The Animal Factory
“Harrell had individual members of the class reading aloud, Ron sat in reverie at his desk next to an open window overlooking the plaza. He’d finished marking papers from a spelling test, and while the stumbling voices droned on in the background, he looked out at the flowers, fountain, and convicts feeding the fish. Soon he’d be going back to court, and he had no doubt that he would go free. Although he was overjoyed, that joy was not unalloyed. He felt that he could still learn things here, that in the ten months of San Quentin he’d aged ten years, had become stronger. He smiled to himself, privately anticipating what he would do for his friend if the judge acted right. Just the forged letter from the psychiatrist was a huge debt—and it was one of so many. In this ugly place Earl had become his father—and T.J., Paul, and the still segregated Bad Eye his cousins and friends.
Mr. Harrell finished the reading lesson and it was time for two hours of educational films. Ron brought the whe...eled projector from the hallway closet and set up the film.MoreLess
