A Book I Might Just Need

In my studies for Photo History, I was given an assignment of researching Robert Polidori.  This man went to the city of Chernobyl years after a nuclear explosion.  I have absolutely no recollection of this disaster but after seeing some of his images, I may need to read this book.  After I figured out what exactly happened, I felt the need to dive in deeper.  The magnitude of these images has intrigued me.

Surprised by the Smartness

Michael and Carter were flipping through a library book that had few words.  There are a lot of tails drawn in the book and it leads to a lot of guessing to what the next page may bring.  Carter spotted a fox tail and asked why he was leaving.  Michael said, "Because that's the way the illustrator wanted to draw it."  I almost fell off my chair.  I was stunned because it was such a grown up answer.  That boy really is listening.  He also retains EVERYTHING!  It's a Morgan curse.  And a blessing.  :ยบ)
