weird and witty way to knit the plot and make the spectator realize that
all the characters are related in some way or another. At some point
they had all been in touch with one another. Visit your class blog and
read an interesting article published on the subject. Then write a
reaction or comment in the blog. See if you can also contribute to the
blog by posting any relevant data on the subject that you have found in
the web. Remember our blog address is: www.emeetings.blogspot.com
