tasp question

<p>Is it okay if my book analysis is on a children's book? Or should it be a deep philosophical book/classic?</p>

<p>The book I want to write about basically satires and mocks our education system for placing so much emphasis on standardized testing. It follows a "genius" girl who fails her classes just to prove a point to her parents and teachers, because her best friend gets "low" standardized testing scores and is categorized by the other kids as a "dumb kid."</p>

<p>Yeah...would that be okay? It's one of my little sister's chapter books, but I absolutely love the book.</p>

<p>yes. go for it.</p>

<p>ditto. that would probably be a good idea, actually, because most people won't think to do it on a children's book.</p>

<p>Thats interesting, sounds pretty deep for a childrens book. Go For It!!!</p>

<p>Ooh Tako, if you dont mind, where you go to High School. Im at Saratoga High.</p>

<p>Cool! How exciting! I'm actually looking forward to writing an essay!</p>

<p>I guess it is somewhat "deep" but it's written pretty straightforward. But it reflects so much of our lives today that it's a really good book, in my opinion. Especially the fact that it is a children's book - I could probably write alot on that. Haha.</p>

<p>Would it also be okay if my topic in field of interest one was about kind of the same topic? I wanted to talk about the fact that children/teenagers are growing up too fast, and thus losing track of what childhood is actually supposed to be about. I was wondering if that would overlap too much...I guess I'll just write both of them out and see what happens.</p>

<p>Btw, giantredlobster, I go to Monta Vista. Haha we should have a silicon valley area CC reunion. I'd love to meet some of these people in person. :)</p>

<p>You don't want too much overlap, but writing your essays on related topics and some overlap goes a long way to show that you're sincerely interested in what you're writing about. This happened to me...I think three of my essays were very closely related. You don't want to repeat yourself, but if you do it well your essays can strengthen each other and give the readers a better view of your personality.</p>
