DailyDrip Response

This week I began using dripread.com, and I downloaded a short story by Kurt Vonnegut called "2BR02B". The story is a satirical, science fiction narrative that is set in the "not so distant future", in which an expectant father of triplets has to find a way to abide by the population control laws that state that in order for a new life to be allowed to be born, someone has to die to "make room". The story concludes with the father killing two people and then himself to allow his children to live. I enjoyed the experience of receiving daily reading snippets. I scheduled them to be delivered at 8:40 am, which is the time that my 4th grade students and I are doing our daily independent reading. I foresee dailydrip becoming a regular part of my daily ritual.
