November Book Grade 10

What kind of book to look for… Do Not: Choose a book because you’ve seen the movie/ tv show and were inspired to read the book. Pick up any old book and just ‘make do’ Pick a book from the young adult section

What ARE you going to look for… You want to find a book that pushes you completely out of your comfort zone. Get out of the Teen/Young Adult section Take on heavier subject matter/ is set in a different time period than our own? Search for a book where you have the opportunity to gain insight about someone else’s life. Opening up your world to another person’s experience.

Books that fit the bill… Lord of the Flies- Golding Catcher in the Rye- Salinger Night- Elie Wiesel Fahrenheit 451- Bradbury The Great Gatsby- Fitzgerald 1984- Orwell Brave New World- Huxley The Handmaid’s Tale- Atwood Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close- Foer The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time- Haddon Of Mice and Men- Steinbeck The Alchemist- Coelho Life of Pi- Martel Dracula- Stoker Frankenstein- Shelly Picture of Dorian Gray- Wilde Water for Elephants- Gruen To Kill a Mockingbird- Lee

Reading Time Budget your pages: do the math and write it on your bookmark You have 28 days to finish your book. Final Day: June 5th How many pages is your book? How many pages would you have to read everyday to keep on track? Ex. 500 page book/28 days = 17.8 pages = 18 pages everyday

Symbolism Entry

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THWrno6lBUQ As a carrion bird, ravens became associated with the dead and with lost souls. In Sweden they are known as the ghosts of murdered persons.

Symbolism: the use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities.

Author’s Craft

Finding your own Symbols As you read your novel you must be inferring and considering what the author has done on purpose. It might be… An item that the characters possess A color that the author uses A character in and of themselves (Frankenstein’s monster) An animal Can ideas in your novel be represented by a NOUN (person, place, thing)?

Symbolizes: fear, death, misunderstanding, selfishness, scientific curiosity. Frankenstein is a character in the novel, but he grows to symbolize even more than he is.
