- sr3d 16y agoI had to write a book analysis on Ishmael for my Composition 110 class. I was a freshman, and it was my first year in the US. I had the worst time reading and understanding it (though I think the professor cut me some slacks and I managed to get an A in the class). I haven't re-read it ever since, bad first impression.
- mslate 16y agoThat's too bad--some of the most interesting parts of the book are analysis of Western religions and their common conclusions about the role humanity plays in the universe. Pretty eye-opening stuff
