English Literature Mr Feldstein Due Thurs May 23

Essay: As part of school curriculum students read literature that was written hundreds of years ago as well as works of contemporary authors. Discuss the differences between old and new literature – style, substance, tone, themes, etc. Why do you think teachers assign classics more often than modern works? Should teachers, in your opinion, assign more of newer novels or “dust off” more of the older works?

Extra Credit: Write an engaging essay on a topic or subject of your choice.
