> > My english class is reading The Scarlet Letter, an accepted American Classic, a tale of the human heart and human nature going up against strict Puritan values. This is a book reserved for college guys, and they like that book. Nobody in my class doesn't hate it. Shoving this college reading material down our fifteen and sixteen year-old throats is not only unnatural, but it has ruined a book that I might have enjoyed, or at least understood, while in college.

I can. Me. I can see why most people don't like the book, but I did. I'm trying desperatly to remember exactly what it was that caught my full attention, as I am not a reader, but it's been about 6 years since I read it in my sophomore year of high school. I just remember the whole story line kept my attention.
