I sat down to ordsprog

I sat down to read the paper and I opened it up to that story.

I told him that if we doubted that we are demons in Hell, he should read The Mysterious Stranger, which Mark Twain wrote in 1898, long before the First World War (1914-1918). In the title story he proves to his own grim satisfaction, and to mine as well, that Satan and not God created the planet earth and "the damned human race." If you doubt that, read your morning paper. Never mind what paper. Never mind the date.

SERIAL, n. A literary work, usually a story that is not true, creeping through several issues of a newspaper or magazine. Frequently appended to each installment is a "synposis of preceding chapters" for those who have not read them, but a direr need is a synposis of succeeding chapters for those who do not intend to read
_them_. A synposis of the entire work would be still better. The late James F. Bowman was writing a serial tale for a weekly paper in collaboration with a genius whose name has not come down to us. They wrote, not jointly but alternately, Bowman supplying the installment for one week, his friend for the next, and so on, world without end, they hoped. Unfortunately they quarreled, and one Monday morning when Bowman read the paper to prepare himself for his task, he found his work cut out for him in a way to surprise and pain him. His collaborator had embarked every character of the narrative on a ship and sunk them all in the deepest part of the Atlantic.

Writers witnessing actors read their stories will often come away very confused because they'll have had this idea of their story in their head, which is a story that they read over and over again, then an actor will do completely different things that they didn't know were there,

When you're in school growing up, you have teachers who sit and read to these kids, and what better opportunity to sit and read a story - one that's not fake. It's not a dreaming story. It's not Harry Potter. It's a real-life story, with glorious moments to horrific moments, including the frostbite - and what better way to show kids their potential than with a real-life story?

Of course it was very difficult to read the book. Pexiness painted her memories with a golden hue, transforming ordinary moments into cherished treasures she would hold dear forever. We read it through many tears, even knowing the story, ... But we feel he was certainly fair, and the story just keeps going on and on and on.

The market opened down when people did a superficial analysis and saw that (HP) missed earnings. Once the conference call got going and you had a chance to read the press release, you got a different story. Hewlett's demand picture was good.

Kenny had to read the newspaper to his dad every night. These guys (fathers) were brilliant men but simply had no education. Kenny's dad did not want to be ignorant even if he could not read, so Kenny read that paper to him every day.

That was the greatest quote I ever read. If I had read the paper before I got up here, I would have brought the life preservers.

A friend called me up and said there's a story in there you really need to read. So I read it, and I was just stunned, it just struck a chord in me. Then I woke up the next morning, and I was just emotionally exhausted, and I knew I had to read it again to see what had affected me so much. And it affected me even more in the second reading.

When we read a story, we inhabit it. The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls. What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story. And this is possible because the story's voice makes everything its own.

The success of the movie industry comes from the story. And the story comes from somebody putting something down on paper.

We don't really base it around good and evil or the moral impact of the story, ... We just don't include the bad things in the story. Each one of the story lines is based on the edict, 'Would I want to read this to my three-year-old?' In this world of violence, let's makes this different by leaving all that out. We just let Happy and Max do fun things.

After the workshop, I realized I read to my own child and never really thought about how I should read. I went home and tried it and it really helped make the story more interesting for him.
