5 SELECTIONS FOR SUMMER 2018 AP LITERATURE READING NONFICTION SET TEXT All students are responsible for reading the assigned portions of this and completing the assigned notes. How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster A lively and entertaining introduction to literature and literary basics, including symbols, themes and contexts, that shows you how to make your everyday reading experience more rewarding and enjoyable. While many books can be enjoyed for their basic stories, there are often deeper literary meanings interwoven in these texts. How to Read Literature Like a Professor helps us to discover those hidden truths by looking at literature with the eyes and the literary codes-of the ultimate professional reader, the college professor. From Amazon.com FICTION SELECTIONS All students are responsible for reading one of these and completing the assigned literary analysis. Great Expectations by Charles Dickens Great Expectations is up there for me with the world's greatest novels. Howard Jacobson. Great Expectations charts the course of orphan Pip's life as it is transformed by a vast, mysterious inheritance. A terrifying encounter with the escaped convict Magwitch in a graveyard on the wild Kent marshes; a summons to meet the bitter, decrepit Miss Havisham and her beautiful, cold-hearted ward Estella at Satis House; the sudden generosity of a mysterious benefactor - these change the orphaned Pip's life forever, and he eagerly abandons his humble station as an apprentice to blacksmith Joe Gargery, beginning a new life as a gentleman. Charles Dickens's haunting late novel depicts Pip's education and development through adversity as he discovers the true nature of his identity, and his 'great expectations'. From Amazon.com The Color Purple by Alice Walker Superb... A work to stand beside literature of any time and place. San Francisco Chronicle Published to unprecedented acclaim, The Color Purple established Alice Walker as a major voice in modern fiction. This is the story of two sisters one a missionary in Africa and the other a child wife living in the South who sustain their loyalty to and trust in each other across time, distance, and silence. Beautifully imagined and deeply compassionate, this classic novel of American literature is rich with passion, pain, inspiration, and an indomitable love of life. From Amazon.com
6 The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini A story of fierce cruelty and fierce yet redeeming love. New York Times The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father s servant, caught in the tragic sweep of history, The Kite Runner transports readers to Afghanistan at a tense and crucial moment of change and destruction. A powerful story of friendship, it is also about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption; and an exploration of the power of fathers over sons their love, their sacrifices, their lies. From Amazon.com The Memory Keeper s Daughter by Kim Edwards Anyone would be struck by the extraordinary power and sympathy of The Memory Keeper s Daughter. The Washington Post Kim Edwards s stunning novel begins on a winter night in 1964 in Lexington, Kentucky, when a blizzard forces Dr. David Henry to deliver his own twins. His son, born first, is perfectly healthy, but the doctor immediately recognizes that his daughter has Down syndrome. Rationalizing it as a need to protect Norah, his wife, he makes a split second decision that will alter all of their lives forever. He asks his nurse, Caroline, to take the baby away to an institution and never to reveal the secret. Instead, she disappears into another city to raise the child herself. So begins this beautifully told story that unfolds over a quarter of a century in which these two families, ignorant of each other, are yet bound by the fateful decision made that winter night long ago.. From Amazon.com Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy The greatest tragic writer among English novelists Virginia Woolf Jude Fawley s hopes of a university education are lost when he is trapped into marrying the earthy Arabella, who later abandons him. Moving to the town of Christminster where he finds work as a stonemason, Jude meets and falls in love with Sue Bridehead, a sensitive, freethinking "New Woman." Refusing to marry merely for the sake of religious convention, Jude and Sue decide instead to live together, but they are shunned by society and poverty soon threatens to ruin them. Jude the Obscure, Hardy s last novel, caused a public furor when it was first published, with its fearless and challenging exploration of class and sexual relationships. From Amazon.com
