Question of the Week - Question of the Week #31: American Writers
I agree with @adrialien--this is a tough choice! I guess I'll have to go by my favorite American novels to pick:
1 To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee)
2 The Great Gatsby (F. Scott Fitzgerald)
3 Winesburg, Ohio (Sherwood Anderson)
I suppose that I would pick Harper Lee because I love her writing style--I love how she tells a story which even children can enjoy while dealing with quite serious issues. I like writers who can intertwine a character's day-to-day life and their greatness in taking a stand for the things in which they believe.
