Revisiting the Classics Project

Like most high school students, most of what I learned in the English classroom went in one ear and out the other.  We had more important things on our mind, after all, including boys, locker assignments, the football game and boys.  But now that I’m older and more mature, I’m going to revisit these literary standbys so as to gain a better appreciation for their worth and impact.  It’s time to rediscover what those English teachers were talking about.  I will be reading these books every fall and spring.  For this project, I’ve read:

• The Scarlet Letter by Nathanial Hawthorne
• Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
• The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
• The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
