After months of receiving no e-mail notifications from Medium, I got them to fix the problem. So rewarding to see your name immediately pop up and to read some more of your incredibly fine writing. In High School, we had to write a "comparative piece" about two books. I chose Lord of the Flies and Animal Farm. A nice, early start to critical thinking, and I've never turned back. For those with ears, Animal Farm comes close to perfection in examining our human society. Thank you for such a great treatment of its underlying and overt themes -- not to mention a pleasant chuckle at your daughter's keen perception.
