The Odyssey is probably the hardest.
He's probably not allowed to say.
I think the Odyssey is pretty memorable though. More so than the scarlet letter at least
So I should start with the Odyssey? I'm glad, it was the one I'm looking forward to the most.
>The Odyssey is probably the hardest.
The most fun as well
Senior in HS, this is for an AP literature class
this is a high school syllabus? why was mine so shitty and scant back in the day... sure yours isn't amazing but it is at least something. i must say i'm surprised they're confident enough to assign the odyssey with today's youth being who they are and such.
It's probably translated by emily wilson and they're only required to read fragments

Did you go to a private prep school which nowadays has a $40,000 plus per year tuition, and multiple doctorates as teachers?
Maya Angelou? Jesus Christ...
Yea, not looking forward to that one. Female lit teachers are gonna female
I usually fricked off in English lit in high school and still managed to get A's. Also my class was full of babes. One of the perks of being a guy who is good with English literature. Back then though, not much woke stuff. Just the classics usually.
I know Why the Caged Bird Sings is probably my favorite on the list after The Odyssey. It paints a very stark picture of her shitty little rural town and the black and white community interacting within it, the first half is very enthralling.
Thanks for the insight, I was worried I wouldn't like it.
1. The scarlet letter
2.I know why...
3.The grapes of wrath
4. Native son
5. The Odyssey
Am I the only one who doesn't get why so many people love Native Son? I didn't have any trouble reading it in hs, but I just felt it was a weak narrative produced by a black man which did nothing ultimately except show that joggers gonna jog. I mean its entire argument could have been made much more convincing, but it wasn't. The guy who people thought would kill and rape women ended up sexually assaulting or raping two women and killing both of them out of brutish incompetence. I almost did a double take on it being written by a black man at all.
He was a native son after all.
The sad thing is that the people competent enough to assign good reading material aren't the ones who go into education
>angelou next to homer
Fricking americans man
Wokeism is actually a Swedish phenomenon
Maya angelou

Don't read any of them (except the Odyssey, obviously), and don't take the AP exam (unless it's paid for by your school). It's a waste of time, and it doesn't even really help you. You might get out of one (1) of the 40-50 classes you'll take in uni (and not even a hard one at that). Read better stuff on your own time and urinate on the test. Or at least salivate on it and walk out of the testing center with your middle finger to god. Listen to no one. Actually, don't even pursue higher education at all; it's as much a waste of time and resources as reading Maya Angelou for 4–5 years.
God I fricking hate English lit teachers. They all universally have such shit taste in literature.
I got the highest dissertation grade and highest GPA for English Lit that my university had seen for 20 years and I read like two books that were required over the course of my time there. I'm never sure if I should feel proud or ashamed.
Proud
Education is a joke
If the books were good, you should feel ashamed. If you the books were bad, you shouldn't care. Sounds like you're brainlet though.
