3. Quote Analysis
An author can describe important events in a story by telling you about them:
 Sometimes what a character says (and how he says it) is just as important as what happens. It can tell us what the person talking is like, and what has happened in the past or will happen in the future. You can learn a lot from a quote by explaining it in four parts, called a “quote analysis:”
1) Write the quote and the page it comes from. Put it in quotation marks.
2) Explain who said those words, and to whom they were talking (one to two sentences.)
3) Paraphrase the quote.
That means put it in different words that mean the same thing. Don’t use quotation marks because quotation marks mean you are writing exactly the words that were said (two to four sentences).
4)Explain what this quote tells you about this character or the person in the story. What kind of person would say these thing? Why would they say it? What would they have to know, or be thinking about, to say it?

4. You deserve what you want when you’re trying your best to fight for it, no one can take that right from you.
Don’t let anyone ever make you feel like you don’t deserve what you want. – Heath Ledger, from 10 Things I Hate About You
For each quote and film clip, predict/infer the significance of the quote.

5. You don’t need to hide yourself because you’re afraid of what others think of you. You have the choice to live your own life.
It is not our abilities that show what we truly are… it is our choices. – Dumbledore, from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
