  • Summer Reading 2021
    Shady Side Academy Senior School Summer Reading 2021 This summer, you will have the opportunity to read two (2) books before returning to classes in the fall. You will read one book to be discussed in your Fall term English class, and one to be discussed with your Advisory group. English Book: See the list below for your Form’s text. You should be prepared to discuss it in your English class, so be sure to read and annotate it in such a way that you have some knowledge of it in your working memory when you are back on campus; your fall-term English teacher will give you more details about what you will do with that knowledge when you meet him/her on the first day of classes. Above all, enjoy the reading! Advisory Book: All Form III students will read the same book; students in Forms IV, V, and VI can find their texts listed below under their individual advisor’s name. You should plan on being prepared to discuss this book with your advisory group during an extended Designated Rooms meeting during the first week of classes. Your advisor may also ask you to write up something on your text in preparation for that discussion session, perhaps in a Google document of some kind; stay tuned for details when the opening of classes draws nearer. In the meantime, please enjoy the selection your advisor has made. View the Table of Contents on the next page to see the assigned books per form and per advisory.

  • Tinkers: 10Th Anniversary Edition a Novel by Paul Harding with a Foreword by Marilynne Robinson
    BELLEVUE LITERARY PRESS Reading Group Guide Tinkers: 10th Anniversary Edition A novel by Paul Harding with a foreword by Marilynne Robinson 208 pgs Hardcover | $26.99 | ISBN: 978-1-942658-59-7 Trade Paperback | $16.99 | ISBN: 978-1-942658-60-3 eBook | $16.99 | ISBN: 978-1-942658-61-0 Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction American Library Association Notable Book American Booksellers Association Indie Next List for Reading Groups & Indies Choice Honor Award New York Times Bestseller “A powerful celebration of life in which a New England father and son, through suffering and joy, transcend their imprisoning lives and offer new ways of perceiving the world and mortality.” —Pulitzer Prize citation “Tinkers is truly remarkable. It achieves and sustains a unique fusion of language and perception. Its fine touch plays over the textured richnesses of very modest lives, evoking again and again a frisson of deep recognition, a sense of primal encounter with the brilliant, elusive world of the senses. It confers on the reader the best privilege fiction can afford, the illusion of ghostly proximity to other human souls.” —Marilynne Robinson, author of Gilead and What Are We Doing Here? “Tinkers is not just a novel—though it is a brilliant novel. It’s an instruction manual on how to look at nearly everything. Harding takes the back off to show you the miraculous ticking of the natural world, the world of clocks, generations of family, an epileptic brain, the human soul. In astounding language sometimes seemingly struck by lightning, sometimes as tight and complicated as clockwork, Harding shows how enormous fiction can be, and how economical.

  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

  • Reading Yann Martel's Life of Pi
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR INNOVATIVE RESEARCH IN MULTIDISCIPLINARY FIELD ISSN: 2455-0620 Volume - 6, Issue - 8, Aug – 2020 Monthly, Peer-Reviewed, Refereed, Indexed Journal with IC Value: 86.87 Impact Factor: 6.719 Received Date: 01/08/2020 Acceptance Date: 18/08/2020 Publication Date: 31/08/2020 A Saga of Human Resilience: Reading Yann Martel’s Life of Pi Ankita Pandey Research Scholar, Department of English and MEL University of Lucknow, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India Email - [email protected] Abstract: Resilience is all about shifting our perceptions, changing our responses, and experiencing real growth. It is well defined by an American author Elizabeth Edwards “Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it's less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you've lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that's good”(“Resilience Remembered”, 2010). Resilient people often have a good sense of humour, patience, action-oriented approach, faith, optimism, tolerance of negative effect, adaptability to change etc. Whether an individual or a group of people, we have numerous examples of people who proved themselves and started their lives again after being badly affected by hazardous situations. Literature has promiscuous stories that deal with human resilience and one of them is Yann Martel’s masterpiece Life of Pi that was published in 2001. Life of Pi is a story of an Indian Tamil boy named Piscine Molitor Patel who was later nicknamed as “Pi”. The story of the novel revolves around the life of Pi who faced a shipwreck and had to survive on a lifeboat in the Pacific Ocean with a Bengal Tiger for 227 days.
