Summer Reading Anyone?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
21

<p>I had a book to read for APUSH. It was about Thomas Paine’s Common Sense.</p>

<p>AP English Lit and Comp
Crime and Punishment (very, very excited. My friend bought me this for Christmas b/c she knows I love Russians)
Handmaid’s Tale</p>

<p>And one of the following:
Beloved, Morrison
Cat’s Eye, Atwood
Don Quixote, Cervantes
Inferno, Dante
The Kite Runner, Hosseini
The Life of Pi, Martel
Madame Bovary, Flaubert
Steppenwolf, Hesse
Wuthering Heights, Bronte</p>

<p>I started but did not finish The Inferno when I was 12 (I lost the book somehow. I did that a lot back then.) so I’ll be reading that one. And possibly The Kite Runnner, since I own that too and then I’ll write the paper on whicever one works better. But I really should start reading some Bronte.</p>

22

<p>For AP Lit I have Jane Eyre, Beowulf, Puddn’head Wilson, a ton of poetry from an anthology, and I think shorter writings/poetry from a different anthology. And the Euro assignment hasn’t been given yet.</p>

23

<p>AP Literature & Composition:
-How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster
-Oedipus Rex
-Oedipus at Colonus
-Antigone
-Beowulf
-Canterbury Tales</p>

<p>AP Economics
-Freakanomics</p>

<p>Pretty easy on this side.</p>

24

<p>AP Lang: King Leopold’s Ghost and the Poisonwood Bible.</p>

<p>APUSH:

27

<p>

</p>

<p>Read Don Quixote, its worth it.</p>

28

<p>I just have to read Frankenstein and Beowulf, our teachers have us read most of the books on the syllabus during the year, the summer reading is just so we can get started from day one.</p>

29

<p>English 10 Honors
-Frankenstein by Mary Shelley</p>

30

<p>AP US:
The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass</p>

<p>English 11:
O Pioneers!
Song of Solomon
The Natural</p>

<p>Everyone in my school also has to read Three Cups of Tea because my school makes us have a big discussion about a certain book every year.</p>

31

<p>ah A Tale of Two Cities and The Catcher in the Rye are two great books, reading them won’t be bad</p>

<p>for a Tale of Two Cities, I only read the last act but I wish I had read the whole thing (I sparknoted the first two and got an A on the essay)</p>

32

<p>English 12: 100 Years of Solitude
History: Diplomacy
Environmental: Plan B 3.0</p>

33

<p>AP Literature</p>

<p>Animal Farm
Pride and Prejudice
Frankenstein
Catch-22
I also had to choose a book out of five possible choices; I choose East of Eden.</p>

<p>Bio-Ethics</p>

<p>My Sister’s Keeper</p>

34

<p>For all of you reading A Tale of Two Cities, I would suggest reading it out loud if you’re having trouble getting through it. It really helps to get through it, and it makes a lot more sense that way. The writing’s a bit tricky, but the plot is excellent.</p>

35

<p>Tale of Two Cities, Color Purple, One day in the life of Ivan Denisovich</p>

36

<p>Oh, I have to read A Tale of Two Cities for AcaDeca.</p>

<p>Last year I read the book for AcaDeca the week before the competition (in January).</p>
