books.. help.... :cry:

[ChrisCantSkate]

ok so i have a paper to write... lets say its long and due alot sooner than i'd like. i have to write it on 4 books in american literature from 1877 on. i'd like them to in some way relate to america durring this time, or be classics that have a decent amount of info on them..

the first book im doing is The Jungle (about early american meat packing industry and the lack of regulation)

so i need any and all books anyone can think of.

oh.. last semster i had the same project but from 1877 and earlier. i did uncle toms cabin, johnny tremain, the scarlet letter, and adventures of tom sawyer just for an idea of what is needed

[ChrisCantSkate]

little late for that. i will be able to write the paper fine once i got 4 solid books to do it on. but im just braindead right now

[ChrisCantSkate]

*bump*

i got my second book now also... but still need ideas for 2 more

1984 and brave new world...

maybe animal farm somewhere in there, or of mice and men...?

[ChrisCantSkate]

ohhh animal farm and 1984.. i actually read both of those. its an american history class though... i wonder if those are considered "american" books

*edit* im going with no... they were both written and take place in england.:o

Both of those are great. I love them.

Hey, when did Thoreau write, "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience"?

Great one too, did a paper on it.
