So, in spite of a little change in the plans (involving the chef/teacher), you must nevertheless still finish your world lit novel by this Wednesday, October 1st. Please come to class with a copy of your Amazon review in hand (and already published online OR on this blog if you have no Amazon account), and your coffee or tea in the other hand. Oh, and -- not to throw a fly in the ointment -- please bring a pen as well, for your quick vocabulary test over lists 1-4, with an additional question or two about your novel.
I (Mrs. E.) received a last-minute call summoning me back to Rome on business this week, so Dr. E. will be your Wednesday teacher and the pastry chef for the promised chocolate chip scones. This will be his first attempt at baking any sort of English pastry, so remember, please, to encourage him with accolades about his baking skills, no matter how the scones taste.
Starting October 8th, we'll be engaged in Great Expectations for a month or so.
Thank you very much, and bon appetit.

One Hundred Years of Solitude is a great novel worthy of awards and notification. Marquez Gabriel Garcia created a town that truely captures the reader's attention and takes them on a journey that they will never forget. This masterpiece is full of excitement, adventure, and twisted plots that will leave even the most suspecting person on the edge of their seat. From the beginning to the end, Garcia captivates the full meaning of the storie's title. By giving the whole history of this imaginary town, Garcia created a wonderful and exciting story. Although the book may not be for everyone, I enjoyed it. The twisted and sometimes gross images help keep the reader interested, but they also disturb the mind and make one think that the author is mentally disturbed. These images, however, add to the suspense and help the reader understand exactly what a dystopia society is like. One Hundred Years of Solitude should be read just so people can see what life would be like in an uncontrolled society. It's worth the time to sit down and read.
p.s.- I created an amazon account, but I have not purchased an item yet and that's the only way to write a review.
thanks,
chris
