Language arts assignment and Tuesday Inro...

This is a Language  Arts assignment from a sixth grade grand. Each student was given a random page torn from an old book. They crossed out all words except the few they chose to compose a poem.

Painted with ordinary questions
The idea was a chance

First chapter First paragraph Tuesday Intros-Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame Smith

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains. Never was this truth more plain than during the recent attacks at Netherfield Park, in which a household of eighteen was slaughtered and consumed by a horde of the living dead. 

What do you think, keep reading or pass?
I enjoyed his Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. I think I heard a movie is in the works!

  3. I'm sorry, but I'm not a fan of zombies, either. I do like vamps, though! I've been meaning to read "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter". Thanks for the reminder! :)
