Here is a Literature List of the books the Rhetoric Ladies read or will read this year in their Year 4 studies. I have included my own opinions on some of my favorites and my not so favorites! Add your thoughts on your favorites in the comment section below or comment with the title of one that you are excited to dive into in the coming months!
Unit 1:
The Portable American Realism Reader
The Metamorphis
The Cherry Orchard
All Quiet on the Western Front
Animal Farm This was a particular favorite! Not only for the historical references to the Russian Revolution but also for the whimsical characters that readers of any age can relate to.
The Poetry Anthology (selected poems)
Unit 2:
The Great Gatsby I was surprised by how much I liked this novel. I listened to it read by Jake Gyllenhaal on Audible.com. There was a steady mix of history, romance with heartbreak, and action.
*The Pearl
The Glass Menagerie I eagerly look forward to revisiting this play! Tennessee Williams' words transcend generations and make the story relatable to every reader of any age.
The Old Man and The Sea I have read this before in another program and it was not a favorite! The short sentences made the story flow seem broken.
The Chosen
Unit 3:
The Crucible
Siddhartha
To Kill a Mockingbird
Waiting for Godot
Fahrenheit 451
Unit 4:The Hobbit
I, Robot My mom and I are looking forward to reading this book after watching the movie several times!
Citizens of the Galaxy
Whether enjoying a book while curled up with a tall glass of iced sweet tea, or listening to a celebrated actor reading it aloud as you travel back and forth to activities....these books will expand your knowledge by challenging you to connect the literary work with the historical time period we are diving headfirst into and aligning it with God's purpose.
Eagerly turning the page~
