<p>The Catcher in the Rye and Huck are great books :).

How in the world did you finish a book like Huck Finn??
Was it assigned reading? </p>
<p>Because I’ve picked that book up at least 5 times, and then put it back down out of pure boredom. Not only is Mark Twain’s prose inelegant, but the plot sucks and I hate the protagonist. That book does nothing for me. I don’t understand why it’s a classic.</p>
<p>:/ how dare you say that about Mark Twain lol. Anyways I read it over the summer because it was on the SAT 101 great Books list. You have to like the style to like a book such as Huckleberry Finn. I enjoyed because it was funny and witty :):). It’s orginal aswell :)</p>
<p>My AP Lang class is so light on homework. I’ve been in school for over a month and we’ve only had to write one short essay, a letter, a couple different paragraphs, and annotate a few speeches. Sometimes we go days without any homework, like this entire past week we had nothing to do. That class is so easy, the only difficult part is the in class essays but I’ll get used to those eventually.</p>
<p>Then im afraid you may be ill-prepared when the test comes.</p>
<p>^I don’t think that’s true. My class’s curriculum has been used for years and it seems to be pretty successful. I don’t see how reading all of these books is really necessary for AP Lang; so far, my class’s entire focus has been on finding and analyzing rhetorical devices in speeches and editorials.</p>
<p>Edit: I should have been more clear in my first post. When I said all the stuff we’ve done so far, that’s just what we have had for homework. We do a lot in class.</p>
<p>I think the reason I get alot of homework is because the class is only 1 period long (45 min)</p>
<p>@MutaRiSC My school uses Pinnacle too lol.</p>
<p>@nothing Yeah that might explain it, my class is 2 hours long.</p>
<p>My AP Chem class is double and I still get A LOT of hw a night. Apparently we had 9, I wouldn’t know but it’s a lot</p>
<p>My AP Lang class hasn’t had more than three grades, and it was for summer reading. I failed one of the tests (I didn’t read Scarlet Letter, because screw that) and my grade is an 82. I feel like that’ll ruin my GPA because he never gives us any assignments.</p>
<p>@Lala: Same here. Homework every night, only worth 10 points each, and takes a couple of hours… Considering labs aren’t my thing, and my current grade w/o our 1st lab (she hasn’t graded them yet) and the one we’re doing tomorrow is an 85… I’m hoping for a really good grade on my next couple of tests.</p>
<p>Got an A- on my APUSH test! Teacher was taken aback (again); I think it’s the first A of the year?</p>
<p>@efeens: I still haven’t read Huck Finn. Thankfully we haven’t been tested yet, but I should probably really get on that.</p>
<p>How do you all make A’s on tests in APUSH?
On the first APUSH test, over chapters 1 - 4ish? in Pageant, I got a 71.
On the second one, I got a low 70, but she’s letting us redo the DBQ so it might be better. I studied for hours on the second one, too. :/</p>
<p>First small quiz (5 questions) on APUSH the other day, i came in 4 minutes late, and had 1 minute to do 5 questions (teacher didn’t even give me extra time) and got a 3/5… Now my grades a 82.7… i had a heart attack</p>
<p>Got a 5 on my first in class essay in Lang. Not that great, but most got 2s and 3s so I was pretty happy :)</p>
<p>For APUSH we’ve written 3 papers and it’s the fourth week of school. Test is coming up on Chapters 1-5 and I didn’t read them…</p>
<p>@lldm21 Our homework takes forever but the problem is no one knows when it’s due. Our teacher is Turkish with a very thick accent and isn’t clear on when things are due so no one knows.</p>
<p>My teacher has test corrections, so basically we take our test grade, add 100, and divide by two. That’s our test grade hahahaha.</p>
<p>Just did a practice practice IOP (Individual Oral Presentation for IB Diploma) in English class with my friend (not individual for practice) on SUPERHEROES: Batman and Captain America. We’re gonna act out a scene for the real practice one, and it’s going to be beast!</p>
