  • Determining English 1 Students Should Read The Odyssey

    368 Words  | 2 Pages

    I personally believe that incoming English 1 ninth grade classes should read the Odyssey for many reasons. If students who pay close attention to how Odysseus changed throughout the story will soon find that they may have changed themselves! However I do think that all incoming English 1 students should read the Odyssey in a different style- with more emphasis on the Graphic Novel, and even the low-quality movie, as opposed to the actual novel (also known as Fitzgerald). In my opinion, learning with visuals is more efficient and informative, and allows the students to retain information better than just simply reading words off of a page. Also, a lot of the images found in the graphic novel can be not only entertaining and cool to look at,

    Tim LaRocca Persepolis KPA In the book “Persepolis”, the author Marjane Satrapi, uses excellent diction to help the reader obtain knowledge and gain understanding of her main purpose in a specific passage or chapter of the book. Despite her specific word choice, it is challenging for readers to truly understand her main purpose only through literary terms and devices used throughout the book.
