A Tale of Two Cities: Summer Reading Project.

Some of you guys might like this.

For my 11th grade year, I was to annotate 3 books to be counted as the first grade of the year for my English IV Honors class. This was what I turned in to my teacher for my final book’s annotation.:

A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens

       If my annotations have been read in the order that I have written them, you have probably noticed the the rather unimpressive job I have done annotating the last two selections.  The reason for this is because I find annotating literature astronomically tedious, while pulling the reader away from the intended style, theme, and literary merit that the aurthor has so diligently strived to create for you, the reader, to enjoy.

       Thus, in accordance to my views on mandatory literary annotation, I will not be providend annotations for A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens.  Having never read it before, I plan on giving my full attention, devoid of this pencil and pad of paper, to what many consider one of the greatest pieces of literature ever written.

       I give my deepest apologies if I have come across as being rebelious or if you think that I will be a problem in the classroom. And I also do not expect anything but a failing grade for this, having accepted the fact that you are to grade what we give you, and what I have given you is not satisfactory.

Can’t wait till school starts,
