In the Extensive Reading, I chose Wuthering heights for my second book. This book is told a story about the set on the Yorkshire moors of England. The book is an imaginative and moving story, but was not well received when it first appeared. Wuthering Heights is the name of an old house, set high up on the wind-swept Yorkshire moors. At the end of the eighteenth century it is home to the Earnshaw family. Anther family, the Lintons, live in the valley at the more comfortable Thrushcross Grange. Mr. Earnshaw, father of Catherine and Hindley, goes to Liverpool one day on business and brings home with him a child who has been living on the street in the worst part of the city. Mr. Earnshaw takes the child as his son, giving him the name of Heathcliff. Nothing is the same again. A chain of events begins which splits both families apart. Heathcliff’s influences on the family and particularly his emotional relationship with Catherine, the strong- willed daughter of the household, drive this beautiful and powerful story. If you interesting at this you can choose for your next book. I like this book because this reading level is good for me.
