*An idea i had for my english was Fahrenheit 451* Is that good (and about what grade level)???
The choice has to be with your own interests.
However, if you limit yourself to before 1550, Fahrenheit 451 does not fit.
Since I am not familiar with these specific books, I cannot give you information about their difficulty levels.
I hope this helps a little. Thanks for asking.
How does Buttercup in The Princess Bride change throughout the book? What are some of her traits?
For your fiction book, there are several options that you can choose from based on your interest and level of challenge. To help you make a choice, I can provide you with a brief explanation of some of the books from your list:
1. Dance of the Tiger: a novel of the ice age - This book takes you back to the Ice Age and tells a fictional story set in that time period.
2. Child of Morning - This book is set in ancient Egypt and explores the life of an individual during that time.
3. Escape from Egypt - As the title suggests, this book follows a character's journey to escape from ancient Egypt.
4. The Murder of Tutankhamen: A True Story - This book delves into the mystery surrounding the death of the famous pharaoh Tutankhamen.
5. Oedipus Rex - This play by Sophocles is a classic Greek tragedy, exploring themes of fate and destiny.
6. Troy (Adele Geras) - This novel retells the story of the Trojan War, focusing on the perspective of different characters involved.
7. Julius Caesar - William Shakespeare's play explores the rise and fall of Julius Caesar in ancient Rome.
8. Pompeii: a novel (Robert Harris) - Set during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, this historical fiction novel depicts life in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii.
9. Iliad, Odyssey, Aeneid - These epic poems written by ancient Greek and Roman authors (Homer and Virgil) tell fascinating tales of heroes, gods, and historical events.
10. The Republic - This philosophical work by Plato discusses topics such as political theory, morality, and the nature of justice.
If you enjoy dystopian literature, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is an excellent choice for your English book. It is a classic novel set in a future society where books are banned. It challenges ideas about censorship, knowledge, and the power of literature. Fahrenheit 451 is generally recommended for high school students, so it should be appropriate for your grade level.
To make your final decision, I suggest considering your personal interests, reading preferences, and any topics or time periods you find particularly intriguing. Additionally, reading reviews or summaries of these books can help you make an informed choice.
