For Monday

1) Read Chapters 13-15
2) find a passage of significance of no more than 3 sentences
3) write a paragraph (8-10 sentences) about that passage. You may want to write a sentence or two about the context of the passage (what's going on) and then write about why the passage is significant. Is it foreshadowing? does it reflect something about a character? Does it highlight issues with a relationship between two characters?
*Please include the passage and page # on your paper.
