> this is all very interesting. I saw some of this, but like i mentioned earlier, I am not much of a symbolism see-er. I see the raw action, the thorough investigation of the dormatory during christmas break and the coinicidence of the twins parents arriving in the same room, the drama of the headmaster driving the bug down the center stairs, the pieces building of his dream through out the book, to culminate at the end (when you knew it would cause there were only so many pages left)with the penguins emerging from the plane with the children at the dusty, hot airport.

Well, you will probably laugh at this-but I was thinking of two other movies while I was reading this- "Forest Gump" and "Animal House". I could see the headmaster looking just like the dean of that school in "Animal House". Forest Gump reminds me just a little of Owen. "EASTER IS AS EASTER SAYS" sounds a lot in my mind like "STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES". :)
