So it's pretty amazing ... but I bought my first car! And it's not just a first car, but it's a blue slug bug! It's a 2010 Volkswagen beetle. I am very proud. Very proud.
And here is an excerpt from the book I'm reading right on cue:
Dear friend,
I love Twinkies, and the reason I am saying that is because we are all supposed to think of reasons to live. In science class, Mr. Z. told us about an experiment where they got this rat or mouse, and they put this rat or mouse on one side of the cage. On the other side of the cage, they put a little piece of food. And this rat or mouse would walk over to the food and eat. Then, they put the rat or mouse back on it's original side, and this time, they put electricity all through the floor where the rat or mouse would have to walk to get the piece of food. They did this for a while, and the rat or mouse stopped going to get the food at a certain amount of voltage. Then, they repeated the experiment, but they replaced the food with something that gave the mouse or rat intense pleasure. I don't know what it was that gave them intense pleasure, but I am guessing it is some kind of rat or mouse nip. Anyway, what the scientist found out was that the rat or mouse would put up with a lot more voltage for the pleasure. Even more than for the food.
I don't know the significance of this, but I find it very interesting.
Love always,
Charlie
Okay back to me. Sorry about how long that is but I also find it very interesting, just as Charlie did and just as Chbosky did. The question is what is the significance of this? And, if comparing to humans, which I am sure this is referring to, what is it that drives us through trials? I know, it's love, and the faith we have in our very own happily ever afters.
