How do I approach the Scholars' Summer Reading Assignment?

Help! I don't know what to do for the summer reading assignment for Scholars Sophomores. It says to write about the signifigance of particular quotes to the book.

Does this mean to relate the theme of each quote to the theme of the entire book, or something else? Basically. When I had to do it, the directions for the 9th grade and 10th grade summer reading were the same.

This is how I approached it: What I did was pick a theme which was brought out by a specific major quote. Then, I used other quotes from throughout the book to prove that it was a major theme and what the author was trying to convey/portray. You can do this about a general theme in the book, or a character analysis -- using quotes to analyze a specific feature/attribute/personality/action of a certain character.

The best way to approach this, in my opinion, is to think carefully about one big message you got from reading the book. First think more about what you learned from the story (the moral, etc), than the ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
