Dear ladies and gentlemen of my English classes,
Welcome to my latest way of pestering you about literature and writing.
This week, you will receive your final novel for English III: either The Namesake, The Joy Luck Club, or Angela's Ashes. All exquisitely written pieces of American literature that have their origins in another country.
Just as The Grapes of Wrath followed a family's migration, each of these books also chronicles a family's immigration into the United States. We'll be discussing the theme of Journey that all these works share, The American Dream, as well as what it means to be "a stranger in a strange land."
This website is one way you will show me that you are reading and thinking about these themes as you go. Each of you will be expected to post comments and topics to this site in the next three weeks; in fact, part of your major grade for this novel will depend on your doing so.
More details to come in class.
Lurv,
LAR
