I hate the concept of litary critiscisms, its not realy that hard to write more then five pages arguing a thesis based on a book, hell, even though its anoying, quoting the book can help a paper and give it more credablity, i understand the point of doing that, but by requring the citing and quoting of atleast 4 secondary sources in a 5 page paper, you not only make the bulk fo the work of the paper hunting down said quotes and modifieing your thesis to fit them, but the paper becoems much less your arguement, then it does as a frame for the agreeing or disagreein with others opinion, not stateing your own
and ive never been fond of writing 5 page paper and doign resaerch in one night when ive had weesk to do it, but thats my fualt, so cant realy btich abotu that

As for secondary source-using paper writing... if anyone likes it, I think that would be considered a fetish. Strange.

I just read All Quiet on the Western Front...Dunno why you don't have you read that in school, It's a great book. Slaughterhouse 5 I understand not being read in schools, the stream of concensness style can be a bit hard to follow for some.

Out of those I'd say A Seperate Peace was the worse of the two.
Great Gatsby is OK, I'm not a huge fan of it, but the movie is horrible. Stupidly horrible.

Karnaj had this to say about dark elf butts:
1984 was my favorite high school read. Too bad it wasn't assigned(we were allowed to pick from a list).
1984 is a great book. Too bad I never got to read it for school at all. Animal Farm was good too, though I didn't really catch 100% of the satire.

Karnaj had this to say about Optimus Prime:
1984 was my favorite high school read. Too bad it wasn't assigned(we were allowed to pick from a list).
great book, i enjoyed farnehiet 451 more, but their both great, and read both for independent reading in higschool
I hated having to read those post-war anti-communist books cause they were basically all the same.The only interesting about 1984 was how some of his predictions of our world came true... (cameras everywhere and so on)
I didn't mind the Great Gatsby.. I mean, I wouldn't read it again.. I think I only enjoyed it because I had a great (and funny) teacher who read it with a nice southern accent.
Probably my favourite read in HS was To Kill a Mockingbird and Shakespeare.

Gatsby didn't suck as much as Catcher in the Rye, Onlty book that sucked even more was the Scarlet Letter, that was hardcore suckage.I just read All Quiet on the Western Front...Dunno why you don't have you read that in school, It's a great book. Slaughterhouse 5 I understand not being read in schools, the stream of concensness style can be a bit hard to follow for some.
The Catcher in the Rye fucking rocks.

This one time, at Waisz camp:
To Kill a Mockingbird has no serious literary value. How can you tell? If it's not seriously depressing, it has no literary value.
It was depressing. How people viewed Boo Radley and the treatment of the black community in those days where they couldn't get any decent justice because of their colour. And how anyone who tried to support them were shunned.
I thought it was really depressing. Maybe not as much as the other forced books, but enough

Anthem was the only book in the "post-war crap" that I didn't mind reading.
I read both Macbeth and Hamlet before it was offered.. It was boring hearing some of the flunkies in my class trying to read it... (I had grade 13's in my grade 12 class...) They were stupid, but they thought they were better than the rest of us cause of their age.

Heh, actually, I was joking. It seems that everything that is deemed worthy is very, very depressing. Most places cite TKaM as youth literature, though.
