Welcome to Litsy!

I read this when I was a junior in high school. I thought I didn‘t remember any of it, but I actually remembered multiple parts of it. This is such an important novel both literarily and socially. This could be such a conversation starter. Sadly, there were no conversations about this book in my junior English class. This is another of those books that should absolutely be required reading.

Indeed! This goes for everyone, every race, gender, orientation, etc. There is way too many people deciding who someone is without knowing anything at all about them.
