The American Experience (Prentice Hall Literature) Penguin Edition Grade 11

In 1630 John Winthrop, the Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony said, "We shall be as a city upon a hill, the eyes of all people are upon us; so that if we deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken and so cause him to withdraw his present help from us, we shall be made a story and by-word through the world."And so much has been written in literature about the American experience. Through these many readings you will take the pulse of this emerging nation decade by decade. The ways and manners of our ancestors will be described word by word, year by year. And on the other end, you will come out with a better understanding of the good and the ugly that has been woven into our fabric known as the American experience.This American literature is truly the window to our soul and history of the development of this great nation.IIt's a big book with over 1300 pages of text. It exudes the life and deaths of our forefathers. It reads of the good and the ugly that can be found throughout our developments as a nation. It is a living expression written by people who lived by the experience and not by those who researched the material 100 or 200 years later and tried to weave a story from the many words devoted to a particular era. This is real, this is powerful, this is life in its rawest form. Read and learn.

Grade 11

This is exactly the book. We bought this to keep our son from lugging such a heavy text book back and forth every day . It was in great condition and exactly the copy used at school .

I was pleased with price and the amount of time in the shipping. Amazon did great. Unfortunitly, the book itself is rather boring.

I am very pleased with the quality and the text book. Plus, I was very pleased with how quick I received the text book since my child had some summer school classes that she was taking.

Thanks for sending so quickly, needed replacement pfor one my son lost..... needed thwe California version but this one is in great shape Thanks

Great service and good condition of the book. It was as described. Will recomend to anyone.

Disjointed and poorly organized
