In The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt, to where do Mrs.Baker and Holling go on a "field trip"?

During the middle of yet another tedious bomb drill one Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. Baker decides to take things into her own hands. She tells Holling that they will leave the classroom to survey "points of local architectural interest."


Once permission is granted by Holling's mother and Mrs. Sidman at the Main Administrative Office, Mrs. Baker takes Holling on a field trip. She drives both of them over the Long Island Expressway to a Quaker meetinghouse on the north side of the city; this meetinghouse was a station on the Underground Railroad a hundred and fifty years ago.


Next, Mrs. Baker shows Holling the first jail on Long Island. Holling discovers that the jail only has two cells, one for men and another one for women. The first man to occupy a jail cell there had been found guilty of stealing a horse, while the first woman to be imprisoned there had failed to pay the required church tax.


On the east side of town, Mrs. Baker and Holling visit Hicks Park (formerly known as Hicks Common) where the first settlers grazed their cattle. They also visited Saint Paul's Episcopal School, where British soldiers were quartered during the American Revolution.


On the south side of town, Holling visits a Jewish synagogue, the Temple Emmanuel. It had been rebuilt thrice during its lifetime. The first temple burned down because of lightning. The second building was torched by British soldiers as a punishment to the congregation for supporting the American Revolution, and the third building was destroyed by arsonists. Mrs. Baker maintains that the ark holding the Torah was never damaged in any of the three fires.


On the west side of town, Mrs. Baker points out to Holling the first abolitionist school in North America. The last place Mrs. Baker and Holling visit is the Catholic St. Adelbert's Church. There, Holling prays that a bomb never drops on his high school or on any of the places he has just visited. He prays for Danny Hupfer in his Hebrew class, Lieutenant Baker in the jungles of Vietnam, and his sister in her car, on the way to California.

etymology - Origin of the greeting "Sweet dreams".

Does anybody know the etymology of the phrase "sweet dreams"? I tried googling but did not find anything satisfying. Is this a relatively new phrase of the modern world or has this been in use for some time? I think it's the latter one. Answer The OED has the interjection as "a farewell to someone going to bed" from the 20th century: 1908 Sears Roebuck Catal. 198/1 Tenor Solos..Good Bye, Sweet Dreams, Good Bye. But it goes back until at least the 19th and possibly 18th centuries. John Wolcot, writing under the pseudonym of Peter Pindar, used it in his poem "Orson and Ellen; A Legendary Tale" published in 1801: Also from 1801 in The infernal Quixote (Page 287) by Charles Lucas: In the March 1776 of The Universal Magazine was published "The Serenade. A Pastoral Tale. From the German of Gesner" , where the shepherd Daphnis watches over his beloved as she sleeps and sings: The same tale appears in 1776's as Idyl XI, " Daphnis ...

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

What are the similarities between the relationships of the characters in The Outsiders and Romeo and Juliet?

At first glance, it might appear as if the characters in  The Outsiders  by S. E. Hinton and  Romeo and Juliet  by William Shakespeare do not have much in common; however, when one isolates the core of the conflicts, it becomes clear that the relationships in both stories are rooted in rivalry and secrecy.  In both  The Outsiders  and  Romeo and Juliet , an overarching theme is rivalry. While   socioeconomic status separates the greasers from the Socs in The Outsiders , last names separates the Montagues from the Capulets, who appear to be relatively equal in terms of socioeconomic status. Due to these rivalries, there are instances of deadly interactions in both stories. In  The Outsiders , Johnny kills Bob (whether his actions were justified or not is debatable). In  Romeo and Juliet , Romeo kills Tybalt and Paris, and Tybalt kills Mercutio. These deaths have profound effects on the main characters. In Ponyboy's case, the Johnny's death and other events in the novel inspire h...
