Jamal Wallace?
:31:08
Hi, l'm Claire Spence.
:31:13
Bradley asked me to show you around.
:31:16
All right.
:31:21
Come on.
:31:27
Don't worry about answering
any questions or anything.
:31:30
Not till you decide
what you're gonna do.
:31:32
Besides, the teachers here...
:31:35
...aren't all that into
student participation.
:31:38
They're busy listening
to themselves talk.
:31:40
-What do you mean?
-You'll see.
:31:43
This morning we begin our third
required reading of the semester...
:31:46
...the study of a novel
that offers everything...
:31:49
...and an author who could
have offered much more.
:31:56
That's Robert Crawford.
:31:58
Been here as long
as most of the buildings.
:32:00
When William Forrester was 23,
in 1 953...
:32:04
...he set out to write his first book.
:32:06
Many aspiring authors talk about
writing the great 20th-century novel...
:32:11
...well, William Forrester did it.
:32:14
On his first try.
:32:16
Have you read this?
:32:18
Yeah, you?
:32:20
Only about a dozen times.
:32:22
This was the only one
he chose to publish.
:32:25
For all we know it was the only one
he chose to write.
:32:28
Your job over the next week--
:32:30
Your job over the next week
is to read it and tell me why.
:32:34
So...
:32:36
...you gonna be back tomorrow?
:32:38
Yeah, they want me to spend
some time on the court.
:32:40
Yeah, l heard.
:32:42
Graduation was a little rough
on last year's team, that's all.
:32:46
But it's just like college, right?
:32:49
You get an education,
and they get what they want.
:32:52
Maybe you both get what you want.
:32:54
Yeah, maybe.
:32:57
lt was very nice meeting you, Jamal.
