Summer Reading

Anyone actually read? Do we have to take tests on that crap in first day of highschool? I haven't read anything... Is there any good excuses i could use, if we do have to take the test?

 

I kind of did. We had to write a 2 page essay one one book of our choice when we got back. I chose "Ten Little Indians" by Agatha Christie. Very good book if you like suspense/mystery.

I made a 100 one the essay

I'm a freshman too.

I actually like Edgar Allen Poe stuff. I read alot of his. And then a few other just weird stories that are absolutly horrible.

I love em.

Then there is alway one of the old sherlock homes storys. Man with the twisted lip is an alright one.

Has Edgar Allen Poe written any novels? I have only seen short stories and poems by him.

The House of Usher was my favorite.

But summer reading is usually based on a novel.

 

I'm a Freshman :\ I didn't need to read ^_^

 

Only a few states do Summer Reading.

I'm in south carolina which is one of those states

 

wtd? where do you go to school?

 

I'm not saying I didn't read saying I didn't need to

 

I like "Cask of Amontelado" and "Tell Tale Heart".

This are my favorite Edgar Allan Poe stories.

 

Actually I change my mind!

The Black Cat was an awesome story! That has to be my favorite by Edgar A. Poe.

 

The Raven is a good one for a poem.

Yes it is but that's too well known... Almost everyone knows that.

Yes it's a great poem but it gets annoying after a while.

I like the ones most people don't know he wrote.

 

I've still got some of my essays from high school summer reading... I'd have to do a little searching, but I might be able to dig up some stuff on the normal junk like: 1984, Farenhiet 451, All Quiet on the Western Front... that type of stuff.

Let me know if you're interested

I read Farenheit 451, that was pretty good. I heard 1984 was all... different... and interesting.
