Assignment #2 -William Webb

My list of books I’ve read in the past 12 months may be short, but a book that surprisingly demonstrated my passions as an American was The Great Gatsby.  Even though, last year, we read this book as a class, I wish I could have read it before hand.  This book challenged the way I looked at school and other ideas such as the need for money and love. This book most likely had the greatest impact on my personal ideas than any other book I have ever read before. This is not the only book that has challenged my ideas or demonstrated my passions before.  The Teenage Brain also created a basis for my knowledge on how people see and interpret teenagers/ young adults in today's world.  This idea (not present before) became present to me that parents are the only ones that have to deal with teenagers are not parents.  This idea of the teenagers and their ideas and problems are much more community involved.
