Blog #11, DUE: Friday, Dec. 2nd

Post your book title, author, and page #.

Briefly describe a specific scene that you read this past week. Then explain why you think the author chose to include this scene in the book. Remember: You should be insightful and not put an incredibly obvious answer. Write this carefully because I will be somewhat strict in the grading.

Post the title/author/page # of your book.

From the pages/chapters you have read this week, find a metaphor, simile, or personification. Type out the sentence/passage and tell us whether it is a simile, metaphor, or personification. Tell us specifically what it means and how it relates to what's going on in your novel.

Blog #9, DUE: November 11, 2011

Tell us the title of your book, the author, and the page # you are on.

We have practiced a lot with characterization and the five forms of indirect characterization.

1. Choose ONE of the forms of indirect characterization. Tell which indirect characterization method you are using (no numbers, be specific with which form of indirect characterization).

2. Give a specific example from your book of that indirect characterization.

3. Tell us the character trait that this shows about the character (remember, this should be an adjective).
