship with God. He comes off as a dramatic and anxious person.

answer: Gary attends church as a steady practice, typically sitting in the front row and remaining polite but aloof from his fellow church attendees. Gary dresses conservatively in church, typically wearing a suit. The primary purpose behind attending church is to forge a closer connection with God. Despite his outward demeanor, Gary ultimately desires to be respected and acknowledged for who he is internally. Ultimately, though, the audience has become bored of hearing Gary's gloomy predictions and he never achieves his goals.

answer: Gary is both friendly and aloof, keeping to himself. His demeanor could change from moment to moment, depending on God and who might be at the front of the church.

answer: Gary was polite but kept to himself. However, he kept implicating he was one of the strongest worshippers there.

answer: He seems shy and polite.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why wasn't a middle manager position enough to satisfy Gary?

answer: Gary wanted a seat at the head of the table; whereas his job as a middle manager was insufficient to meet this desire. Despite the fact that he was successful in the position, Gary still wanted more. He wanted the power that would come with being at the head of the table, being able to have an impact on the company. This would be motivation for him to work harder and do better.

answer: Perhaps he had expectations of more. His promotion should have increased his salary; however, he did not have more money in his paycheck.

text: The passage does not say anything about Gary wanting more money.

refinement: Perhaps he had expectations of more. He wanted more power and respect.

answer: He was still replaceable, despite the respectable appearance of his uniform.

text: The answer should be more specific about why Gary isn't satisfied.

refinement: He was still replaceable, and does not have the power and respect that he thinks he deserves.

answer: Because there was someone above him everyone listened to instead of Gary.

text: The answer is on the right track, but needs to be more specific about Gary's qualms.

refinement: Because there was someone above him everyone listened to instead of Gary. Gary wants more power and respect.

answer: Gary was never satisfied with his position because even though it gave him authority, there was still someone with more power and respect in the company. Gary wanted to be the focal point for others, the one to whom others turned and he felt he wasn't achieving that goal.

question: Write a ~8 sentence summary.

answer:
Gary was a southern bell. He was of average stature, a bit slim and full of dramatic flair. He was sold short of outside appeal, but his catty nature set in Gary the groundwork for his being important to the world at large. Poor Gary, he had a rough childhood because he did not fit into his family due to his effeminate demeanor.
He sought solace in believing in God. He was at the front row of his small-town Baptist church every Sunday, praying to a God that knew Gary was extraordinary. Gary were focused on making himself the most important person in the world.
He put his life into this goal, until he finally achieved it later in life. Now a manager, he begrudged the manager who sat at the head of the table whom everyone listened to.
Soon, his life was eliminated and he used up all his money to furnish his apartment with and fancy furniture from Ikea.

text: There are too many sentences.

He put his life into this goal, until he finally achieved it later in life. Though he was promoted, there were still people above him.
He resigned to being an anxious middle-manager.

answer: Gary is of average height, full of dramatic flair, and catty. He always has something to be upset about. He likes being the harbinger of bad news because it makes him feel important. He grew up in an anti-effeminate-men atmosphere but found strength through God, of all places. He always wished to be someone powerful. One day, he got promoted but soon figured out that there was a man sitting at the head of the table, and his position wasn't enough to satisfy him. He never made it there. His position was removed a few years later, and he was back to where he started: an over-anxious fairy with a God complex working in middle management, pissing his paychecks on suits and trendy furniture.

answer:
Gary was a southern bell. He was of average height, fairly slender, and at times dramatic.   Gary lacked grace and figure of a woman but he sure nailed the catty nature. He was always finding something to be upset about something bad to spread to the world. If there was something to be made from nothing, he found it spun it and made an intricate web of dread.

Gary's protective shield as a child - only God loved him for being who he really was.

As an adult he worked at the office, and many found Gary's feelings and opinions of the news hilarious. Though he never made to the head of the table or amounted to much in his life, he could always find at least one thing to be upset about and share with the world. The seeds of self-importance he took control at never seemed satiated.

answer: Gary is a southern belle residing in a small-town Baptist church. Despite this strict upbringing, Gary has a love of drama and making a spectacle of everything. He has little grace, but is able to manufacture disasters with ease. Gary lacks success professionally and gradually becomes irrelevant as the years go on. Though he never reaches his dream of being a powerful leader, Gary continues to exist in a perpetual state of anxiety and disaffection.

answer: Gary is a Southern boy who is dramatic and pessimistic, eager to spread bad news. He grew up in a religious environment and had a deep love for God. As a middle-manager, Gary's job was eventually eliminated and his words lost their appeal. Now he has few eager listeners and spends money on stylish furniture from IKEA instead of investing in himself.

ROBERT VALENTINE LAMB[1] (born 11 February 1931) is an Irish jazz trombonist, composer, and conductor. A native of Cork, Lamb lived in London for much of his career. In the 1950s, he played trombone for Jack Parnell, Woody Herman, and Geraldo. After playing for the BBC Radio Orchestra for much of the 1960s, Lamb began co-leading an orchestra with Ray Premru and accompanying recording artists such as Frank Sinatra.

Beginning in the 1980s, Lamb taught music at the Trinity College of Music and conducted national level orchestras, including the European Community Youth Orchestra and National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland.

Music career

Born in 1931 in Cork, then in the Irish Free State, Lamb started on euphonium as a teenager before settling on trombone.[2] In 1951, Lamb moved to Dublin to perform with Neil Kearn's band for six months and later Johnny Devlin's Downbeaters group.[3]

The following year in 1952, Lamb moved to London, England, where he played with Teddy Foster.[4] Next, from late 1953 to August 1955, Lamb joined Jack Parnell's band.[5] After working with Parnell, Lamb relocated to the U.S., working with Charlie Barnet, Stan Kenton, and Woody Herman.[6][7] During his three-year stint with Herman, Lamb played in a tour where Herman shared billing with Louis Armstrong's All Stars.[8]

In 1958, Lamb returned to London to join the BBC Show Band with Cyril Stapleton.[9] From 1958 to 1959, Lamb was part of Geraldo's orchestra that regularly performed at the Hippodrome before freelancing with various other theatre orchestras.[10] From 1960 to 1968, Lamb played for the BBC Radio Orchestra.[11]

He and Ray Premru co-led an orchestra starting in the late 1960s, in which they worked with Buddy Rich, Louie Bellson, and Kenny Clare, among others.[12] Lamb made his first recording as a composer in 1970, _The Children Of Lir_, for which he won an Ivor Novello Award.[13] During the 1970s, Lamb also played in the _Top of the Pops_ orchestra conducted by Johnny Pearson.[14]

He toured with Frank Sinatra on his European tours from the 1970s into the 1980s and the Middle East concerts (Iran and Israel) in 1975.[15] Lamb also toured Europe with Ella Fitzgerald and Peggy Lee. He toured Scandinavia with Buddy Rich late in the 1970s.

Outside of jazz, Lamb wrote several works for orchestra, including an arrangement of _Porgy and Bess_. He also worked extensively for film and television across Europe. Lamb also conducted orchestras, including the European Community Youth Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, and NDR Symphony Orchestra of Germany.[16][17] During his career, Lamb performed in over 6,000 live broadcasts, 200 film soundtracks, and numerous television programmes.[18]

Academic career

In 1982, Lamb was appointed as director of jazz studies at the Trinity College of Music in London.[19] Lamb became professor of contemporary music studies at Hochschule für Musik Detmold in Germany in 1994.[20][21] Lamb retired from his position at Trinity in 2007.[22]

This morning, I felt great. Finally over the awful death of an illness I've had for the past three weeks, I came into work, kicked the snow off my shoes, said "fuck", and proceeded to ruin my fingerprints typing paperwork. (That's really fast, you guys.)

A good day; for once I haven't spilled coffee on my pants, for once I felt good and healthy. So with excitement, I take a bite of my professionally made turkey sandwich...complete with, and I say this with broken tears, Dijon mustard. My favorite. With elation...I bite, I type, I lose focus,

I choke.

I actually choked bad enough that I had to give myself a gritty version of the Heimlich maneuver against my very hard, very wooden desk. With a couple thrusts, a slurry of inhuman noises, I am literally looking at this sandwich...telling it to fuck itself in every forced exhale. As if Death itself was saying, "I'm still watching, bro", a piece of moist bread flies out of my mouth...and on to the floor.

Moist. Bread.

Covered, like my dreams, in off-white diluted Dijon.

Now, this is my lesson to you. Never take for granted your life, for mine could have just ended in a dark basement in Detroit, choking on something I use to soak up soup.

At least, when they found me...my pants would have been without a stain. "Coffee-less..." they would say. "Respect."

answer: The text does not explain it, but it seems like choking.

text: It is incorrectly stated that the Heimlich maneuver is choking.

refinement: The text does not explain it, but it seems like it is a method to expel anything suck in the throat.

answer: The Heimlich maneuver is a technique developed in 1974 for dislodging air, fluids, or foreign objects such as pieces of moist bread stuck in a person's throat. It involves forcefully thrusting one's arm upward under the subject's diaphragm in order to build pressure and expel the item.

NO. 7644 (VR) PUBLIC RELATIONS SQUADRON, ROYAL AUXILIARY AIR FORCE is a unit of the British Royal Air Force. The VR designation indicates the unit's history as part of the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (RAFVR). The squadron's role is to provide Media Operations (military speak for public relations) support for RAF and NATO forces world-wide in times of peace and war.[1] The unit is based at RAF Halton in Buckinghamshire.

History

What was to become No. 7644 Squadron was the 1940 brainchild of Lord Beaverbrook. The government of the time identified the need to keep the public informed about the war, giving the hard facts, but also introducing servicemen and women telling their own stories. It was realised that the reporters covering the stories needed to be guided by people with dual expertise.[2]

Lord Beaverbrook's idea was to find information experts with a service background or interest and ask them to become officers in each of the Armed Forces. Almost everyone approached volunteered and so was formed the first specialist public relations unit in the RAFVR.[3]

After the war, the RAF recognised the benefits of maintaining a small number of journalists in uniform. After being part of other units, these PR specialists became No. 7644 (VR) Public Relations Squadron RAuxAF at the amalgamation of the RAFVR and the RAuxAF on 5 April 1997.[4]

Role

[Ex BERSAMA LIMA 2019 m358]

Media Operations

The RAF has full-time officers serving in communications, notably at No. 7644 Squadron's headquarters unit, Media & Communication Group at Air Command, RAF High Wycombe. No. 7644 Squadron personnel support these professionals whenever required. The role might be to organise a one-off media facility, or provide longer term effort by standing in as a Corporate Communications Officer at an RAF Station, or running a Media Operations unit on a Deployed Operating Base, as for example during the Iraq War.

Using its journalist's skills, the squadron prepares a large number of news releases, 'home town stories' on serving personnel, and video and audio news releases for the media. Often exercises and operations in the Royal Air Force happen at short notice, and in distant parts of the world. Organising a full press trip may not be possible, or affordable, so No. 7644 Squadron can provide the personnel and equipment to gather material which is sent out to media at home for them to make their own stories out of.

Media Training

The Royal Air Force is keen to promote its image, and develop a reputation for being open and honest. To achieve this, officers of all ranks need a range of media training and particularly interview training. This gives them the confidence to agree to interview requests from the media, and be able to answer questions directly in a friendly manner, supported by appropriately trained specialist media staff. No. 7644 Squadron provides a range of media training, supporting units such as the Media Operations Training unit based at RAF Halton, the Joint Services Command and Staff College at Shrivenham, and the Royal College of Defence Studies in London.

'Simpress'

In order to give RAF personnel a chance to experience contact with the media, No. 7644 Squadron officers act as 'simulated' press at exercises, to provide an authentic and robust experience of what it is like to be a subject in front of the microphone or camera. These can be small events, or major exercises involving hundreds of personnel over several days, of which the media and public relations element will only be a small part. An important element is being fair, but robust in questioning, and preparing individuals for what may be difficult encounters with reporters.

Other media and publications

No. 7644 Squadron produces various individual pieces of work ranging from magazines and other publications, to video productions.

When the gas station shut down, Edna spoke up.

It was after a long string of shutdowns...decades ago, the fabric mill, then the supermarket, the hardware store, Bob's repair shop (he retired to Jacksonville), and the last restaurant. Soon after, everything but FastGas. From just shy of 5,000 people, to the last 30 living inhabitants of Dekher, TN. We all hesitated to call it a ghost town, but the boarded-up houses and stores said if the town wasn't dead, then it was definitely undead. Dekher was a zombie town, that didn't know it had died as parts of it fell off and disappeared.

The last unofficial-council meeting was just 5 people. Half the town were packing their belongings into old station wagons and onto utility trailers. There wasn't much left that mattered, and most people were making their last trip to complete their moves to somewhere more important. The council met on two opposite-facing wooden benches in front of the old general store. I was already there when the others arrived, undoing the bolts from the floor under the better of the two benches, so that I could take it with me. My late wife and I had carved our initials on the back when we were 18, shortly before we were married. I didn't want to leave it behind when we all left.

"Noon", Harold said.

"Hey", I said. We were non-committal in our greetings. This wasn't going to start great, or end with "See you later".

A lot of small groups of people start as a community. They move through various phases of friendships and hatreds, and eventually to a complete lack of concern. Old good memories exist alongside grudges; what comes to the forefront of mind depends on the situation, but rarely seem important enough to raise a heart rate.

Edna arrived with Betsy. Betsy drove her husband's old Cadillac and parked it right in the middle of the street, as usual. A dead end town with few cars meant that things didn't need to get complicated.

Leo arrived with a coffee pot and a stack of ceramic cups, washed from the last meeting but stained from many previous ones.

We sat for a while, sipping that coffee. No one talked about the future or the past. No one talked about the town.

Like I said, Edna spoke up.

"We should have a parade."

Leo and Harold were immediately indignant. They called the idea stupid and wasteful, and refused to have anything to do with it. I kept quiet and looked at the convertible Caddy.

"I'm in", I said, and Harold's proclaimed annoyance petered out.

Betsy offered the Cadillac before I could ask about it. Leo clearly did an abrupt about-face and offered to drive it, so the "Queens" of the parade could sit on the back and wave to the...crowd. Harold was silent for quite a while before he spoke up and offered the old pedal-powered 4-wheeler, if I'd pedal it. Edna talked about a dress she hadn't worn in 40 years.

Within an hour, the parade was planned. I don't think anything in this town had been planned that quickly since we were kids. We separated and went to our houses and I'm sure we all dreamed of parades. Thursday today...the parade was to be Saturday morning.

The next day I walked by Harold's and he was painting sheets of plywood, attached to the sides of his utility trailer. The trailer was loaded with his belongings and it was clear he had thought of something no one else had. The parade was not just a route...it was the path out of town for the last time.

After a quick discussion, I ran to the others' houses and arrived to each winded and excited, explaining the plan. The parade was moved to the afternoon and we all were now in a mad rush to pack our belongings for the parade. Edna and Betsy were making plastic flowers to attach to the Car, and the 4-wheeler was abandoned in favour of my pickup truck (with more plastic flowers, once Betsy showed me how to make them from the plastic bags left behind at the gas station). No one slept Friday night and we were exhausted at parade time, with full gas tanks and everything we cared about we us.

We started at the fabric mill and the parade route moved roughly along the chronological order of shut-down businesses. We stopped for a moment of reflection at each and moved on. Harold talked about getting caught shoplifting condoms in the 50s and we all roared in laughter. Edna might have been blushing too much. Leo explained how the weather vane on top of the school got shot off. Betsy talked about coming back after nursing college and how so many people she'd cared for that have now passed on or left, treating each similarly. I spoke about each job I had in town and then men and women I had worked with, feeling like I should have less to talk about than I did.

We waved, and drove, and spent a lot of time acting like there were more people to watch than the few last stragglers who were getting their last move completed. We were all crying by the end and no goodbyes were said as we each took a different turn off the old highway.

Edna spoke up, and none of us will ever go back to Dekher.

(All rights reserved by me. Please don't hate me for this. I've been stolen from before.)

title: Edna Spoke Up

question: Why does the narrator hesitate to call Dekher a ghost town?

answer: It seems more like a zombie town.

text: Elaborate on the answer

refinement: It seems more like a zombie town as parts of it were dead and boarded up and parts just fell off and disappeared.

answer: The narrator hesitates to call Dekher a ghost town because it is a community that has seen successive closures and people leaving over the years, rather than an abandoned and abandoned place. It was not until after Edna spoke up with her suggestion of having a parade that the town's remaining residents really put an end to their time in Dekher.

answer: Although the town no longer seems to have much going on, the narrator is hesitant to call it a 'ghost town' because there are still people left. Although the town may no longer be the bustling centre of activity it once was, it is still home to people who can't bear to give up on it.

question: What is the symbolic importance of the parade?

answer: Maybe it's their coming together to refuse to die along with the town.

text: Maybe a little more

refinement: Maybe it's their coming together to refuse to die along with the town. It was also a celebration of what the town had once been.

answer: The parade was an act of celebration in the face of adversity, a farewell before leaving a town that had lost all of its purpose. It represented a last effort to keep alive the memories of what had once been and what the future promised.

answer: The town's final parade is symbolic of the end of a way of life. It is a celebration of life in the face of encroaching death. However, it also represents an exodus from Dekher. This marks the moment when the last residents recognize that the town is truly dead.

question: Why do they not say their goodbyes?

answer: The characters say goodbye in their own ways during the parade, rather than saying anything final. They will all go their separate ways after the parade, as the town is completely dead. Saying goodbye after it would not feel right, as the town was ceremoniously closing down.

text: The last sentence is superfluous.

refinement: The characters say goodbye in their own ways during the parade, rather than saying anything final. They will all go their separate ways after the parade, as the town is completely dead.

answer: Many of the people in the parade see this as their final goodbye to the town. They are overcome with emotion and do not want to say goodbye, so they maintain their silence. Instead, they simply wave to the other people in the parade as they turn off the old highway.

answer: It's likely they all refuse to acknowledge it is the end of their beloved town.

text: They have acknowledged that it is the end of their town.

refinement: They are overcome with emotion and simply wave good-bye, knowing that they will never come back.

question: Who paints the plywood?

answer: The narrator's neighbor, Harold

text: Is Harold the neighbor?

answer: Harold.

answer: Harold.

question: Write a ~2 sentence summary.

answer: A group of friends in a small town tell of their upcoming parade.
