pickI like to read the books my kids are assigned for the year, if I haven‘t yet. This is an assignment for my son‘s 9th grade lit. I think this is very good literature, but very heavy topics. I am also not for censoring, but maybe too much for 9th grade? What do you all think if you‘ve read it? Dealing with some serious violence, it makes me worry how impressionable 14 year olds are. Kind of a mix of Clockwork Orange and The Car Thief.
Ruthiella I hear where you are coming from, but I think 14 year olds can handle more than adults often think they can. And what they perceive and pick up on from a narrative is going to be different than from someone 20 years older. 4h
Cosmos_Moon_River @Ruthiella 🥰❤️ thank you for that perspective. I‘m sure that is true. I remember feeling very adult at 14, although looking back at myself then, I probably disagree. Also, you‘re very kind to say 20 years older… it‘s something like that 😆 7m
