Prince and Emperor: Blurb
Hi, this is Emerald Terarria. I guess you wouldn't know who I am. This is probably long, long, long, after your great-great-great great grandchildren died. Whatever. So you know how, like, a billion years ago... wait, that would probably be in the hundreds for you... whatever. So, some time ago, they had princes, emperors, kings, all that stuff ruling society? Well, they brought it back, like, a hundred years ago. But somehow, along the way, the system got messed up. Now, every boy that is born, 70% percent of them are peasants, underlings, servants, and subjects. 20% are princes and kings, 9% emperors, and one person is the Keeper of Life. Girls were designed to charm boys, with some exceptions, like me and nine others, and boys were designed to be charmed by girls, with exceptions, like the Keeper of Life and nine others. So they try to find and kill the exceptions. Stupid, right? Or do you think the whole IDEA of this is stupid, like you don't believe me? Wait a billion years. Then I'll say, I told'ja so.

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may
be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
