I spent the past few days in AP training, and I'm really excited about all the great literature we will study while building our skills up for college and the AP exam. I want to be 100% sure of the major works you've studied throughout high school, so I am going to make a list below of novels and plays. Please review the list and let me know if I'm missing something, or I have something listed you have not studied. 11th Grade: The Crucible The Great Gatsby To Kill A Mockingbird Catcher in the Rye 10th Grade: Of Mice and Men The Pearl Our Town Julius Caesar 12 Angry Men 9th Grade: Anthem Great Expectations Romeo & Juliet ???The Red Badge of Courage??? (Was this added after you left 9th grade?) ???Raisin in the Sun??? (Was this added after you left 9th grade?) Class,

It has many external conflicts and is somewhat suspenseful. It has a little bit of romance which makes it soft and somewhat relatable to the real world since most of the aspects and conflicts are not possible in the real world. It is easy to read and isn't too long so it shouldn't bore the average reading person. I recommend this book because I think it has many aspects that are pleasant for the reader.

This is shown in many of the internal and external conflicts throughout the book. One way it is shown is through the fact that Matt does not give up on his training to become an astralnaut despite his slim chances of making it. Another example is that Matt loves Kate and never gives up on her and him being together even when he learns she is engaged and that her parents would never let her marry him.

Kate gets engaged to a man named James, but doesn't want to be engaged to him. Matt becomes jealous over nothing for she plans to break the engagement when they get back to earth. When they head down to earth at thousands of miles per hour, Kate rips the ring off and admits her love for Matt and he admits his love for her.

Then the main characters are invited on a journey to outer space, which means they are now going to their home city, Lionsgate City, Canada where they spend their time training and preparing to go to space. Then they go to space where they study the wonders of space and learn of the many misteries in the vast emptiness. The time period of the book is not specified.
