TAKING AN AP ENGLISH CLASS? I PROBABLY HAVE AN ESSAY ON EVERY BOOK YOU HAVE TO READ, CHECK OUT MY OTHER PAPERS. While I am now in college, the majority of the essays I have chosen to upload were written for my high school AP English class. By no means to say they are not college level essays, but the novels and plays I have chosen were suitable for such a class. Of course, they all received A's. The philosophy/science essays not related to novels were written as part of my undergraduate work.
