Hello, I've been gone a while ever since school started back up. I'll try to jump back in when I have the time and energy. School's been a little too taxing. I'm taking AP classes and a great contemporary literature class. The teacher's also my English Honors teacher but I don't have English this semester. She's an excellent teacher but when she found out I didn't like a novel by a certain author, I guess I lost ground with her. Then when she found out how much I liked Salinger, she, in a way, questioned that because I didn't like the other author she liked. Why am I telling you this? I don't know. The literature we're reading in the contemporary lit is mainly works by female authors photocopied from the the New Yorker. Right now I have to read A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley for that contemporary lit class. I've only read 50 or so pages so far but I would enjoy any comments or help I might need later on. I really love school. I just have to find a date for Homecoming. ;) - Carl Robert Anderson born 01/01/83 at 2:52 AM Attending Chautauqua Lake Central High School in Western NY as a Junior. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
