The assignment we're currently working on in class right now is collaborative writing, something I'm pretty new to. Being shy has some disadvantages, so I've never really written anything with anyone else. Needless to say, this will be a learning experience I'll remember. But it's not so bad, I mean I thought it was going to be a little weird at first but things are going just fine.
We decided to do our essay on A Separate Peace, by John Knowles, because we all have different opinions about the novel. Personally I thought it was really good, I liked the plot and how dark the book became once all the conflict started kicking in. It even freaked me out when Gene started wearing Finny's clothes, talk about a creepy guy. The thing that novel taught me was to make sure you never make your friends incredibly jealous of you because they'll end up shaking you out of a tree, breaking your leg, and eventually killing you out of jealousy.
Book rating: 6.5/10
"Its high, somewhat stiff collar against my neck, the wide cuffs touching my wrists, the rich material against my skin excited a sense of strangeness and distinction;" - Gene while wearing Finny's shirt
