Novel+paper

This project needs thinking about over the three weeks of the semester.

Stages

A. Pick a novel in the library. It must be of reasonable literary merit. (i.e. not Harry Potter, Twilight, Gossip Girls, etc) B. Read it. C. Write this paper:

1. Pick a juicy paragraph in the novel -- in other words, one that you think shows some major ideas in the novel 2. Type it out (do NOT photocopy it, or copy and paste it from an e-text; the act of typing it will really help you with this assignment). 3. Write a 3-paragraph paper (each paragraph should be at least half a page, usual font and spacing). Follow these instructions exactly:

Para. 1. What happens in the paragraph, and what is its context? Paras. 2/3 Pick two major/important themes in the paragraph, explain them, and relate to other passages in the novel
