Since I am almost done with high school (I honestly can't believe I'm a senior!!) I thought I would share my favorite reads. Honestly, some of the books I have read for school have been so life changing and I will be reading some again down the road. So, here are a few of my favorites!
1. The Poisonwood Bible: This is such a great novel! It is super long, but the author has great points that she makes on many topics throughout the book, including women's rights. Yay for feminism! I also think Kingsolver is a great storyteller. Every detail is described so beautifully and I seriously love taking it all in.
2. A Farewell to Arms: I was never a huge Hemingway fan till I read this book. I think the story is great and there is a lot of symbolism, which is really fun to point out. It is also a love story, so I was automatically hooked haha!
3. The Bean Trees: Another Kingsolver read, this book is great. Kingsolver talks a lot about women's rights in this novel and it is another great, descriptive story.
4. Pride and Prejudice: Jane Austen is such a classic author and this is, by far, my favorite book of hers. I really relate to the protagonist, Elizabeth. Honestly, she has the same personality as me and I completely see my life being that way.
5. Native Son: Definitely different from all the other books I have listed above, but definitely just as good. This story centers around the issue with racism in Chicago and racism as a whole. It is a story of fighting for rights that should be given to everyone and has such a deep moral meaning!
What are some of your high school reads?
