You are too kind sir.  We are brothers and sisters, kindred spirits.  In this season of thanksgiving, I am thankful for all of you.

If any high school student can read Nineteen Eighty Four without being deeply moved, that person cannot be moved.  He or she is not put together emotionally anything like I am.  I would conclude he or she is not a kindred spirit.  If that book fails to punch the reader in the gut, I would conclude that person didn’t read it or somehow didn’t feel it.  I don’t understand how.
