For your next blog post, please answer (about your independent reading book) one of the questions we've collected in class. Elaborate on your answer, use evidence from your book, and generally meet the requirements of any blog post according to the reading response rubric (posted further down!)
Use the notes from class about each question to help you expand your answer!
The questions are:
1) What really difficult or complex things are happening in the text?
2) Whose perspective is missing?
3) How does the text make you think about justice in the world?
4) When do you find yourself resisting the text?
