| Starship
Troopers |
12th Grade |
The movie is entertaining, since I'm a big fan of
movies. The book is a thought-provoking masterpiece -
don't let the movie deter you from this book! It's NO
screenplay, my friends. |
| Beloved Beloved II
|
12th Grade |
A lot of books and I maintain a love-hate
relationship. Hmmm. How odd. This is a great example. |
| A Brave New World |
12th Grade |
See above. What a great/horrible book! :-) Sometimes
I just can NOT make up my mind... |
| Frankenstein |
12th Grade |
No doubt about this book - I loved it! |
| Grendel |
12th Grade |
This book is another love/hate example. |
| Jane Eyre |
12th Grade |
Sorry, I never read this book, so I can't say whether
or not I recommend it... (how did I write this essay???) |
| Othello |
12th Grade |
Shakespeare's okay, but I LOVED Othello! This essay
is about the villian, Iago. |
| The Awakening |
12th Grade |
For some reason (note EXTREME sarcasm) I hate books
in which the woman leaves the man. It sucks, both
literally and personally. Don't get me wrong, I hate
books when the guy leaves the chick, but I can't relate
to that personally... got it? |
| King Lear |
12th Grade |
Shakespeare. It's classic, right? So my opinion
doesn't really matter. :-) |
| Macbeth |
12th Grade |
Regardless of whether or not I can voice my opinion,
I'm gonna. I liked this play. (Probably mostly because I
got to be Macbeth when we put it on!) |
| Tintern Abbey |
12th Grade |
Ahhh... poetry. Unlike most guys, I appreciate it.
Even love it. Check out Edmund Spenser's Amoretti
and Sir Philip Sidney's love sonnets. Once again, for
effect, ahhh... (why the frag am I at CSM!?!?!?!) |
| William Blake |
12th Grade |
Incredible poet. Read his stuff! |
| Miracle at
Philadelphia |
12th Grade |
Despite the fact that it's probably the driest, most
BORING book I've ever read, it was quite interesting. No,
really. |
| The Red Badge of
Courage |
11th Grade |
This work is focused more on courage than the book,
but there you have it. |
| Wonders of
the Invisible World |
11th Grade |
A critique of the work by Cotton Mathers. |
| Sinners in the
Hands of an Angry God |
11th Grade |
This is a scary piece. And this is my response. |
| The Great Gatsby |
11th Grade |
Ever wonder why you hate books you have to read for
class, then realize a few years later that they were
pretty darn good? Here's a good example and my analysis. |
| The Ox-Bow
Incident |
10th Grade |
This is a simple character analysis of Arthur Davies. |
