The Next Book

[Mr. Willhoit]

Some of you have asked if we could read another book after 1984.
Since I was so impressed by your intrinsic motivation, I will let you
guys choose the next book(s). I am willing and hoping to have at the
most three reading circles, meaning three groups each reading a
different book. Research the books on the following list, and we will
have a discussion and choose the next book on March 21st. Also, if
there isn't a book on the list that you want to read in class, bring
your suggestions to class.

Animal Farm by George Orwell/The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest
Hemingway
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
The Stranger by Albert Camus

I would like to read either Animal Farm or Their Eyes Were Watching
God. I have tried to read Their Eyes Were Watching God, but it is
really hard to get in to and since we have all these reasing
assignments for 1984, it has been hard tp read it. Animal Farm was
read by 8th graders in one of my classes in Junior High when I was in
7th grade and I have always wanted to read it but have forgotten about
it.

I think that it wouls be awesome to read another book for class i
think its really fun and reading them the way that we do helps
everyone to get a better understanding of what the book is about! I
think that we should read their eyes are watching god because I have
tried reading that book a few times and i just havnt been able to
understand or get into it so maybe if i had to read it for class it
would be easier for me to get into it! I think that one flew over
the cuckoo's nest would also be a good book for us to read both are
would get our minds thinking and i think that almost everyone in the
class would enjoy one or the other!

I am not uch of a reader, so the books that are chosen will be fine.
As I read the list of books, I would have to chose Their Eyes Were
Watching God and The Stranger. The titles of these two books sound
very interesting to me. I just don't want a book to be hard to read,
such as 1984. It took a while for me to get at least interested.
Still I am trying to understand the story. I would like a book that
has an interesting introduction, one that will get my attention.

I am sorry but we need to read "Fight club"


thats all I have to say

I would enjoy reading Animal Farm, because it was written by George
Orwell, and I am enjoying 1984, so I would like to add another one of
George Orwell's books to my collection and I have actually never even
heard of the book before, so it would be fun to read something
different. To be completely honest, the title kind of intrigues me as
well. It sounds like a children's book, obviously it's not, but it
sounds interesting.

I would like to read other book! There are many options in this
forum, it is interesting
I have some ideas of book that any of u cant like is the " the Wheel
of Life" by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. This book is wonderful I identify a
lot with this book.Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, writes about her life, from
her idyllic childhood in Switzerland, through her marriage and
motherhood, to her achievements in medicine and psychiatry. She ends
with a contemplation of her own death, and her BELIEF THAT AT THE END
OF LIFE ONE MUST BE ABLE TO FEEL THAT ONE HAS MADA A DIFFERENCE IN THE
WORLD. the other is the "Blindness" by Jose Saramago. This book is
more interesting.. I'm sorry Mr. Willhoit. Especially recommend for
Jessi that he likes this kind of issues. demonstrates how in an
instant your right to see can be taken in an instant. However, in this
novel, blindness is metaphorically related to 'seeing' the truth
beyond our own bias opinions. Saramago describes in full detail the
importance of the government's involvement in the lives of the blind
victims, which allows the reader to understand and recognize our own
societal misfortunes in health care, as well as other world
problems. :]
