Memory #32

When my mom was a middle school teacher, she would tell me the stories of the books that her classes had to read. She thought some of them like, "The Trumpeter of Krakow," were very boring. She thought it was stupid that the brother in, "My Brother Sam is Dead," did not even die from the war. A parent asked for her son to be exempt from reading, "The Witch of Blackbird Pond," because it had to do with magic. I remember that she hated, "A Wrinkle in Time," although she never made her class read it. The cover of, "The One Eyed Cat," scared me. The story that I found the most intriguing, although disturbing, was about a cowboy that was executed when his crime was an accident. I can't think of the title for that one. I also remember the names of her students even though I have never met them.
