The Answer Sheet - A major reading program that gives more points to 'Breaking Dawn' than 'The Grapes of Wrath'


The Answer Sheet- A major reading program that gives more points to 'Breaking Dawn' than 'The Grapes of Wrath':

"On one hand you have the book “Breaking Dawn,” the fourth book in the “Twilight Saga” by Stephenie Meyer. On the other, you have John Steinbeck’s classic “The Grapes of Wrath.”

If you were going to assign points to each work--points that students would amass by reading each one and then passing a quiz on it--which book would get the most?

I’m guessing that most of you (myself included) would put Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prize winning stunner on top."
