TOP TWO QUOTES FROM YOUR SECTION
Pick the two most important quotes form your section. Post the quote with page number, and answer the following questions: Who said it? What was happening at the time? Why is it important to the book as a whole (in other words, explain what themes it connects to and how)? Don't forget your name! If you can't remember the pages of your section, they are on this week's work list.
TOP THREE THEMES
Choose the three most important themes of the book that are NOT already on the list. Use two-three sentences to describe the theme and its importance to the book. Make sure to include your name!

Free Choice
Choose a section we have not yet discussed in class and explain why you think it is significant to the book.
Lit. Letters

Symbols
Pick a symbol that arises in the section assigned, include the page number where it first appears, and say what you think it symbolizes and why.
