Purpose: to demonstrate your ability to take a passage (quote) from a literary work (book) analyze it on three levels: Expectations: You will need to write at least three paragraphs as follows: 1. Put the quote in context of what is happening in the story at the current time. Should include some background on the book's overall plot as well. 2. Connect the quote to bigger ideas and themes in the overall book. Some examples: a. Does the quote tell us something important about a character? If so, what makes it important? b. Does it foreshadow an event that is to happen later? If so, what is the event? c. Does it help you understand the theme of the book? If so, what is that theme? d. Where else in the book does the author present this idea to you? 3. Reflect on the passage and its personal meaning to you and what you know/think/feel about the world. This part can be very personal and internal or very political and external. You could also make connections to other characters in pieces of literature that you have read/seen.
