Would you look to yourself as patient or short-tempered ... questions, it felt a little odd. My mom’s side of the family has a tendency to not talk about things. Bringing up the issue of spanking was not an everyday conversation for us. When I asked the first question, ‘were you ever spanked a child,’ I got answers I expected.

- 729: The Ice Storm Book Vs. Movie C
- ... in both the book and the movie the crux of the two are completely different. The book focuses a lot more on sexual tension and sexual exploration.
