Independent Reading #3

Comment on your author’s style.  What patterns in diction and structure do you see throughout the novel (not just a pattern that appears through one paragraph)?  How does his/her style affect your reading of the novel?  How does it compare to other works you have read that were published in different literary periods?

Independent Reading #2

Which character is the most interesting in your novel?  What makes him/her/it so intriguing?  How would the novel change if this character was absent or largely altered?

Independent Novel #1 ***Everyone must respond to this question***

What is the first sentence of your book?  What impression did it leave you with?  Did that impression prove to be true as you continued past the first line?  What did the line tell you about the author’s style/diction/etc?  Be sure to include the title and author of your book since we are all reading different things!
