Without looking at the book, try to recall or reinvent the first sentence of the following classics:
Camus's
The Stranger: I'm French and the world is terribly depressing.
Fitzgerald's
The Great Gatsby: I'm hanging out with rich people and the world is terribly depressing.
Lee's
To Kill a Mockingbird: I'm a kid in the Deep South and the world is terribly depressing.
Bradbury's
Fahrenheit 451:
I'm living in the future and the world is terribly depressing.
Yeah, that about sums it up. ;-)
