This office hours series is for anyone who wants help or has questions on analyzing high school-level literature. Feel free to bring questions on other topics too, and I will try to help as I can, but depending on the subject I may not have the skill to answer them. Note: I have NOT yet taken either of the AP English courses, so my ability to help with passages/questions of that level will be limited.
