Status Updates From Four Classic American Novel...

The ending of Red Badge of courage ties the whole story togther. The beginning seems as if the author is rambling about how Henry tortures his conscience about running from the battle. But at the end when "the youth" becomes a man, when hefinds his place, "he became not a man but a member. He felt something of which he was a part - a regiment, an army, a cause, or a country - was in crisis.

The Red Badge of Courage is not my favorite in this collection.

What a snore. I can't wait to finish this book!

Skipped past the Scarlet Letter since I've already read that but I might reread it once I'm done with Huck Finn. Huck started off slow but it's starting to peak my interest now.
