This text has become a cornerstone of our literary discussions—it teaches students to look beyond the surface of a story and uncover deeper patterns, symbolism, and themes that connect across time and culture. Students are learning to recognize archetypes, understand how setting and weather contribute to meaning, and see how authors use familiar structures to communicate universal human experiences. It has truly elevated how they approach reading—not as passive consumers of plot, but as active interpreters of literature.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading has become an interactive and collaborative experience. Students annotate, debate interpretations, and connect insights from Foster's book to works like *The Great Gatsby*, *Macbeth*, and *Lord of the Flies*. Some students feel that they are now \"in on the secret\" when analyzing symbolism—a confidence that has carried into other classes as well. Other students, who once struggled with literary analysis, easily recognizes patterns of irony and biblical allusion in class discussion. Your generosity has helped spark these breakthroughs and turned reading into an act of discovery. We are deeply grateful for your support in helping students read—and think—like true scholars.","fullyFundedDate":1746787254775,"projectUrl":"project/lets-get-lit-getting-kids-ready-for-ap/9306673/","projectTitle":"Let's Get Lit!
