Well, class of '08, you "finished" Johnny Tremain. I realize summer reading may not be at the top of your list, but remember there is a lot more coming for the next few summers in high school! Take the lessons learned in Johnny Tremain and try to apply them to your daily life. It is important at this time in history to recognize the problems that do exist, set aside our own pride and arrogance, and strive to assist others less fortunate than oursleves. Don't wait for a tragedy to strike (like Johnny) before understanding how important selfless service is. Also, particularly in light of 9-11 and the troops around the world, remember those who have gone before us so that we might enjoy freedom. Academically, remember the lessons in historical fiction, literary elements, and especially, theme! I hope you enjoy the rest of the school year.
