Presentations

I just wanted to say good job today for everyone’s presentations. I think that explaining the book is hard for everyone because as an audience we aren’t able to experience the way the words effect us or make us feel. Everything can seen boring when someone is standing up in front of the class just telling us what happened but everyone has been doing a great job bringing back the audience with their arguments for why we should vote for them. I really liked how everyone is using the literary terms that we learned in class to explain why it is a good choice. It a makes me be able to assume more about the book and why you liked it so much. Also, I like it how everyone is saying what we can do with the book, example cast it, or why it would make such good conversation. Everyone seems really into their books and that makes me want to read them over the break. I think right now my vote is for The Road because it seemed to have an Brief and Wondrous tone. I don’t think that it would be everyone’s favorite but it would give us something to talk about and also pick apart in class. It sounds like it will make us work and give the class room for interpretation and possibly lots of argument about what everything means. Plus if there is a movie coming out that would make for a cool new aspect. The class could read the book, then watch the movie and compare them, even if it was just for a mid- term or extra credit since it will probably still be in theaters.
