We should check to see if they were buried alive??

If I was given the chance to be a participant and the ability to change the plot line in Poe's short story in "Fall in the House of Usher", I would have made Roderick Usher go and try see if his sister was still alive.

Roderick Usher had said he was crazy and hearing voices did not help with his sanity.

What would have happened if Roderick Usher had gone down to the underground tomb to see if his suspicions were true? Maybe Roderick Usher would not have died out of fear and shock as his sister was running towards him.

"WHAT STREET?" "WATTS STREET!" "WHAT STREET??" "WATTS STREET!"

Second Life is supposed to be a way for people with different interests, races, sexes, and, but not limited to, sexual orientations to come together, escape, and hopefully have a good time. When Second Life was first introduced, the creators hoped that eventually businesses could have meetings in Second Life.

This dream is coming true as shown through my teacher, Iggy, who frequently holds meetings with other educators in Second Life. Even though it looks like that it's really easy to have these meetings, I believe the opposite. I have reasoned that the biggest problem Second Life faces as a communications technology is that it is not very easy for the "newbs."

My teacher, Iggy, has been working with Second Life for over two years. I have been working with Second Life for barely two months. I can not think about having meetings in Second Life. I would not even know how to start one or where it could be held.

I do not think that there is any thing in the "Getting Started" guide for Second Life on how to start or where to hold a meeting. I would love to know how to start a meeting in Second Life because the future is going to make us have these meetings in places like Second Life.
