Re: Required Reading

[nonnymouscawitz]

In the eighth grade we were assigned 'A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court' as summer reading. I have no memory of that book beyond how much I HATED it. It was the first book I can remember refusing to finish.

I also had to read 'The Awakening' in AP English and couldn't stand it, though looking back that may be because 16 year old me had no concept of 'values dissonance' and was harshly judging the main character for not conforming to my modern opinion of what she should have been.

'Number The Stars' is still one of the best damn books I've ever read, though, and I was the only one in my class who enjoyed 'Great Expectations'.

Number the Stars is the book that got me into reading. I love it to bits and still have the copy my dad bought me at the school's book fair.

Do you mean Kate Chopin's The Awakening? The sexism in the book is the point... unless you mean something else that I am forgetting?

My biggest problem with The Awakening was that the main character wasn't allowed to be feminist and survive, even though the author herself was feminist and survived. I don't know if that was cowardice or pragmatism--Chopin as an author was hard enough to market, and having a main character like herself would have made it even harder. (Though after Desiree's Baby and The Story of an Hour, I do think someone needed to tell Chopin to stop killing off characters every time she didn't know what else to do with them.)

Yes, that one. Tiny sixteen year old me was very frustrated because I felt like she didn't do enough to combat the sexism. Adult me understands now that of course the woman existing before modern feminism did not respond the way a modern feminist would.
