 * Choose one of the 3 prompts inspired by your Socratic circle discussions. Respond in a blog post of at least 500 words, making sure to incorporate "PEE". (Essay format! Twice as much explanation as text evidence! Structure, structure, structure!) ||


 * Throughout Book I, we have gotten to know Absalom's father, Stephen Kumalo. You should be able to describe him as a round character and as a dynamic character. What makes this character realistic? Describe Kumalo. What positive and negative attributes make up his personality? How has this experience changed him?


 * What would you consider Paton's most prominent theme to be at this point in the novel?


 * Paton often goes into great detail to describe the land in South Africa. How is the land symbolic in relation to the story and to Paton's overall message?

We will also work in class on these on Thursday and Friday.

=Reading!!! =

Here’s a head’s up for you…. You will need to read Book II (pages 161-250) of //Cry, The Beloved Country// over spring break. I’m telling you now because that officially gives you 2 weeks to read that section. You will be tested when we return after spring break!
