END OF BOOK ASSESSMENT

Please be sure to take your time on each of the following THREE blogs as they are worth 10 points each and require SPECIFIC evidence to support them. They should be several sentences long and should show evidence of good writing skills (i.e. grammar and mechanics). GOOD LUCK!! :-)

Minor Characters

Most of you asked several questions about the novel's main characters on your HSPA "tests" last week. Identify one MINOR character who, although minor, plays an important role in the book in terms of what the character discovers about life or about him or herself. Then explain why that character is important in that way.

**We will define "minor character" here as one who ONLY appears in one scene of the novel, not one that appears in several chapters of the novel. (10 points)

Conflicts Unresolved

Identify one SPECIFIC internal or external conflict that could be described as yet UNRESOLVED at the end of the novel. Explain using SPECIFIC evidence from the novel. (10 points)
