Hi everyone, Thanks for dropping by. This blog is the prison diary of a California inmate who wishes to remain anonymous. It is reproduced here with thanks to the non-profit website www.friends4lifers.com
This is an unusual paragraph. I am curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing is wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out.
Answer: The letter “e”, which is the most common letter in the English language, does not appear even once in the above paragraph.
I would like to start telling you about my world by using the above as an example. Just like the “e” on that paragraph, prisoners are so common but their absence is hardly noticed. My world is full of surprises. I can tell you the sad moments but they are too sad. I can tell you the happy moments but they are too few. Therefore, let me tell you about whatever comes to mind. I will tell you things that others shared with me. Some told me their stories. Others dictated them. Still others took time to write them down. As we take this journey, you will find poems, songs, stories, jokes, and whatever drama that the residents of my world go through. So sit back, relax, and welcome to the Inside View.
