This Summer English

I have never been in honors English before so I wasn't really sure how this summer stuff would really work. But, I have done really well in just normal English the past two years in high school. I would say I did pretty good doing the posts this summer. I looked over some of my other classmates posts to. I see that some of them can think more in depth than me but I think they have had more practice doing that in the honors English classes they have had already in the summer. Most of the blogs look like they had a little more insight than me but I'd say I did a very good job for myself so I am proud. I know I was being a little slow and saving it all for the end of summer. I know now that, that was a not a smart decision. I mean it is 11:50 the night before school and I have one more blog to do. I did read the books throughout the summer but for some reason I saved the blogs because I thought they would go fast. Ha oh boy was I wrong. The questions you picked us to answer really made me think really hard in a way I have never thought before. The author can really cram a lot into a book without you realizing it. All the symbolism and themes can be thought out and the story can become ten times as amazing as it was before you thought about the symbols. It made me realize how genius authors are and how they can word things in books to make them mean more than one thing. Like the title The Grapes of Wrath you had no idea what that meant until you read the story and same thing with The Catcher in the Rye. The author can slide a lot of things right under your nose without you realizing it until the book is over.
