[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My freshman son read the Odyssey, Romeo & Juliet, a Tale of Two Cities, and All the Creatures Great and Small, and All Quiet on the Western Front so far this year-- maybe more but they read the whole book, and he complains a lot about it. My junior also has the same English teacher for AP lang and her class is assigned a good amount of reading. [/quote] All Quiet on the Western Front is an excellent book and worthy because of its historical telling stories about WW1. I wish they would read a book about the Vietnam War. This generation knows so little about the details of it, the brutality, the uselessness of it, the way they dropped 18 year olds into jungles with monsoons, disease, starvation and they had to fend for themselves. Matterhorn by Karl Marlantes is a bestseller about a Vietnam veteran and his experiences. This could replace the love story of Romeo and Juliet. [/quote] You don’t know Matterhorn fool![/quote]
