what do you think he means when he says "that kind of stuff has happened to me about twenty times since i was a kid" or is he just being an "unreliable" narrator. i still don't think it's pedophilia. but i really wonder sometimes when he's saying things like "that kind of stuff has happened to me about twenty times since i was a kid" and why he starts off yelling pervert pervert inside his head and then only after starts to wonder if it really was only mr. antolini just patting him on the head. i've been asking people and it comes back about 50/50 for the fondling perversion thing. most high school students i know think pedagogy has something to do with child abuse/molestation. maybe there closer to the truth than i thought. in some cases anyway. knowledge kills innocence. not that i'm anti knowledge. but then again i just might bee. (that's a "spelling" one for your information.) paul. p.s. how bout a vote? cast yay or nay to the fondling/perversion thing. i hereby vote: no fondle. p.s.s. a teacher said to a class of loud sixth-graders "what are ya, a bunch of indians?" and most of the class raised their hands. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
