I have to say that Mrs. Coursen picked some pretty good books for us to read over the summer. I actually did enjoy Huckleberry Finn even though some of my classmates seriously hated it, and I'm really enjoying A Separate Peace (which i just started today).
I'm only on Chapter 6 but I really like it so far. It's deep and it makes you question people's behavior's and why they do things. Gene is probably my favorite (out of the only two characters I know so far) because I can relate to him more than Finny. At first I thought I wouldn't like this book because it sounded so overly depressing, but now it doesn't really seem that way anymore...though i hope it doesn't get super depressing later (it's American literature after all) I'm glad I read a WWII book before reading this one because I can see the stark differences between a soldier's life and a civilian's life right now, and the differences between two countries in the same war. I think I'll really like this book, or at least, i hope so!
