<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">-Second, find 4 quotes from the final third of your novel to analyze. Quotes should be moments that stood out or seemed significant to YOU. (There aren't specific quotes that fit this assignment best, and using the same quotes as others reading your novel will look suspicious.)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">-In your analysis, explain which literary terms each quote could be identified as---list any and all literary terms that apply. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">-Choose two quotes to go into a deeper explanation of what they helped you better understand about the story and how they helped showcase a specific literary term. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">-Third, tell what message about war seems most emphasized through your literary terms. Keep in mind, this is different than just finding a theme.

Make sure that your message has the word ‘war,’ or something similarly connected, in it. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">-Fourth, explain how your understanding of the message about war changed from the last section. If it didn’t change, explain what other factors didn’t change. (Pointing to literary terms as factors is an effective way to approach this.)</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">-Reflect on your novel overall. What did you like/not like about it? Was it easy to follow? Was it easy to find literary terms? Would you recommend it to future students doing this assignment?</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">To exceed: Respond to someone else’s post with a comparison of a quote from your novel with a quote from theirs. It must be a different quote from each of you.
