I have 1 more as well if you can help: 6. What theme is presented in this novel? Use 3-4 specific passages from the book to help explain how the author builds this theme throughout the book. Be sure that you begin with a topic sentence here that explains the theme and the author's opinion on that theme. Then include your evidence from the text. Use at least one quotation (formatted properly) to really build your case.
