The final line of the newspaper clipping shares the impression of a sixteen-year-old girl. Do you agree/ disagree with her opinion on individuals and certain pieces of literature? Can you think of another book from last year's reading selection where students were as divided?
I agree with the sixteen- year- old girl. She says "I liked how hypocritical he was. Because that's how people are. People who say it's depressing just don't get it. It's a coming-of-age book." By her second sentence, you understand that she can make the connection between the book and real life. "People... just don't get it..." I also agree with because unless you realize what the author is trying to show/ make a connection with, of course they won't understand. Last year we read a book which had divided reviews. Of Mice and Men was this book, especially the final scene where George kills Lennie.
