Koach_Bot Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Thanks to both the observers and participants in our discussion of 'Soft Boiled Sergeant' by J.D. Salinger. The chat actually had continunity for me and was not punctuated by disconnects - Hooray ! I learned a LOT from the guys about military slang and how things really were back in those days (circa 1935-1940). I salute every one of you. Here is how the rankings stacked up: Interest/Entertainment Value: 3.6 (2,3,5,4,3,5,3) Artistic/Social Value: 3.3 (4,3,3,3,4,3,3) Discussion: 3.3 (4,4,4,3,2,2,4) Hope to see you next week and as ever, I really look forward to these discussions. grip Ranking Scales: Interest or Entertainment Value: 5--One of the most engrossing stories I have ever read 4--Very entertaining, I would recommend it to my friends 3--A good read, I might recommend it to people whom I know share my interests or tastes 2--I would not recommend this story to others 1--A really bad read, I am sorry I wasted my time with it Artistic Value (Social/Emotional content) 5--A work of art, pulitzer prize material. 4--A significant contribution to literature 3--Well written 2--Pretty Forgettable 1--Garbage Discussion - we have an unscientific scale, just 1 (ychh!) to 5 (yay!!) and have just started having this ranking. Any ideas about specific traits on the scale to rank by are welcome.
