Legend, by Marie Lu
ISBN-13: 9780142422076 Barnes and Noble $9.99
What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic's wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic's highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country's most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.
From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths - until the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family's survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias's death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.
Wither, by Lauren DeStefano
ISBN-13: 9781442409064 Barnes and Noble $9.99
By age sixteen, Rhine Ellery has four years left to live. She can thank modern science for this genetic time bomb. A botched effort to create a perfect race has left all males with a lifespan of 25 years, and females with a lifespan of 20 years. Geneticists are seeking a miracle antidote to restore the human race, desperate orphans crowd the population, crime and poverty have skyrocketed, and young girls are being kidnapped and sold as polygamous brides to bear more children.
When Rhine is kidnapped and sold as a bride, she vows to do all she can to escape. Her husband, Linden, is hopelessly in love with her, and Rhine can't bring herself to hate him as much as she'd like to. He opens her to a magical world of wealth and illusion she never thought existed, and it almost makes it possible to ignore the clock ticking away her short life. But Rhine quickly learns that not everything in her new husband's strange world is what it seems. Her father-in-law, an eccentric doctor bent on finding the antidote, is hoarding corpses in the basement. Her fellow sister wives are to be trusted one day and feared the next, and Rhine is desperate to communicate to her twin brother that she is safe and alive.

AP English III Language and Composition
1. Read The Awakening by Kate Chopin. We will discuss the novel during the first week of school. It will also be the novel you use for your summer reading test in homeroom. I suggest you buy the Dover Thrift Edition of the novel. It's cheap, and it's the version of the novel that I'll be using in class. Having the same edition will make discussing the novel easier. I do not recommend electronic editions of the novel as it does not allow for annotations. Annotations are encouraged. Here's a link to the novel:
http://www.amazon.com/Awakening-Dover-Thrift-Editions/dp/0486277860/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1463665852&sr=8-3&keywords=the+awakening
2. Complete the critical analysis for The Awakening. (The document can be found below.) Follow the instructions carefully. Be sure to MLA format your document. You may answer each section of the analysis in one document. If you are having difficulty analyzing the novel, you may consult an outside source, but you must cite that source and include a works cited page. Please note: you will be required to turn in an electronic copy of your analysis to Turnitin.com. The critical analysis of The Awakening will be due during the first week of school. Please email me with questions.
You must also go to campolmi.weebly.com for additional summer assignments. These will be updated this summer.
