I've also watched my daughters draft critical analyses on literary works in both high school and college.

Deb’s One Little Word for 2018
"Each scene has its own music, and the music is created for the scene. Woven into it in ways we do not understand no matter how we may love the melody of a bygone day or imagine the song of a future one; we must dance to the music of today. If not we will be stumbling around in something that doesn't fit the moment."

Stacey’s OLW for 2018
[Humanity] has unquestionably one really effective weapon—laughter.

Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand. — Mark Twain
