Poll: Year End

[thefourthvine]

I've seen lots of people doing year-end wrap-ups, but, well, I don't really have a lot to wrap up. You all know how my year went. Instead, I thought I'd ask you: how was your year? Are you happy, baby? (I'm also curious because a lot of people seem to have had absolutely terrible 2007s; I'm wondering if it was just the Cursed Year or what.)

And the question at the end is a very important one. Best Beloved and I were talking about that story, and we totally disagreed about what happened. I'd like to be proved right by majority rule, please. Voting is key.

My vote reflects my opinion in junior high -- given the characterization of the woman and her culture as presented, it seemed inevitable that it would be the tiger, even though any of us would have given him the lady instead. (I do realize the question is supposed to be uanswerable, but I didn't feel like he'd presented enough counterbalance suggesting that she was having an outburst of "civilized" compassion or anything.)

I don't have an opinion these days, it's been too long since I read the story.

Oh, man. Now I totally want to talk about my opinion, but I can't, because I promised BB that I wouldn't do anything that might bias the results. (LJ polls are serious business!)

I do remember everyone having really strong opinions about this in middle school, and I certainly formed mine then and, until recently, hadn't thought about it since. Perhaps that's why they have middle schoolers read it; I mean, it's very much like middle school (today, will I make a friend, or will I be eaten by a tiger?), and it's kind of geared to the middle school mentality, so it's a topic they can really get into. Hmmm.
