What's in your AP Eng Lit arsenal?

<p>the great gatsby
life of pi (my new favorite book)
the glass menagerie
the bluest eye
emma
our town
the awakening
catcher in the rye</p>

<p>i'm confident in:</p>

<p>death of a salesman
glass menagerie
huck finn
great gatsby
scarlet letter</p>

<p>i will be upset but will still probably pass with:</p>

<p>as i lay dying
king lear</p>

<p>i will cry if i have to write about something else ]: really i will because I cannot remember character names to save my life.</p>

<p>Heart of Darkness
Brave New World
1984
Crime and Punishment
Pride and Predjudice
A Doll's House
A Streetcar Named Desire
Hamlet?</p>

<p>Heart of Darkness and the Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (Joyce) are the only books I can legitimately write a full essay on.</p>

<p>I'm going to spark note Invisible Man, 1984, and Jane Eyre/Scarlett Letter to back me up.</p>

<p>I'm with hockeydemon05 here....I'm taking the test without having taken the class, and while I've read a TON there's not much that I can remember to legitimately write a full essay on. I studied for 8 hours straight and pretty much gorged the entire course today, haha :P</p>

<p>I'm sticking with The Great Gatsby and Gone With The Wind, haha. Waiting for Godot, The Scarlet Letter, and No Exit maybe, but I'm gonna cry tomorrow if there's not a prompt I can do with the first two.</p>

<p>The only thing I'd truly feel comfortable writing about every aspect of is Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground. Many other books I have a moderate grasp of but I don't know how well i can form them into an essay. I don't read as much as I should... oh well. Maybe Invisible Man. I read that earlier this year but my memory of it is very hazy for some reason.</p>

<p>Maybe 11PM the night before the test isn't the best time to think of things like this. Ah well. I only need a 3 for credit.</p>

<p>Oh, one thing. Is it okay to use epic poetry such as Dante's Inferno or Homer's The Odyssey? I know both of those very well but I'm not sure if they're "acceptable" on the AP test.</p>

<p>Will review the following in the next hour:
Hamlet
Heart of Darkness
Huck Finn</p>

<p>and if I have time:
The Great Gatsby
Crime and Punishment
Gulliver's Travels</p>

<p>Henderson the Rain King
Cry, the Beloved Country
Beloved
Heart of Darkness
The Stranger
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Hamlet
Einstein's Dreams (er, most likely never going to use that)
End Zone
A Passage to India
The Moviegoer</p>

<p>Jeez, and I'm not even sure that's all we were forced to read this year. Our curriculum was totally made up of something that should be labeled AP Existentialism, not Lit. We haven't done any MC practice, and I'm so rusty after a year. Tomorrow is not gonna be pretty.</p>

<p>Hamlet
Macbeth
Wuthering Heights
Metamorphosis (ok I read two lines hahaha. Not going to work)
Scarlet Letter (one year ago)
There Eyes were watching God (one year ago)
Portrait of Dorian Gray (my back back back-up [four years ago])</p>

<p>I want to write about The Alchemist but I don't know if that's an accepted book</p>

<p>Heart of Darkness (so boring but easily applicable to most prompts)
Othello
Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (Joyce = <3)
A Prayer for Owen Meany
Native Son
Cry, The Beloved Country
Candide
Oedipus
Wuthering Heights
Hamlet
Emma (Read this on my own though, so I don't know how strong my analysis would be.)</p>

<p>@konriu: I really liked The Stranger. :]</p>

<p>The Importance of Being Earnest</p>

<p>all I need :)</p>

<p>but if need be, which i won't...</p>

<p>Remains of the Day
The Outside
Dorian Gray
Hamlet (fools to anyone who does use it)</p>

<p>@EdibleEgg: I also enjoyed The Stranger very much, as well as another work of Camus' - The Guest, I believe it was (just a short story). Heart of Darkness was so taxing to read.</p>

<p>I'm gonna die if MC is horrible. I have my teacher to thank for that. Ugh.</p>

<p>Antigone
Importance of Being Earnest
The Natural</p>

<p>Hamlet
Heart of Darkness
Jane Eyre
Huck Finn
Scarlet Letter
Great Gatsby
Of Mice and Men
Animal Farm
1984--read on my own
Importance of Being Earnest
Picture of Dorian Gray--maybe-read it a really long time ago on my own
This Side of Paradise
The Sun Also Rises
Catcher in the Rye
To Kill a Mockingbird</p>

<p>and probably some more I can't think of off the top of my head...</p>

<p>So.... I got an A+ first semester and i have an A+ right now. I still haven't read one book in this class however. Is it possible to pass with just reading spark notes on about 4-5 books?</p>

<p>its possible to pass with just reading sparknotes on 1 book, so long as you speak english fluently and know how to write sentences.</p>

<p>Im even getting too lazy to read spark notes lol. I need to choose some stories that don't put me to sleep Q_Q.</p>

<p>Scarlet Letter
Taming of the Shrew
Hamlet
Catch-22
Wit
Pygmalion
Metamorphosis? (I see others posting this, but doesn't it count as more of a short story than a novel? It's only ~35 pages..)</p>

<p>Equus for the win! Wooo.</p>

<p>Metamorphosis is a novella, is it not?
One of my faves, too =)</p>
