**​If you were told that you could save one book for future generations, which would you choose and why?**
Steven Althouse One book I would save for future generations is The Magic Treehouse. I would choose this book because i always enjoyed reading it when i was younger. I think other people enjoyed reading this book also. This book is fun and interesting and inspired me to be the fantastic reader I am today. The Magic Treehouse is easy to read. I believe it should be read by all 11th grade English classes. If you have not read this book i would recommend you read it. Jackie Brandt-Lee

Elizabeth Brown would save for the book Sense and Sensibility. I read the book twice becuse of the old english invovled but the story is partly true on how the world works. Human curlty and true love or at least the thought. The main female characters are fast with many troubling issues of their love interest. I believe the next generation will enjoy this, because this will show them how much harder it was to fall in love during Jane Austens time.

Shelby Chorney - One book that I would save for future generations is Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. I'd choose this because it is very suspenseful and entertaining. There was never a dull moment throughout the story line. It's one of those books you just start reading and can't put down until you finish it. Peter Crowson The Outsiders by SE Hinton i liked this book becuase, The book took you into the lives if a grounp of kids with all different problems of their own. The out siders is about the main character Ponyboy and his friend who killed a kid of a rivle gang. They try to leave town so the police wont find them they learn some major lessons alone the way. I think this book should be saved for future generations because it teaches kids about how people from different social classes should not fight and just get alone.

Matthew Francis would choose the book, Where the red fern grows. This book was the summer reading book for 7th grade I believe. This book was my favorite summer reading book, probably because it was the only one I actually read. It was a about a kid that lived in the country with his parents and wants to learn how to hunt. He wants to buy a bloodhound hunting dog but can't afford it, so he works for some money to buy a bloodhound puppy. He eventually earns enough money to buy it and he starts to hunt with traps that his father gave him. He starts to hunt a racoon or something of the sort for days, he tracks it all up and down the river near his house. I forget how it ends but I thought it was a pretty good book at the time. I think it would be a pretty good book for the future generations. Ed Heinemann- A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway is a book worth saving.The setting is durning World War I near the Alps in Italy. The story is about an American man who is in an ambulance corps and meets a British nurse who he falls in love with. In the end they run away from the war but the Nurse dies. This book is a very good read and is one of Hemingways greatest works.

Jordan Kelso - If i could only save one book for future generations,i would choose Number the stars by Lois Lowery, I believe this is a good book to have because it tells experiences from children living through the holocaust,Everyone shoud know about the holocaust and what people went through.This book should never be forgotten because it shows the emotion and tradgedy that the jewish people endured,Number the stars has been my favorite book since i was in fifth grade because it shows that children just like you have survived harder things than you,because of this people can relate to it whatever time period they are in. Amanda Kilpatrick

Christopher Long - If I had to choose one book to keep for future generations it would have to be On My Honor. On My Honor was one of my summer reading books in Middle School. It was one of the first book that I read that and enjoyed it. While reading the book I learned a lot of life lessens, the book was very inertesting and kept my attention. I haven't read the book since Middle School and I would like to have it and read it again.

Linda Luu The book i would save for future genearations would be "the indian in the cupboard" by Lynne Reid Banks. In the 3rd grade my teacher Ms.Dewald read it to the class. Thhe is was the first book that i had intrest in. The book was very entertaining. After we read the book we watched the movie. I never realized how much i liked the book to later. Even now i still remember little details. The book is very entertaining for all ages. The book is about a kid who has a magical cupboard and missing key. The kid puts a indian action figure in it. He shuts the cupboard and turns the key. The indian action figures come to life and the adventures begin. Its a very good book and the movies good too.

Smiles Nwachukwu - If i were told to save a book for the future, it would be the Great Gaspy. The reason I choose The Great Gaspy is because it was very universl, even though it was based on the past it was still reflecting on what happens in the present. Unlike most books, it ended sadly. This made it more interesting because it teaches the reader a stronger lesson. Hands down Great Gaspy is the Hugh O'Callaghan

Joe O'Mara... like seriously--- IF I WERE TO SAVE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS SO THEY CAN READ IT, IT WOULD DEFFINATLY BE __GREEN EGGS AND BY DR. SEUSS__I WOULD WANT THIS TO BE SAVED BECAUSE ITS A GREAT CHILDRENS BOOK, ALSO ITS FUN FOR ALL AGES TO READ. IT IS A VERY EASY READ TO AND THERE ARE A LOT OF RHYMES IN IT.

Clarinda Reilly if i were to choose a book it would choose Socates in love. Its a heart warming love story. I've read the book and the graphic novel and both were amazing. But the book has a very sad ending. i think this book should be saved because its classic love story and tragdy of morden times. It shows Love, happiness, pain,and loss.

Angelina Shadwick - - If I was told that I could only keep one book for future generations I would choose the book Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. I would choose this book because it teachs alot of people a lesson to not bully others. This book would help alot of teenager because they would be able to relate to the book. The book was about a girl that got in to the wrong crowd during the summer and people picked on her the whole school year. This book relates to alot of people and could help them with thier problems -

Adam Smith - if i could save one book for future generations i would pick the outsiders because its the only book i remembered the best through out my neat life in interboro. It taught me great life skills and could teach many future generations things that they will remember for the rest of their lives. Great perserverance and courage through out the book. People will learn and love this book and carry these skills and pass them along to others. not to mentions its a great story line written by S.E. Hinton. Dustin Snell

Jake Southern

Alyssa Tillett - The book that I would save for future generations is the Death Speak. I think it was a very interesting book. The girl was a popular girl but when she calls the cops on an end of a Salesman summer party she becomes an outcast of the group. She called the cops because it has a universal theme something bad happened to her and won't tell. The girl gets raped by a boy from her school. Now that can relate to everyone no matter what time or place. One of the themes, dishonesty, especially stands out because it illustrates the importance of how being an honest and having an education can bring a person further in life than just getting by on looks alone. For example, Willy thought just being attractive and well liked will bring im success, the irony however is that what he thought would bring him success actually brought his downfall because she called the cops no one can just get through in life with just being attractive and well liked. Another exampe would be how Willy always condone Biffs stealing from all his employers and in the end Biff became a bum wasting his life away." I stole myself out of every job i had" - Biff. is willing to listen to why she called the cops.

Aimee Tompkins - If i could save any book for future generations I would save Night by Elie Wiesel. It's a book that tells an important story from a horrible event that should never be forgotten. Alot of the people who were first hand survivors of the Holocaust are dying from old age, which means their stories are going with them. Pretty soon there will be no survivors left and the only stories we have from that time are in books. I think its a good book to save because it's written very well and it is very easy to understand. It makes you feel the way they did and have empathy for them. This book helps people to understand what happened at that time in a way thats relatable. Corey Weible A book i would save for future generations would be DW A lifetime going around in cirlces by Darrel Waltrip with Jade Gurss. Not too many people would like this book but for any racing fan its a great book. I liked it because it told about a big era of the sport where Darrel Waltrip, Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt and many others raced hard. I liked it because it had some funny stories about his life like when he flipped his car over and it landed on his girlfriends front lawn. It also told about some of the sports history like how they would cheat and not get caught by NACAR officals. One time they used to put lead weights in the car and they would take them out during the first pit stop to save weight and make their cars faster. I liked reading about Nascars' history and how darrel got into it. he was one of my favorite drivers evenn though he was retired when i started watching. This book is recomended for any fan of the sport and should be saved for future generations.

Ashlee White - I would save Romeo and Juliet. I liked this book because it shows that you can love anyone you want to,and you shouldn't have to worry about what social class their in. Everyone should just learn to live with each other and just love someone for who they are and not just where they come from.

Faith Wright - if i had to choose a book to save for future generations,i would choose the outsiders. i would choose this novel because it gave you examples of problems teenagers at that time were facing. also i liked reading this book because the teacher kept the way we read interesting. also after we finished the book we had a project. also after we finished reading the teacher set aside almost a week just to show us the movie. we got to see the problems they faced in 2 different ways. Li Sha Wu - A book that I would save for future generations is the Death of a Salesman because it has a universal theme that can relate to everyone no matter what time or place. One of the themes, dishonesty, especially stands out because it illustrates the importance of how being an honest and having an education can bring a person further in life than just getting by on looks alone. For example, Willy thought just being attractive and well liked will bring im success, the irony however is that what he thought would bring him success actually brought his downfall because no one can just get through in life with just being attractive and well liked.
