1 Christ the King Cathedral School Required Summer Reading Program Students entering 10 th Grade Imagine a football player who never picks up a ball or lifts any weights until the first game of the fall. Imagine a dancer who never practices until the week before the recital. Imagine a car mechanic who never practices putting a motor together until a customer comes. Does the word unsuccessful come to mind? Here at Christ the King High School, we know that students needs some time to rest and relax for the summer. However, we also know that a student who stops practicing the gains they have made in reading and thinking will lose the momentum they have achieved in the past year. Therefore, we require summer reading of all students entering grades 9 through 12 in the coming year as well as assignments that will help students further prepare for college no matter their interests. All students need to read two novels or nonfiction works over the summer and complete the accompanying assignments by August 17, the first one-half day of school in the fall. At that time there will be additional tests and writing assignments using this summer work. If you read any extra novels from the choice lists and complete the additional assignments, you will receive extra credit. 10 th grade Required Novels Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya The Life of PI by Yann Martel Additional Choices for Extra Credit: The Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie Death Comes for the Archbishop by Willa Cather 1

I wish you had done everything the teacher told you, and then you might be here right now to go fishing with me. I was walking down the street last week, and I saw that you were running down the street to talk to me. However, I was so frustrated about everything going on around here, I just ran off. Aunt Polly keeps telling me to be polite. I try and I try, but somehow things don t seem to go just right. At least when you were here, I knew that I wasn t the only one in trouble. When are you coming home, Tom? Yours truly, Huck Finn 5
6 Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya Exquisite prose and wondrous storytelling have helped make Rudolfo Anaya the father of Chicano literature in English. Indeed, Anaya's tales fairly shimmer with the haunting beauty and richness of his culture. The winner of the Pen Center West Award for Fiction for his unforgettable novel Alburquerque, Anaya is perhaps best loved for his classic bestseller, Bless Me, Ultima... Antonio Marez is six years old when Ultima comes to stay with his family in New Mexico. She is a curandera, one who cures with herbs and magic. Under her wise wing, Tony will probe the family ties that bind and rend him, and he will discover himself in the magical secrets of the pagan past- a mythic legacy as palpable as the Catholicism of Latin America. And at each life turn there is Ultima, who delivered Tony into the world...and will nurture the birth of his soul. Reading this will help a person determine the difference between culture and Catholicism. The Life of Pi by Yann Martel The son of a zookeeper, Pi Patel has an encyclopedic knowledge of animal behavior and a fervent love of stories. When Pi is sixteen, his family emigrates from India to North America aboard a Japanese cargo ship, along with their zoo animals bound for new homes. The ship sinks. Pi finds himself alone in a lifeboat, his only companions a hyena, an orangutan, a wounded zebra, and Richard Parker, a 450-pound Bengal tiger. Soon the tiger has dispatched all but Pi, whose fear, knowledge, and cunning allow him to coexist with Richard Parker for 227 days while lost at sea. When they finally reach the coast of Mexico, Richard Parker flees to the jungle, never to be seen again. The Japanese authorities who interrogate Pi refuse to believe his story and press him to tell them "the truth." After hours of coercion, Pi tells a second story, a story much less fantastical, much more conventional--but is it more true? 6
7 Death Comes for the Archbishop by Willa Cather There is something epic--and almost mythic--about this sparsely beautiful novel by Willa Cather, although the story it tells is that of a single human life, lived simply in the silence of the desert. In 1851 Father Jean Marie Latour comes as the Apostolic Vicar to New Mexico. What he finds is a vast territory of red hills and tortuous arroyos, American by law but Mexican and Indian in custom and belief. In the almost forty years that follow, Latour spreads his faith in the only way he knows-- gently, although he must contend with an unforgiving landscape, derelict and sometimes openly rebellious priests, and his own loneliness. One of these events Cather gives us an indelible vision of life unfolding in a place where time itself seems suspended. And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie In the novel, ten people are enticed into coming to an island under different pretexts, e.g. offers of employment or to enjoy a late summer holiday, or to meet with old friends. All have been complicit in the death(s) of other human beings but either escaped justice or committed an act that was not subject to legal sanction. The guests are charged with their respective "crimes" by a gramophone recording after dinner the first night and informed that they have been brought to the island to pay for their actions. They are the only people on the island, and cannot escape due to the distance from the mainland and the inclement weather, yet gradually all ten are killed in turn, in a manner that seems to parallel the ten deaths in the nursery rhyme. Nobody else seems to be left alive on the island by the 7
8 apparently last death. A confession in the form of a postscript to the novel, unveils how the killings took place and who was responsible. It is Christie's best-selling novel with over 100 million copies sold, also making it the world's best-selling mystery, and one of the best-selling books of all time. Publications International lists the novel as the seventh best-selling title. **Please note: These books are available online at places like Amazon.com for pennies if one chooses to purchase a used book. They will also be available at Barnes and Noble in town. Students may borrow these books from the public library or from past students. The Pearl is available online for free. Please contact me at any time during the summer with questions at my school address: cholley@ctkcathedralschool.org ****Book descriptions are from Amazon.com. ***Please note also: If a student chooses to read one of the extra credit books, they must also complete two of the activities from the graphic organizer to receive the extra credit. I will give the extra credit to help the student s grade at the end of the first nine weeks in whatever area I would determine to be most appropriate. This would also be dependent on the effort put into the assigned activities. Time Management If you will stick to the following guidelines, you will finish your books with plenty of time to spare. 1. If you read two chapters a day of Bless Me, Ultima beginning July 1, you will complete the book by July Then if you complete four chapters a day of Life of Pi beginning July 12, you will complete the book by August 5. The chapters in this book are extremely short. 3. Beginning August 1, you would then have time to work on the assigned projects for one of the books. 8
