Wow, Pre-AP English 10 sure was quite a trip, wasn’t it? If you’re like the average sophomore, you can fondly remember the day that such contemporary or classic literary masterpieces like Slaughterhouse 5, Catch-22, Maus or The Road was set on your desk. Now that it’s all over, don’t you wish that you could read each and every book on the syllabus for the first time again? Well, we at The Southern View have your solution! Using the most advanced book-finding technology, we have located the names of the few, arcane,and highly unsuccessful sequels to your Pre-AP favorites!
Catch-23: Oh no, everyone is trying to kill Yossarian, again! In this 400-page madcap adventure, the hero of the original finally goes home from fighting WWII in Italy, only to be re-drafted into the war in the Pacific! Wax up your funny bone for the rip-roaring fun of more jokes, more dark satire, and more questioning of the faceless bureaucratic nature of war!
Thing Keep Falling Apart: Picking up shortly after Okonkwo’s violent suicide in the first book, Things Keep Falling Apart takes Nwoye, Obierika, Enzima and the gang into a whole knew wacky situation. Forcibly taken from their conquered home in Africa and shipped to Europe to work as servants, you’re in for a treat as you see these natives as fish out of water in the city of London.
Slaughterhouse 6: If you said “So it goes” to the story at the end of the first book, you were dead wrong! The Tralfamadorians are back, and crazier than ever! Instead of simply wanting to keep protagonist Billy Pilgrim in a zoo like last time, they now want to dissect him to learn more about how the human body works. Be enchanted once again by Kurt Vonnegut's quirky characters, now on the run through time and space to try to get away from the aliens. But bigger secrets lie hidden in the fourth dimension.
The Road 2: At the end of Cormac McCarthy’s instant classic The Road, most assumed that they wouldn’t be seeing anything more from the now-orphaned main character. It was a shock to audiences everywhere, therefore, when McCarthy unveiled his new wacky novel: The Road 2. Traveling across the cold post-apocalyptic deathscape, the boy must face cannibals and the elements once again, with new threats lurking around every corner. It’ll be tons-o-adventure, barrels-o-fun, and plenty-o-disturbing imagery!
