Time to work on Letter to a Character
Compose a letter to a character in the space provided. Within the letter, discuss your feelings about their role or the choices they make. Do you approve/disapprove? Why/why not? Refer to specific instances in the novel that brought you to this decision. If you were in their shoes, what might you do differently or the same?
Do not summarize the plot of the story, but explain to the character how you feel about their role. Be honest, personal, and conversational. Exploring why you react the way you do to literature is a valuable lesson because it teaches you about yourself.
