Hello,
The Honors American Literature class gives a very specific summer reading assignment in our town.  Students need to read a contemporary novel (1980 or after) written by an American author, and it must have the theme of individual vs.society. They must be able to write an essay on how the character seeks redemption.  

Any suggestions? We had our first student with this assignment today, and we want to be ready with a long list when the swarms start coming.

Thanks so much!
Katie
