The palm trees bowing their heads in the salty, tropical breeze and the crash of the waves on the sand brought a smile to Jennifer’s face. Although she was happy to be enjoying the perks of Hawaii, this was still very much a working holiday.
Her days were spent imprisoned in a conference room with the rest of her inmate colleagues. Listening to presentations on bookkeeping and bonds with the beautiful beach outside was truly a burden. When the day ended, Jennifer
left the building like an animal breaking free from
its crate.

3. The Book Thief
Turn to page 207. We’re going to read to page 222, and then you’ll read and annotate pages on your own (don’t worry – it’s mostly pictures!).
As we read: Make sure you’re paying attention and annotating as we go! It will help you remember what’s happening. 
As you read: Don’t forget to annotate! You will need at least one well-thought out, 2+ sentence annotation per page

4. Character Maps! Goals for Today:
Continue working on your character maps! Remember:
All fifteen characters need a visual representation
You need fifteen arrows describing the relationships
Five of the central characters need a quote from the text that show something significant about their personality or character.
For your five chosen quotes, you need a brief analysis (2-3 sentences) describing the importance of the line. Consider: What does your quote show about the character? Justify its importance.
