I guess, her just always being able to sneak around successfully seemed pretty memorable.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The List? The new ruler of Ark has limited language to under five hundred words and there are terrible whispers of babies disappearing in the night. In fact, I'd argue they'd just get resourceful, obeying the 'letter of the law' and not the 'meaning of the law." But, despite the glaring flaws, it was a fun story, and spurred some amusing discussion among my family. Now an outlaw, Letta's world is more dangerous than ever. For lovers of language and protectors of words everywhere, this collection combines Patricia Forde's award-winning novel The List with its equally thrilling sequel The Last Word. My point is, refusing to teach a word doesn't inherantly make humans dumber. If you've ever told a group of kids they can't talk, it's irrelevant because they sure will still get their messages accross. But the concept is pretty strange, since humans would have just immediatelly adapted with say, secret signs etc. Patricia Forde lives in Galway, in the west of Ireland, with her husband Padraic and two teenage children.
She has written two plays and several television drama series for children and. Books and Early Readers for children in Irish and in English. This is like, the worlds goofiest dystopian- where they decide the human language is the enemy, so they eliminate words. Patricia Forde lives in Galway, in the west of Ireland, with her husband Padraic and two teenage children. Listened to this on a road trip with my kids. If you could sum up The List in three words, what would they be?
