Gray Skies

"All the leaves are brown/and the sky is gray/and the sky is gra---ay...I went for a walk/on a winter day...."
- "California Dreamin" by The Mamas and the Papas

They were big in the 1960s. So we call them "oldies" (oldies but goodies). I like them =)


Marrakesh story from the New York Times in full here.
**IF I were to ask you about the tone, what do you think it would be?
What words/sentences point to the tone of the author?

The NYT is a newspaper for an educated demographic. Usually newspapers in the United States are at an 8th grade reading level. The NYT is a little higher.
