What is a good classic novel to write a report on?

Question

I was thinking Grapes of Wrath, but it has to be a novel from any era (like from 490-2000).

Any good, classic novels would be great.

Answer 1

I would recommend As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner or East of Eden by John Steinbeck. Both beautiful books. And the nice part is they were both Oprah books. She has all her notes still online and she has the best book summary notes anywhere. I would also recommend The Old Man and The Sea.

They're, Their, There - Three Different Words.

Careful or you may wind up in my next novel.

Answer 2

The Three Musketeers (1844) Alexandre Dumas

Les Miserables (1862) Victor Hugo

The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald

Answer 3

"A Clockwork Orange," by Anthony Burgess. Rather different from the Kubrick movie in that Alex, the main character, is only 15 years old at the start. The beginning can be a bit confusing because Burgess basically creates his own Russian-based slang language (try to get an edition of the book with the vocabulary translations in the back)...but as you read on comprehension becomes much easier as you enter into his terrifyingly prophetic vision of life under a totalitarian regime.

Answer 4

You want to write a report on something that has recently caused a stir in the southeastern US by the African Americans? Write about the story of Huckleberry Finn and the use of the "N" word usage in the storyline. Report if the word is offensive at the time of the publishing to about the 1970's. Show if there was complaints as prominent as today's. If not, why? Challenging enough?

Answer 5

Lord of Flies is easy read but a little long

Brave New World is sci-fi like but easy to read with lots to write on

To Kill a Mockingbird has lots of racial issues to write on and based on true people, also great movie too (you could compare A TIME TO KILL movie to it as it is loosely based on this book). however, everyoen writes on this book.

Catcher in the Rye (great teen angst book, easy read)

The Pearl (short but perhaps hard to write on)

Answer 9

something through way of William Faulkner, a great Southern author who set multiple his demanding and hard novels interior the "antebellum" South. "The Sound and the Fury" is his maximum confusing paintings, written in 4 fantastic factors of view, one from a mentally challenged youthful guy's attitude, besides as from a personality who commits suicide. that is extremely complicated, yet confusing, possibly extra so than you're in search of for. notwithstanding Faulkner has many works. His novel, "The Unvanquished" which seems truly hard to locate, is a easier tale which depicts somewhat one's knowledge with the tail end of the Civil war, his reaction to the emancipation of slaves, and the shifting emotional sands that are ubiquitous in southern relationships. coping with Faulkner's works ought to provoke your instructor, i imagine.
