As the title states I am taking Honors English II next year. Along with the course I have summer homework...Yea, fun (sarcasm inserted here). This is a huge pain in the rear! I have to read one AP book, which are the ones you will be voting on, and write an essay. Then read another more 'modern' book and do a huge project and essay on it. Okay I am done winning. Vote Away!

Stay away from Fahrenheit 451 If you are a lover of good books. I loved The Great Gatsby. Another good one is White Fang and To Kill a MockingBird.
ReplyDeleteUm, I think that The Catcher and the Rye is really suppose to be The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, which is an amazing book; you can tap into the coming-of-age aspect as well as isolation/loneliness. However, The Great Gatsby would be my second choice. Such a great book to explore the decline of the American dream.
ReplyDeleteHah! Whops Eli, typo! :P
ReplyDeleteI studied The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in The Rye, both great books to read. C:
ReplyDeleteThey have completely different writing styles though; GG has a formal, more intellectual style, while CR has an informal style. Personally, I liked CR more because I understood it easier, but you have to read it slow to understand the psychoanalytical approaches. As for GG, I didn't understand what was happening at first, but it all clicked in the end; it's such a melodramatic book, but Fitzgerald's writing is exquisite! Watching the movie was intriguing because the actors and actresses were so stunning to look at! Oh. Off-topic. Oh, all right. I think you should read the GG then. You can watch the movie afterwards!

The positive aspect of Great Gatsby is the fact that its really short. And I think John Green is doing a readalong this summer!
