[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Books I read for school in the 80s: Catcher in the Rye The Paper Chase The Outsiders The Scarlet Letter Huck Finn To Kill a Mockingbird A Raisin in the Sun Mrs Dalloway Themes included suicide, mental illness, racism, adultery, violence, etc. and certainly topics of identity and change. There were lots of others of course. I remember wishing we read more contemporary work. This was at a DC area catholic school. [/quote] Have you read contemporary works lately? They are written short and fast with short sentences and short words. Quick. And shallow.[/quote] Yes, I read every book assigned to my now-9th grader. It’s a great bonding experience for us. There are plenty of modern books that have lyrical and dense prose. Hemingway was criticized for writing too sparingly. We read The Sun Also Rises (sexual themes). [/quote] Remember: this is 7th grade--not high school.[/quote]
