1st AP Reading Assignment

I have chosen the book Billy Budd by Herman Melville as my first AP reading assignment. I chose this book because it has been used an many AP tests before it and I thought that the title of the book was interesting. I researched what it was about and learned that it is the story of a man impressed onto a sailor ship and forced into the United States Navy. This story sounds entertaining and will be a good book to start of the year with to get back into having to read.
