assorted literature, painful compositions . . . English When someone asks you about English you probably res- pond with the usual Ugh!” But Munster really does offer a pretty good program whether you admit it or not. Mostly it involves reading with a dash of writing thrown in on the side and class discussion. And you couldn ' t ask for a wider selection with any thing from Animal Farm and Ray Bradbury, to a unit about Death. Freshman year isn ' t too bad. They mix everything and toss in your first composition to get you started. In the tenth grade everything hinges on class discussion even though the year is based on the novels, drama, poetry, and the short story. You ' ve heard about all the fun you ' ll have in your junior year. This class studies extraordinary things like. Death, Man, and Womens Lib. Your high school English education is completed by a semester of composition followed by another semester chosen from a variety of courses.
