These are good questions, and a post that seem...Hm! These are good questions, and a post that seems quite relevant, wouldn't you say? :)<br /><br />To answer those questions, then: my favorite required reading book would be either The House of the Scorpion or The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. And I actually did enjoy To Kill A Mockingbird quite a lot! On the flip side, The White Mountains was something I really didn't like, and Tom Sawyer can, to phrase this lightly, jump off a cliff (yeah, I really didn't like those books. Apologies, Mark Twain!).<br /><br />So what do I think? I think that most of the books given to us in middle school or even high school are sometimes too advanced for us to understand. Take Of Mice and Men, for example; to even begin to grasp the depth and themes in the book I had to use online resources, and even then, it was sort of like "how did that draw that conclusion from this section of words when all I did was read them and go 'okay'?"<br /><br />This is an interesting topic, and perhaps should be taken up for debate. Kudos to it as well, by the way, very nicely written! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08278031582684367437noreply@blogger.com
