SPEECHES WERE WOW

[Matthew]

A great book if you want to see some speeches from Martin Luther King Jr. and some poems by William Shakespeare.

[Mark Howard · Rating 4 out of 5]

As this volume is included in the core curriculum it should be required reading for everyone. Not sure how or why this particular collection was chosen but I suppose I’ll have to trust the experts. I didn’t recognize all the authors’ names. Those names I did recognize were not represented by their most notable works. They were all noteworthy and enjoyable nonetheless.

I must confess to having skipped the poetry section. I just don’t get poetry! When set to music, poetry can elicit a profoundly emotional response but in written form it just seems pretentious in the extreme. The intentional breaking of grammatical rules and seemingly arbitrary line breaks makes most poetic verse not only unreadable for me but completely incomprehensible.

Dr.Heidegger's Experimnet: 3.75 stars
God Sees the Truth, But Waits: 2.75 stars

These are the only stories we read in class and for homework in the anthology, but if we end up reading more I'll end up adding onto this. Since school is on break until January 7th, so I don't know if we're continuing this in the new year.
