trumpetman1288 Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 pretty good...gotta get summer reading done by the end of this week...and I haven't even started it. Quote
thesnareguy Posted August 14, 2006 Author Posted August 14, 2006 I had to "read" The Great Gatsby. Instead of "reading" it, I listened to it. Quote
TRtrumpet Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 Nice. Lol. I still havn't done mine... bleh. School doesen't start for me till the 22nd anyway. I really don't wanna go back but im ready to see everyone again. Summers getting boring when im not at band. Quote
MartinHorn Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 School tommorow, my Senior year, yet I feel no definite emotion about it, no dread, no excitement, just hey, another school year. Quote
Claritone Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 I have to read Great Gatsby tomorrow... Quote
trumpetman1288 Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 The Great Gatsby really isn't all the bad. It really does have a good story to it, but be sure you pay attention to all of the symbols used...especially characters. They symbolize parts of American society during the 1920s. I do admit, however, it seemed to drag at times. Quote
Aegis Fang Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 Life of Pi is the best book I've ever had to read for high school. And Indian *hindu, not native american* gets shipwrecked and lands himself in a boat with a bengal tiger, and the two survive at sea for 277 days. It goes over what the boy does to survive, etc. Fantastic book, brings back my faith in the books selected by the english departments in america =p Quote
MartinHorn Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 The Great Gatsby was ok, I did like some of the stuff in there, I'm excited about reading Dante's Inferno again, I've read it before and I really like it. Quote
Lustra.exe Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 the movie 'Life of Pi' is in preproduction right now. should be interesting/cool. i want to read it before it comes out. mostly just so i can say "the book was better, but the movie was pretty cool." Quote
TRtrumpet Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 M Night's stuff is good. I want to read the "Life of Pi" too. Quote
Lustra.exe Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 for some reason i though Shyamalan was directing it... but i check and he's not. so i fixed it. but yes, i really like his work. Quote
