Literary Analysis

where is it, when was it added, why were books removed from the 2006 edition of core 100? There is great detail in Core 100 that will allow a student with no literary analysis background to come into Core 100 without having completed LA 7. Each piece of literature has setting, characters, point of view, conflict, and theme identified in the study guide.
