Summer Reading
Description
To be completely honest, this year was one of the first years that I actually did summer reading. I usually never do summer reading, the last time I probably did it was back in 6th grade and even then I had read a Judy B. Jones book a day before school even started. I decided I would do it this year since I want to do better in school, plus my mom and my girlfriend kept pushing me on until I started it. When I finally started summer reading I decided I would do one of the books for honors first and get that out of the way first, so I decided to read One Hundred Years Of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I enjoyed the book but half way through it I began to get lost and confused with the story so I decided to read The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe. Once I finished the reading requirement for Honors I read the book Mr. Pip by Lloyd Jones. I brought this book along with me to Brazil and would usually read at night since that was the only time I got a chance to read. The last book I read to complete my summer reading was a book my girlfriend gave me to read called Jayne Eyre by Charlotte Bonte.
The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe Even though this book was only about 50 pages I had to read it over twice before I actually understood it. The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe is a play about a scholar named Dr. Faustus who sells his soul to the Devil in return for knowledge and power. After having had made the deal with the Devil there was many times were Faustus wanted to repent and pray for salvation from damnation. Throughout the play he was warned by many characters such as a good angel who told him it wasn’t too late to ask for salvation, and Mesphistophilis, one of Satan’s own demons, who warned him of the horrors of hell. Even though Faustus could have asked for forgiveness, he believed there was no chance for salvation and in the end of the play he
