The Plague -- Greenhaven Literary Companion Series
I thought this book was excellent. It was extremely helpful as far as taking a piece of work that I found difficult to read, and not only making it understandable and interesting, but also giving it meaning and purpose. I now comprehend the book's importance as a historical piece of literature much better than I could before. I found the biography of Casmus' life to be well-rounded and captivating, without needing to read an entire book about him! I highly recommend this book for any student of literature who wants to better understand Casmus and/or his writing of The Plague.

An Insightful Introduction to Camus
Jesse Cunningham catalogues a broad, well-researched collection of essays that address readers on a variety of levels. Camus biographers Germaine Bree and Gaetan Picon introduce the work with insightful, easily understood discussions on theme and allegory. The other contributing writers, (John Cruickshank, Derek Parker, David R. Ellison, Brian Masters, Rachel Bespaloff, Jennifer Waelti-Walters, Patrick McCarthy, Allen Thiher, David Sprintzen, Bernard C. Murchland, and Robert R. Brock), tackle a variety of subjects with pertinence and wit. I highly recommend this work as an insightful read and a stepping stone to further research.

The Old Man and the Sea
The book Ichose to read was The old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. This book was very interesting to me because this is the first time I am reading a book written by Ernest Hemingway. This novel was a hundred and fifty three pages. After I read this novel I convinced myself that this was an interesting book to read. That is because the author Ernest Hemingway has only a few weaknesses in his novel. This novel had a lot of strengths, the one that I liked was, he did'nt bore his audience with the book, he had many interesting ideas. From all the books that Iread this novel was the most interesting and understandable novel.This book is perfect for teenagers to read because they learn that success doesnt just come by just sitting there, it comes by working very hard. Another strength was that the kid and the old man worked together and showed that to be successful in life, it takes friendship, and working together like a team. Another strength was it had a lot of symbolism. Besides strenghts this book had a few weaknesses too. The part where the old man Santiago spent two days trying to catch a big fish that was the size of his boat. Ernest Hemingway could have made it a lttle bit more interesting by adding a little more action to the novel. The story is overly simplistic. I recommend this novel to everyone that can read. I would not recommend this novel to anyone who likes adventures. And to anyone who doesnt like complicated, suspensful novels. In conclusion this novel taught me a lot of stuff like, never quit, and reach for your goals. I understood the importance of having people help me, and the value of friendship. I recommend you to read this novel, You will understand a lot of things you didnt before. By Gevork Sarkisyan
