It is actually very hard to pick one favorite piece of what we have read. I am an avid reader, and my room at home is like a library, with 2 6-foot bookshelves that are completely filled and overflowing onto my floor. I enjoyed the Craft narrative a lot, even though I am not used to that style of writing. I liked that fact that it was kind of ADD in terms of the actual story of their escape, that he would pause and talk about some other trials and tribulations faced by others of his race at that time. I liked the storyline too, how two people who loved each other so much that they were willing to risk their lives to escape the tyranny that kept them from loving fully. I’m a sucker for love.
I also enjoyed ‘The Sunflower’, although it is not something I would have picked out for myself at the library or bookstore. I really enjoyed our discussions in class about the theme of forgiveness and the limits and rules of it.
I had a hard time putting down ‘The Secret Life of Bees’, and it was a definitely enjoyable read. It’s books like that that make me want to take more literature classes. I do enjoy books with a strong female character, not necessarily the damsel in distress, but one who is independent and thinks for herself. Her courage in the face of her father and the truth of her mother is inspiring.
