https://t.co/YrVEJTVW1sNot much. Barely remember anything. MACBETH. STREETCAR. Probably THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD. That’s it. My teachers tended to be very unadventurous. Didn’t read the good stuff until college.
https://t.co/53SlmgUKrZHow could I forget Their Eyes Were Watching God?? I’m literally so colonized. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
S/o to my white female teachers in late 90s way underfunded exurban schools who taught Invisible Man, Native Son, Their Eyes Were Watching God, and Slaughterhouse Five.
And in 10th grade we read House on Mango Street.
Their eyes were watching god. That was painful.

7th-the Giver, 7/10, why... what was the reason

11th-fucking ‘while their eyes were watching god’... 3/10
12-Frankenstein, 4/10
Their Eyes Were Watching God is my favorite book. And honestly Oprah really did it justice with the movie... it's one of my faves
their eyes were watching god was always a favorite, and catcher in the rye. it's not a book but i fell in love with the yellow wallpaper after reading that in 10th grade. we read a lot of plays and raisin in the sun and especially othello were favorites
https://t.co/9sb31t0ZtTIn 9th grade I had a small meltdown at being asked to read Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Their Eyes Were Watching God back to back. I objected to stories with female protagonists that defined them by the men in their lives.

Jean Rhys’ Wide Sargasso Sea.
Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God.
AP English Lit was good to me.
