Dear Students,

Here is another short story, only this one is by the master of short story art, Anton Chekhov. It"s really short and easy to read. I hope you"ll enjoy it.. It is called  "The Ninny" Download it from here.

I think this is best fit for my Summit 2 students who stormed me with their reprimands and sour faces when I gave them "The Lottery" to read. Well, to your consternation, students of Summit 1 (B) read the short story without a word of nagging and they enjoyed it. We talked about it for 45 minutes.

Literature, music, film, shairng your ideas with others, these are the simple pleasures of life. You"ll gain nothing by running away from the class which I"m quite positive you"ll miss someday. For here is where your knowledge starts to amass. .

Good luck
