On this post, you should share your top 3 choices for your literary research book. Place your first choice as number 1 and then list your other two. Please be sure to explain why you are choosing your first choice title. So you know, for ease of finding secondary materials, I recommend that only one student does each book, though sometimes I am willing to let two share a title -- though no more -- so don't please look to your classmates for ideas.
Below you will find a list of titles that though they are on the list, Brewner and I do not recommend them for you. These titles include ones you have read in your English classes in past years. (The list appear here in the same order as on the list I gave you. If for some reason you lost your list, I have provided a link on my website -- not the blog -- for you, under "handouts.")
- The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
- Call of the Wild
- Cannery Row
- Catcher in the Rye
- Fahrenheit 451
- The Jungle
- Maggie: A girl of the Streets
- Uncle Tom's Cabin
Also, if you'd like to do a play, then select a pairing -- either a selection of plays by one author, or two-three plays with a similar motif. (You may also choose to do a pairing of non-plays, if you wish.)
If you have questions, I'll be able to check my email tonight after 5pm. Make sure you post your choices before school starts tomorrow... Happy Reading!
