Blog #11, Due: Friday, Nov. 30th
Post your book's title and author. Write a possible theme statement for your novel. Based on what you have read so far, what do you think the theme of the novel is? (Or: What do you think will be the theme if you can predict the ending?) Make sure you explain why you chose that theme.

Blog #9, DUE: Saturday, Nov. 10th
Post the title and author of the book you're currently reading.
Choose a character from your novel and briefly explain who this character is. What is a book that you think this character would enjoy reading? Explain why. Don't give the first, easiest, most obvious answer that pops into your head. Try to dig a little deeper as to what book this character would enjoy.

Find an allusion in your novel. Write the allusion and explain WHY the author chose to include it.
