There were a few great pieces in this anthology, but I really just balk at the idea of an anthology in the first place. Where's the context?! I don't want to just read several books from Confessions--I want to read Confessions. I don't want to read just one Frost poem--I want to read them all. I don't want to read EXCERPTS--I WANT THE WHOLE THING. Also, as much as I tried to like CCC, I still do not see the point of it.

Required reading for the most unnecessary class I've ever taken. I will say some pieces in the anthology were interesting, but overall I was very "meh" about the whole thing. I also skimmed some stuff here and there, but I'm counting it as read because I read pretty much everything, which (not to sound arrogant) I'm sure is more than can be said for some of my fellow freshman. And I don't really blame them.

I don't even know if this is worthy of a 3 star rating. I also didn't read the last few assignments so heh (future students reading this, don't be me).
