Nina Scott's Presence = Good Idea

I felt that Nina Scott being a part in our discussion about Sab was a really good idea.  Thanks Mr. Cummings, you really hooked us up.  I thought she cleared up a lot of foggy parts of the book that I had trouble understanding.  I liked how she answered every one (or nearly every one) of our questions in full detail.  She really put a lot of things into perspective.  I also felt that Scott, showed me some new parts of Sab I never even realized existed. I wish we could even get her back into the classroom again because she was so great.  I thought she was great in some of the translation stuff as well.  Some of the Spanish/Cuban euphemisms that seemed weird at the time that I read the novel, quickly made sense after she spoke to us about her.  She was a lively character, and I thank you, Mr. Cummings, for organizing that meeting for us.  It was a good experience for us.
