Picking a Novel to Write About

AP Exam Overview:
The exam includes a writing portion with 3 questions. One is about a poem, another about a short story or a selection from a story dating anywhere from the 1700s to the 1900s, and the other prompt (and today's topic!) is an analysis question about a novel or one of comparative literary merit.
So what should you choose- a book from the list or one of your own? The answer- both! Sometimes a novel you choose will fit the prompt better than one on the list. Plus, you may not have read/ remember all the books on the list.
The important point of today is that you should remember to answer the prompt in the best way you can, and that it is a good idea to become well-read, or at least familiar with some works.
