Why do we have to annotate summer reading books?

best running shoes for me quiz image

I like reading. I really do. I read Wuthering Heights this summer for school, and loved it. However, I have to annotate it. That's pointing out and defining vocabulary words, pointing out bits of author's craft, figurative language, allusions, symbols, things that contribute to the theme, make connections, and keep a running list of characters that says what page they're introduced on, whether the author uses direct or indirect characterization, whether they're the protagonist or antagonist (when applicable) what kind of conflict they're having, and explain their role in the story. Why can't we just be quizzed on it, instead? Or even assign a book report? It's less work, and I think it's more considerate on the teacher's behalf, because in our school we also have to read a second book (not annotate it though, thank God), do summer math work, and I also have Art History and US History to do.

This is summer. Isn't the point of it to have a break from school? I want to spend time with my friends, not spend all of my time on assignments that the teacher describes as "not intellectually stimulating, but it is time consuming" (that was Art History, but still), especially when the assignment is as distasteful as annotating. I understand why they want us to read, but why do they also make us do another long, time-consuming project when they could easily test us on the book, or assign a book report? What makes annotations so much more valuable than other assignments that I might even enjoy? I would like the book so much more if I didn't have to mark everything in it.

I'm sorry but all I have to say is QUIT WHINING!

If I were in your shoes I'd be having fun with it and actually enjoying the assignment. Use it as a great learning opportunity and a chance to try something new. I'm a university student on break and I'm actually EAGER to get back in class and do homework again. If I had summer homework to do right now I'd actually be thrilled.

Try to make the best of it instead of complaining it about. You'll go back to school smarter and more well-read than many of your peers.
