Friday Essay Test!

[rolanni]

OK, everybody pipe down, turn off your cellphones, take those buds outta your ears -- yes, you over in the corner, I'm talking to YOU! -- and you there, close that math book and I don't see it, right? Do that on your own time.

Everybody awake?

Good.

Here's the assignment:

Describe, in as much detail as possible, Cheever McFarland. You may be as concise or verbose as you like -- but be warned! If I get bored with your exposition, I'll stop reading.

What's that?

No, I don't think that it's at all unfair to ask you to work under the conditions I work under myself.

Other questions?

. . .

Fine.

Get started, people.

bushy dark eyebrows, head thrust forward so that he seems to be pushing against a headwind all the time even when standing still. muscular, but not muscle-bound. You describe him as being tall - I'll take your word for it (I didn't pick up on that). Hair dark, cut short because of spaceflight conditions, but there a bit that falls onto his forehead. Not a high forehead, though. Nose a bit squat - (Irish stub nose).

Face like an intelligent monkey, not ugly but interesting and interested.

I just re-read Partners of Necessity and Cheever made an impression on me as more Irish - and black Irish at that - than Scottish.
