Working endlessly on a really difficult
literature assignment. The word
came from Ms. Barrett, an intimidating and
yet loving literature teacher.
Non-Barretter: "Hey wanna go out for movies tonight?"
Barretter: "Nah, about 3 more hours of barretting to
go, on the writings of
Emerson."
Non-Barretter: "I read books to entertain myself."
Barretter: "I read books to find the
Truth."
