As you all know, that 30-hour transcontinental trip buys lots of reading time. So I packed Ethan Frome, by Edith Wharton and finished it just as we crossed from Canada into the US. It's a short book, but one of those dark novels that reminds you frequently that it will end badly no matter how many moments of light and high hopes come along. I may have read it before, but I definitely had forgotten the ending. Wow. But I won't give it away because we do have enough copies to read it as a class this year, and it has often been mentioned on the AP exam.
Today I'm heading to the library for something that is hopefully a little lighter. Tomorrow, I'm off to Kentucky to score 1200 AP English exams (at least the essay portions). So I am hoping to learn a lot and bring home some tools that will give you all an edge on the test.
Sleep late for me!
