If you were absent today, here is a copy of the Character Analysis worksheet.
You may use the worksheet and your journal to write the essay tomorrow. Here is your prompt:
Choose one element of the author’s style (diction, tone, characterization) or the novel's theme and compare and contrast this element as it applies to each main character, Marcus or Will, throughout Chapters 1-16. How are these elements used before and after the characters meet? Use examples from the text to support your argument.
We wrote over a major theme before the last essay (connection and emotional bonds). You may elaborate on this theme for the essay today.

This is confusing. Why cant we go over the prompts in class and use the book to write the essay??????? And can you print this (the prompt) for us to use durring the essay instead of the projector?? i dont mean to be a dick or anything but this is crazy.

Definitely. I'll print a copy for each of you to use, but you must use the handout and your journals for the essay tomorrow. No books.
