first its good to see that you got the website back in order! hahaha.

second, i picked this book from Mrs. christansen’s old, long list of outside reading books just to look at the different books that i can do for this review. and so i just came across the color purple and started reading it because it did sound interesting.

The Color Purple is an epistolary novel that I enjoyed teaching (back in the day, when I had Seniors), but this is a “school book,” if you know what I mean. Don’t get me wrong–I think it is excellent, but I wonder if you are choosing it out of habit, instead of picking something outside of the high school English Lit. canon that interests you.

would the book

The Color Purple, by Alice Walker

be a good book to do the review?

Lil’ Bao Dao,
You can find my Reading Suggestions on this page:

But by no means do you need to read a book from it. But you may not read “whatever” for a review–it needs to be appropriate for our level. Usually I like to approve a book if a student is unsure whether or not it is right for the assignment. The Mira Loma library just updated their fiction section with a lot of new, contemporary, and interesting titles. This is a good resource, and our librarian is very helpful if you want to find one that you will enjoy reading.

mr quale,

is there a “list” of books in which we do book reviews for extra credit??? or can we just read whatever book we want for our book review?

okay thanks!

I read this comic, and remembered learning the punchline term in Quale’s class.

Oh My GOD!! I just looked on the “teachers” page, and the picture of the desk “thats older than the teacher” carved on it. I carved that!!! Ha Ha!! Hopefully my scholarly-social commentary will be noticed by school administration.. in the good way.
