Independent Novels: Reflections

As you are reading the novel you selected for the final assignment in AP Literature, don't be intimidated by the task at hand. Your blog posts are simply another way of taking notes.  Write down your impressions, thoughts, and observations about the text. Immerse yourself in the novel and try to gain an understanding of the driving question within the novel as a whole. Don't be afraid to look at the work from multiple perspectives.  Analyze the literary piece through self-observation, and support your ideas with outside information when needed. Your blog post should reflect your interpretation of this work.  When writing, please include the author and the title of the work within your response. I encourage you to read the posts of your peers and ask questions to help each focus on his/her final question for the essay.
