Watership Down - Tay - 2010-03-29
I'm reading this book for the 2nd time.
The first time I read it in 8th grade, I liked the overall story and the movie helped me enjoy it despite a lot of things tossed out from the book.
However, I'm in 11th grade now and I'm reading this for fun so I can read at my own pace. Though, in 8th grade we read extremely slow and in literature circles so I didn't completely take this novel seriously.
Now that I understand a bit of propaganda, after reading Animal Farm 3 times last year and doing a bunch of research on it, are there any things that I should probably pay more attention to and try to draw connections to? I can really see that there are a lot of underlying meanings just from recalling what I read and reading the first 2 chapters so far. I really enjoyed this book, but I want to take it more seriously.
