Corner View: One book

 My favorite book of all time is Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte.  I first read it when I was in 9th grade.  I have even taught it as the pics of notes denotes.  It's a hard book for some kids now-a-days to understand, but most of whom I taught ended up liking it, once they got the 'hang' of it.




For more corner of the world views, head on over to Francesca's.

  1. It is indeed difficult for kids these days.It was difficult for me as a ninth grader, but I did grow to love it when it was thrust upon me (that's how I felt!) once again in college.
