The Passing was a great book in my opinion. I think this was the first book that we have read that I really like. The passing is basically about an African American woman whose friend is passing as a white woman. Irene is the main character. Clare is her friend.
The book takes us through how they interact with one another. Irene tolerates Clare even though she doesn’t really like her. The book has two major twists which are great.
Our group has been working on the wikki project. The Passing is about 115-120 pages. There are five of us in the group. I think that the project is easy. We divided our work up so we did almost all of it at home. There weren’t enough pages that were strictly dedicated to the book and not Nella Larsen.
Over all I think that I am the only one in my book that liked the ending to the book also. {For more description, go to the Passing wikki page.} I thought it was hysterical that Encounter three had a good twenty seven pages without action then BAAM at the end you’re hit with the greatest ending.
I am tired of predictable endings and it was great that this books ending was unexpected.
If we get the chance I’d love to do another project like this. The only thing is I don’t think we need as many class periods as we were given. Personally I think the wikki we made is awesome. Go Check It Out.

Your wiki space looks so far good. I never read the Passing so I don’t know how the end goes but it is good that you liked it.

That’s really good that it’s the first book that you have enjoyed in the class. I think that’s an important element in english classes. But doesn’t seem to be all that popular to read an enjoyable book in class.

Your groups wiki page did come out good! I wish I had picked a different book to read other than the mountains of madness one. I too liked the wiki project, it was really time consuming though. I think it would have been more enjoyable had it been a book that I ended up liking as much as you liked passing.
