Literature Circle Book Response


Character Commandant - Your job is to think about the main character or characters featured in the first two or three chapters of your book.  What are they doing?  What are they thinking or saying?  How are they feeling?  Are they facing any conflicts or problems?  Have they reached any epiphanies or made any insights or realizations?  Are they experiencing hardship or good fortune?  What details about the character(s) does the author reveal?
Task:  Generate five textual citations (page numbers) that contain noteworthy information about a main character or characters.  Summarize the material in one to two paragraphs for each textual reference.
