So the assignment is what...?

Dear Joshua, I mentioned to you about a week ago that I had to start a blog for my Adolescent in American Literature class (essentially Young Adult Lit). I also told you that you would be my focal point. Lucky you! I'm supposed to write reviews of books we read in class and I intend on completing my assignments. But in doing so, I plan on reading books that either you would enjoy or learn from. Yes, Josh, I plan on teaching you. I know you love Tolkien (as do I) and Chreighton (can't say the same for that one) but let me tell you a secret: Hobbits and wizards do not exist and dinosaurs no longer roam the earth (but if you ever get a chance to see their bones, I highly recommend it). What you do see is a lot of teenager crap. I'm talking about bad relationships, even worse breakups, exams, college applications, moody teachers, annoying big sisters (let's be honest here), and parents that can drive you nuts. What you could benefit from is some literature that you can relate to, take from and grow with. If you get a chance, email me what you think about the reviews and any cool books you read on your own, etc. and I'll post the emails here as well. Let's hope that mom and dad's computer can handle all of this. You know that thing is 12 years old, right? Your Annoying Big Sister, Paige
