Portsmouth Christian Academy at Dover Upper School Recommended Summer Reading June 2014 Portsmouth Christian Academy at Dover Upper School Recommended Summer Reading June 2014 Portsmouth Christian Academy’s Upper School library recommends the following books for your summer reading enjoyment and to keep your reading skills sharp for the coming year! You’ll find various genres represented here: current popular titles and classic works, fiction and nonfiction, Christian and secular titles: in other words, something for every reading interest, so enjoy! Note: Different books are appropriate for and appeal to different ages, reading levels, personalities, interests, beliefs and lifestyles. As always, please use both your own discretion and your parents’ guidance in choosing what to read. NOTE: In this year’s reading list, articles on dystopian fiction and on the author Ray Bradbury are followed by the general reading list. Dystopian Fiction: I want a book like The Hunger Games! Suggestions: Card, Orson Scott. Ender’s Game and Ender in Exile. Condie, Ally. Matched, Crossed, Reached. Dashner, James. The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, Death Cure, The Kill Order. Fisher, Catherine. Incarceron, Sapphique Lowry, Lois. The Giver, Gathering Blue, Messenger, Son. Lu, Marie. Legend, Prodigy,Champion. 1 Roth, Veronica. Divergent, Insurgent, Allegiant. Westerfield, Scott. Uglies series. Suzanne Collins’ runaway bestseller trilogy The Hunger Games was a product of the author’s love for military history and also her fascination with the gladiators of ancient Rome. The admittedly horrifying idea of children being forced to fight to the death, or otherwise manipulated in a dystopian society, finds echoes in other books published before and definitely since. In the same vein, James Dashner’s The Maze Runner series begins when Thomas wakes to find himself in an elevator, recalling nothing but his name. The elevator opens to a strange world of teenage boys who have learned to survive in “the glade,” an enclosed space surrounded by a dangerous and ever-changing maze. They have begin to give up hope – until Thomas and then a comatose girl arrives, bringing with her a strange note. The series continues with The Scorch Trials, Death Cure and the prequel, The Kill Order. Veronica Roth’s Divergent series clearly appeal to Hunger Games fans. Set in a bleak future Chicago, society has recovered from a devastating conflict by dividing into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue: Candor (honesty); Abnegation (selflessness); Dauntless (bravery); Amity (peace-loving); and Erudite (wisdom and knowledge). All sixteen- year-olds must choose the faction in which they will spend the rest of their lives. The main character, Beatrice, raised in Abnegation, makes a surprising choice. At the initiation that follows, Beatrice, now called Tris, struggles to make it past extreme physical and psychological endurance tests. If that’s not enough, she must also sort out friends from enemies, figure out what to do about her feelings for a certain off-limits boy – AND hide a deadly secret. All this and more awaits the reader as Tris also becomes aware of a growing conflict in this ‘perfect’ society – and finds out that her secret can either save or destroy her and those she loves. Another great choice for lovers of dystopian fiction is the Matched trilogy, by Ally Condie (Matched, Crossed, Reached). For Cassia, everything is planned for her –what she eats, the work she will do, the man she will marry. In Matched, the Society Officials make all these decisions for individuals, completely removing the “burden” of choice. When Cassia’s best friend Xander is identified as her ideal Match, it confirms her belief that Society indeed knows best, until she plugs in her Match microchip and a different boy’s face flashes across the screen – Ky. This improbable error exposes cracks in her supposedly perfect Society, and the series continues through Cassia’s collision course with the unthinkable – rebellion against the predetermined life Society has planned for her. In Marie Lu’s Legend, the former western United States is now the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Fifteen-year-old June, born into an elite and wealthy family, is a superachiever headed for sure success in the Republic's military. Born into the slums, 2 fifteen-year-old Day is the country's most wanted criminal, but his motives may not be as criminal as they seem. June and Day have no reason to meet - until the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered and Day is the prime suspect. Caught in a game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias's death. The two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the extent to which their country will go to keep its secrets. Full of nonstop action and suspense (beware: a fair bit of violence) and surprise surprise, an improbable but budding romance. The action continues with Prodigy and Champion. Many of these works find echoes in George Orwell’s 1984, and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. Also, see the description of Kazuo Ishiguro’s book Never Let Me Go and Lois Lowry’s The Giver. So there are plenty of possibilities for lovers of dystopian fiction! OTHER GREAT BOOKS (All Genres) Achebe, Chinua. Things Fall Apart. Set in the Igbo community of Umuofia in eastern Nigeria in the late 1800s and early 1900s, as the British Empire is expanding into Nigeria, Things Fall Apart is the tragic story of both the protagonist, Okonkwo, and the Igbo culture itself. Curriculum Connection – World History, World Literature. Applegate, Katherine. The One and Only Ivan. 2013 Newbery Award winner. While this is not written for a high school audience, it’s still a very sweet feel-good read! It’s based on the true story of Ivan the Shopping Mall gorilla. If it seems strange to read a point written from the point of view of a gorilla, it won’t after you read it. This is a heart-tugging, heart-warming novel of courage and friendship. Indulge your inner kid for a few minutes, and read it. Asimov, Isaac. Foundation. A classic science fiction trilogy! For twelve thousand years, the Galactic Empire has ruled in peace, but it is now dying. Hari Seldon, creator of the science of psychohistory, can see the Dark Age that will follow, lasting 30,000 years. To preserve knowledge and save mankind, Seldon gathers the best scientific and scholarly minds in the Empire and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the Galaxy – a sanctuary he calls the Foundation. But soon the Foundation finds itself at the mercy of corrupt warlords and must choose between living as slaves to the barbarians – or defying them and risking total destruction. Austen, Jane. Sense and Sensibility. If you’re a Pride and Prejudice fan, you’ll love the story of how sensible Elinor and passionate Marianne navigate the ups and downs of love. Curriculum Connection – AP Literature, British Literature. 3 Batson, Wayne. The Door Within series. Down in the basement of his grandfather’s house, Aidan Thomas discovers three ancient scrolls and an invitation to another world, where he encounters knights, warriors, kings, and mysterious Glimpses who can travel between two worlds. Aidan joins them in the struggle between good and evil, but it means risking everything and trusting the unseen hand of the one true King. Billerbeck, Kristin. Billerbeck writes light, fun Christian romance novels about young career women and their jobs, love lives, bad hair days and horrible fashion sense. Enjoy A Billion Reasons Why, She’s Out of Control, Perfectly Ridiculous (new), and many others. Bradbury, Ray. The Martian Chronicles. These connected stories describe man’s attempt to explore and settle Mars during the 21st century. Considering that’s here and now, it makes for interesting reading. Bradbury, Ray. Something Wicked This Way Comes. Two best friends learn that of all the terrors in the Cooger & Dark’s Pandemonium Shadow Show, the greatest threat exists within themselves. Bradbury, Ray. Fahrenheit 451. It is a time when books are banished and the written word is forbidden. Fireman Guy Montag loves his job, which is to burn any books that are discovered along with the houses where they are found. When he meets a young girl who tells him of a time when the written word was legal, Montag begins to rescue books rather than burn them …and then must run for his life. Bradley, Alan. Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie: A Flavia de Luce Mystery. At the once-grand mansion of Buckshaw, young Flavia de Luce, an aspiring chemist, is trying to make sense of a dead bird is found on the doorstep, a postage stamp bizarrely pinned to its beak. Then, hours later, she finds a man lying in the cucumber patch and watches him as he takes his dying breath. Murder has come to Buckshaw, and Flavia’s on the trail. “I wish I could say I was afraid, but I wasn’t. Quite the contrary. This was by far the most interesting thing that had ever happened to me in my entire life.” Enjoy this and many other Flavia moments! Bronte, Charlotte. Jane Eyre. Starts off rather slowly, with Jane’s unhappy childhood, and then picks up steam! Jane Eyre is full of drama (ok, make that melodrama) including creepy houses, fires, storms, murders, romance and insanity. It’s also about Jane’s stubborn independent streak, definitely a problem for a 19th century Englishwoman. Curriculum Connection – British Literature. If you enjoy Charlotte Bronte’s classic, check out her sister Emily’s famous work Wuthering Heights. Card, Orson Scott. Ender’s Game.

Near Confinement: Pregnant Women in the Nineteenth-Century British Novel Cynthia Northcutt Malone While eighteenth-century British novels are peppered with women ''big with child"-Moll Flanders, Molly Seagrim, Mrs. Pickle-nineteenth­ century novels typically veil their pregnant characters. Even in nine­ teenth-century advice books by medical men, circumlocution and euphe­ mism obscure discussions of pregnancy. This essay explores the changing cultural significance of the female body from the mid-eigh­ teenth century to the early Victorian period, giving particular attention to the grotesque figure of Mrs. Gamp in Martin Chuzzlewit. Through ostentatious circumlocution and through the hilariously grotesque dou­ bleness of Mrs. Gamp, Dickens both observes and ridicules the Victo­ rian middle-class decorum enveloping pregnancy in silence. And now one of the new fashions of our very elegant society is to go in perfectly light-coloured dresses-quite tight -witl1out a particle of shawl or scarf ..

  • 9Th Grade 2016 Summer Reading All Forms
    Hampton Christian Academy Upper School May 2016 Dear Parents, As we enter this summer, all of us—parents, students, and teachers—are excited about the well-earned break from the rigors of school. At the same time, however, we recognize that much hard-earned knowledge tends to slip away during the summer months unless we take measures to retain mental acuity. There is no question that one of the most valuable components to your student's academic success is a sustained pattern of reading. Students who are strong, avid readers are generally proficient students and competent test-takers. Hampton Christian Academy remains committed to doing all we can to develop our students’ reading skills and help them discover the life-long pleasure reading can bring to their lives. Each student in grades 7 - 11 is required to read a total of three books during the summer break. (Honors English students will have additional summer reading and writing assignments – see school website.) One of the three books has already been chosen for the student based on thematic content and grade level. This selected book will then be discussed the first week of school and a test will be given in class on the required book. This test will account for 50% of the student's summer reading test grade. An additional 25% will be earned by successfully completing a computerized Accelerated Reader quiz on a book from the grade level Accelerated Reader book list. AR quizzes consist of 10-20 questions focusing on reading comprehension. Students may drop by the school library on any Friday during the summer from 9 A.M.

  • “It Would Just Kill Me to Marry Mary Todd”: Courtship and Marriage
    Chapter Six “It Would Just Kill Me to Marry Mary Todd”: Courtship and Marriage (1840-1842) In 1842, Lincoln married Mary Todd, a woman who was to make his domestic life “a burning, scorching hell,” as “terrible as death and as gloomy as the grave,” according to one who knew him well.1 COURTING MARY OWENS Lincoln’s courtship of Mary Todd is poorly documented, but indirect light on it is shed by his earlier, well-documented romance with Mary S. Owens. Born in Kentucky a few months before Lincoln, Mary Owens received a good education at the home of her wealthy father, a planter in Green County.2 She “was very different from Anne Rutledge.” Not only was she older, bigger, better-educated, and raised “in the most refined society,” she also “dressed much finer than any of the ladies who lived about New 1 William H. Herndon, quoted in Michael Burlingame, The Inner World of Abraham Lincoln (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1994), 268. 2 Nathaniel Owens, out “of his deep concern for the education of his children . maintained a private school in his pretentious plantation home, to which came instructors from Transylvania University, Ky., to give instruction to his children and those of his neighbors.” On his 5000-acre plantation he grew cotton and tobacco, which he farmed with the help of two dozen slaves. Notes on Nathaniel Owens, Fern Nance Pond Papers, Menard County Historical Museum, Petersburg, Illinois. According to William B. Allen, Owens “was a farmer of good education for the times, and of a high order of native intellect.
