Novel Speak

Looking forward to a great week of literary bonding with my students. 'Tis a pure delight to moderate their Socratic approach to deconstructing classic lit. Never ceases to amaze me that 16 and 17-year-old students have such profound insights after such a limited existence on this swiftly twirling planet.

Not sure which is a more dystopian novel, 1984 or Sister Carrie. Perhaps the current readers in my junior and senior classes should get together for a town-hall meeting on such quandries. Could be a life-changing discussion.
