More LM Reader Guides:



I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
by Maya Angelou

Good news--this is poetry, so you can pretty much say whatever you want about it, and no one will contradict you, because nobody understands poetry. Just be sure you say it's about something deep, like freedom or the individual, and you'll be fine.



The Sound and the Fury
by William Faulkner

Um, someone should have told Faulkner that you never go full retard. Take it from us--just skip to the last section where the book starts to sort of make sense, and as for the rest of it, say it represents the fragmentation of modern life or whatever. Actually, you can say that anything represents the fragmentation of modern life.

Forrest Gump is the heroic version of the same theme, truly "a tale told by an idiot."
