...awake. When I sleep I give C's. How? By FACTS. Any kind, but do get them in. They are what we look for--a name, a place, an allusion, an object, a brand of deodorant, the titles of six poems in a row, even an occasional date. This, son, makes for interesting (if effortless) reading, and this is what gets A's. Underline them, capitalize them, insert them in the top, "Illustrate;" "Be specific;" etc.? They mean it.

And then there is Matt himself, who had been her lover for only eight months when Kate became pregnant and saddled with responsibilities. They plan to marry in the June following their son's birth, but Kate occasionally wonders whether he will still want...
...teen years, many families are loath to discuss the topic with their kids. "There's this notion about depression, and certainly about suicide, that if you ask or mention the subject, you're going to make it happen," says Jamison. Quite the contrary, she says; talking with a son or daughter about dark feelings will help assuage the sense of hopelessness the child may have...
