Book/Reading Project—Quarter 2
English III Honors
1. Plot/Pacinq: Create an appropriate ANIMAL METAPHOR for the plotline and/or pacing of the novel (tortoise? rabbit? Kodiak bear? antelope? cheetah?) Use examples from the novel to illustrate your choice. If the plotline morphs at various points of the story into other types of animals, please explain. If working with a partner, please explain any differences of opinion you may have in this area. Please relate how YOU FEEL about the pacing as it pertains to your enjoyment of the novel. (250-400 words)
11. Major Characters: Rate the major characters of the novel using the following formatI feel we could be close friends; We could hang out together; He/She is okay, but we’re too different to relate to each other; I don’t much care for him/her; I would cross the street in order to avoid him/her. In each case, explain why you feel the way you do through a discussion of the character’s traits and actions. In the case of a character who is much older or younger than yourself, you may feel free to say,” If So-and-so weren’t so much older than I am, we could hang out,” or “Even if So-and-so weren’t so much older than I am, I would still cross the street to avoid him.” Be clear and detailed. If working with a partner, be sure to include any differences of opinion you may have about the characters. (300-500 words)
3.
Cinematic Elements: Choose three scenes from the novel that you feel would play well as movie scenes. Each of these scenes should be vital to the arc of the story, and should be scenes you would consider the best, or the most dramatic, or the funniest, or the most heart-rending in the book. Set each scene with enough detail to place the reader there; and explain why you feel each scene is important. Rank them (1, 2 or 3) and explain your ranking. If working with a partner, explain any differences of opinion as to ranking, or add in a scene one of you thinks deserving of making the list but the other does not. (400-600 words)
IV.
Sales Pitch: Create a written sales pitch for your novel to a dubious buyer. Depending on your own enthusiasm for the book, sell with the proper level of zeal and belief in the “product.”If the book did not fire your engines, create practical uses for it. If it wowed you, feel free to tell the buyer it will change his life, butter his biscuits, and remove mildew stains from his shower (or whatever you want—-be creative). (100-200 words).
