A Note On: My Summer Reading Essays

These four short essays I had written for my junior year AP english class. Although the are lacking in , well, everything (especially the one on Ceremony), I posted them so that I could show my progess as a writer during my junior year of AP english.
Ceremony, by Leslie Marmon Silko, was a difficlut novel to comprehend due to the time shifts. Also, the fact that we were unable to discuss the book in class added to the diffuclty.
Wide Sargasso Sea, by Jean Rhys, is one of my new favorite books. The idea was taken by the novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte bronte. Rhys took the character of Bertha Mason and created a story that followed Berth'a life from her point of view. She established the roots of the mysterious character, Bertha Mason, and created an explanation for what might have driven her insane.
