Final Presentation

11. There are so many good books out there its hard to recommend one. Some of the most absorbing novels I've ever read are murder mysteries by Agatha Christie and horror novels by Ira Levin. I've read other more acknowledged literary classics, after reading The Great Gatsby I can definitely see why its considered one of the greatest books ever written, its amazing that after all these decades the book's criticism of American materialism is still just as relevant.

7. My life, so far, has been very dull, ordinary, boring, and essentially unchallenging, and to be honest I'm OK with that, an unchallenging life just means I don't have to work to overcome any great obstacles. Unfortunately there wasn't a question about what challenges you haven't had to overcome so I was forced to rack my brain for some interesting problem I've faced, I came up blank. So here is the best thing I could come up with: For my final project in AP Lit I had to write a blog answering two college interview questions, and then present them to the class. The only problem is that I have no idea how to make my answers interesting. Not surprisingly my teacher's only advice was "So make it interesting," that wasn't very helpful. I overcame the challenge by deciding that I didn't care if anyone found my blog stupid, I had regents to study for and I wasn't going to waste any more time on this stupid assignment.

And on that note, I conclude my post.
