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!
