1. Classic Literature Reading List for Middle School Students
1. Classic Literature Reading List for Middle School Students By: LuAnn Schindler Many middle school students enjoy the connection with a young adult novel, but classic literature never goes out of style. Several humanities organizations have established a classic literature reading list that emphasizes the importance of reading timeless books. This list introduces new characters and alien worlds to the middle school set. Several of these books are commonly taught in middle school English classes, so adding them to a summer reading list can give your child an advantage when they come up during the school year.

And When I Die and Other Prose
And When I Die and Other Prose A Thesis Presented for the Master of Arts Degree The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Ralph Brandon Buckner III December 2010 Copyright © 2010 by Ralph Brandon Buckner III The Graduate School of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga All rights reserved. ii Dedication: The chapter of the novel, the short stories, and the essays would not have been possible without: My family, for their love and for their neuroses. And especially to my little sister, Shipley, I miss her very much. iii Abstract This thesis consists of the first chapter of my novel, two short stories, and two nonfiction essays. These pieces explore the tensions of family, love, and sexual orientation. The most prominent theme that connects each work is the main character’s search for control in his life. In the introduction to this thesis, I critically analyze three novels that focus on characters trying to regain stability in their lives after the death of someone close to them, and then I have discussed how these novels shaped my thesis in terms of theme, mood, and conflict. iv Table of Contents Introduction 1 First Chapter of And When I Die 11 Windup 24 Almost Here 37 Shattered Machine 53 Blackout 64 Bibliography 75 v Introduction In the introduction to my thesis, I will focus on three novels that portray protagonists coping with the aftermath of a loved one’s death and the reconstruction of their lives. These themes resonate with my thesis as my protagonists search for a sense of control in their lives, either with dealing with death, love, or relationships.
