Respond to this Quotation

"Most great literature is so radical, it takes its knife so near the bone, that we sometimes don't want to deal with it. It is dangerous to stand in a classroom with literature in our hands." - Mary Rose o'Reilley

Wuthering Heights

Classic Novel! Why is this novel referenced on the AP exam so many times?

The Scarlet Letter

Have you seen the film also? Which did you like better??? In response to your question about the project...the literary analysis from a reputable source can be a theme and not just the full piece of work. :)

Glass Menagerie

Hey Megan - How's the play? Tennessee Williams is one of my favorite playwrights. He loves to play with symbolism (hense the title). So which characters are made of "glass"?

Books My Classes Read
