<p>Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson. </p>

<p>It consists of a series of vignettes, which suggests it isn’t actually a novel. But the vignettes are linked by a common character, share an overall common theme, and culminate in an important realization of the main character.</p>

<p>Would this be an appropriate book to consider for free response question #3 on the AP Lit exam? I’m trying to compile a list of potential novels to write about, and I loved this book and felt it had a powerful message. But would an AP grader approve? </p>

<p>If you’ve read the book I’d like to know your opinion.</p>

<p>Well, it’s whatever you think is acceptable quality, right?</p>

<p>What if the AP grader hasn’t heard of a person’s “well-known” book. Would they get credit? If that’s the case, could you make up a book and say it’s like a Serbian translation or something haha j/k</p>

<p>Well, If you take something like The Great Escape, and you start babbling about events that never happened, the examiner is definitely going to realize. However, I doubt the examiner will have read every book in existence so if you choose a less well known book, then by all means add as much BS as you can :P</p>
