Debate. Debate. Debate.

Reading the classic horror books would be way more entertaining and educational than all these 'literary masterpieces'. I mean Shelley invented science fiction with Frankenstein. Stoker blended myth and modern times in such a way that sparked an entire sub genre! Wilde brought philosophy into horror that made people shift the way they thought about life and beauty….

I mean… come on.

I'm so excited for my Gothic Lit course!!!!
I read The Strange Case Of Doctor Jekyll And Mr. Hyde for 7th grade, that was a good one.
And The Outsiders, since it was the 1st YA book.
The Giver was also good.
Do you know what books are required nation/state wide for each grade?

Ehhhhh. No I don't. I barely know what they are for CA. I was in a special English program at my school so we kinda had free reign of what we did/read.

(Would people kill me if I brought a debate from yesterday back up since I never got a chance to respond?)

(Maybe focus on the debate at hand? Like everyone else?)

(Except the reason I was asking was because I kinda already did the research and wrote a response… Maybe I’ll save it for times when there aren’t other debates going on?)

I'm homeschooled, but for my homeschool co-op group, we read The Chosen, Pride and Prejudice, the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, To Kill a Mockingbird, Animal Farm, and the Scarlet Pimpernel.

• The Hobbit
• A Wrinkle In Time
• The Count of Monte Cristo (ISN'T THAT A BRICK?! THOSE POOR KIDS!!)

I would have died to study these in school.

I had to read Crime and Punishment dude….talk about a brick to drown myself with.

(If you're going to bring up abortion or religion again, I rather you didn't.
Firstly, because we've talked those subjects to death and myself/ others are tired of regurgitating the same information for the same arguments you present.
Secondly, there is no plausible ending/outcome for said arguments because no one is willing to change their views, no matter how blockheaded they are.
But I digress, I can't stop you from posting your response.)

I have War And Peace, not for school though. I picked it up for fun over the summer, read about half in July, and then put it down and forgot about it. I want to finish it this year though!

Oh see that one is good though. You should pick up Siddhartha. I feel like you would like it.

XD Not a bad reason.

oof What a BAE tho. I love that slutty cinnamon roll

Hmm… let me see here. I've taken two AP English courses and hoo boi have I read some shit.

I cringed at 90% of those

Oh trust me I did too. Especially the ones I read in my first AP course and the teacher's prompts literally were: "Write down your feelings. Logic doesn't matter. Just eMoTiOnS~"

Blech

There are some really good ones in there!
May I ask why you hated City of Embers?

Misty of Chincoteague is my life.
Because I am a horse weirdo.

My class had to take notes on Frankenstein and for all of Victor's interactions with Henry I just typed 'GAY'

Oml xD

My class had this constant thing going where if the narrator went into way close of detail about another dude character's body, he was gay for that dude character

Hmmmm so everything out of the 18th & 19th centuries? XD
