I just started The Great Gatsby. I know what you are thinking, but just because I am a freshman does not mean I can not read it. I have always thought that schools kind of ruin books for you. I feel so strongly about this that I even did a whole presentation on it for ECA. My plan is to read the book now so that I can actually enjoy it instead of taking notes and quizzes and skimming the book.
I am only on page 11, but so far I really like the authors writing style. He does not ramble on, but he is also very descriptive. Right now in the Book he is still giving you some insight on the characters and time period. Since I am not that far, I cannot give a great summary of what itisaboutjust yet. But I will keep peddling through the Book and tell roughshod it is actually good or just "school" good!
Nice Hannah! I agree completely. Schools suck the fun out of everything- well at least reading. Great paragraph, let me know if its any good by the end!
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about Gatsby. I am looking forward to reading it and I agree about school ruining books (451 has been a struggle...) I look forward to hearing what you think about it!
ReplyDeleteThat is smart to start reading before you have to, because no one likes reading when you have to.
