Book Club

What could be better than book clubbin' with Jeffrey and Jake? Maybe sippin' mango shakes on the beach, uhh, nevermind. that's not as good. Anyways, books are so beautiful. I love being able to look deep into the thoughts of the author as I explore his book. It is enlightening and romantic (yeah? yeah? haha! this is my classroom application) Let's begin with lovely, innovative, artistic, literary, and intellectual music video. Followed by description of suggested books.


Book Number 1: Poor White by Sherwood Anderson. This is a story of Hugh McVey, an inventor who rises from poverty on the banks of the Mississippi River. In this book, we see the influence of industrialism on the more rural side of America.













Book Number 2: A History of English Romanticism in the Nineteenth Century by Henry A. Beers. This looks like a very interesting book that can be very informative of romanticism. We can learn of beginnings and results!

Book Number 3: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. This is a great book written in the romanticism era that depicts early science fiction, gothicism, and the complexities of the inner man. This book also warned against the expansions of the modern man of the industrial revolution. From reading this, we can gain a better understanding of romanticism.







Other possible works written in the romanticism era are Edgar Allan Poe poems, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Moby Dick by Herman Melville.

Catch ya reading a book!

(nice cheesy ending ;)
