If I am already using WEM, is HTRAB redundant?


Recommended Posts

HTRAB is much more in depth than WEM. Therein lies it's strength...and it's downfall. ;)

 

I don't think the WEM totally replaces it- I don't think it tries to . It does give you tools to analyze literature in a readable and enjoyable format. I don't think you'd be getting a second class education for choosing WEM to use for your Great Book discussions, if that's any help. In fact, WEM is set up to to help you succeed.

 

They're really different books; hard to do a comparison. Think if I were doing it over, I'd use WEM through high school and have her read HTRAB during her senior year. I wouldnt skip it. But I don't think it's best suited to a 13 or 14 year old.

 

There's an article on HTRAB at Wikipedia- if you read it over, it might give you a better idea of how the two books, WEM and HTRAB, differ.
