• Semester Exam

• Winter Break Reading Assignment: You will choose a novel from a list of four and read it. You will have a book discussion with me in January. I'm giving you the assignment now so that you can choose a book and check it out from the library or order it and have time to read it while school is out. 

           In the library (ask at the desk):
                   Grendel by John Gardner
                   The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien
                   Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

           Purchase yourself or read on PDF:
                   The Awakening by Kate Chopin (here is a PDF version)

           Glossaries for military terms in The Things They Carried:

• Military Terms of the Modern Era
• Wiki list of U.S. Government and Military Terms
• Glossary of Terms for The Things They Carried
