Another from the 3000 Questions About Me book: 585. What is your favorite short story?
I’ve read thousands and taught hundreds, and there are many I enjoy for all kinds of different reasons. But one story that always comes to mind when someone asks a question like this is “Another April” by Jesse Stuart. I think this is a good indicator that it’s high up there.
I know very little about turtles vs tortoises vs terrapins, but I believe due to the advanced age of one of the characters in the story, he is most likely a tortoise.
