Title Book, Author, total pages, pages read up to date
Choose one particularly powerful or rich paragraph (t least 5 lines) that captures one major theme in your independent reading book. Copy down the paragraph and specify the page number the paragraph is from. Then:
Write a 1-2 paragraph analysis of that passage in which you analyze how the writer uses literary devices to give voice to that theme. Summarizes what the passage says in terms of the big ideas/theme. Then, discuss the use of specific literary devices (how it’s said): powerful word choices, syntax, figurative language, tone, mood, setting). Lastly, explain the effect of these devices on the reader and how they help the writer illuminate the theme you identified (why it’s said that way). Use specific textual evidence, cited with correct MLA format.
