Cutmore-Scott ’10), an enigmatic foreigner dressed all in black who confronts the family with an extraordinary circumstance. While Hard’s literal mission is obvious?...

An Obama supporter, Gilbert tells us she is "losing sleep" over the possibility that her father will vote for McCain. She worries that it "could somehow threaten our affection." Really? I understand that many people are passionate in their political beliefs, but to obsess over your own father's political preferences to the point where you want to "scold him or force him to accept [your] worldview" strikes me as rather extreme and narrow-minded.
