6: The Sun Also Rises

Yes, I just listed this last year, but I read it again as I taught it. I expected this to be the hardest book of the year, and I think I was right. But I also think that some students ended up liking it. As one student said, it's not something you really enjoy as you're reading it, but in the end, you really end up liking it.

I'm glad it worked out for some of them. With a text like this, we really have to start analyzing the work with more skill. You can't just coast along talking about plot, because there really isn't much of any. I'll certainly teaching this again next year. I enjoyed this book and the unit I created for it.
