For this part of the assignment, Choose a novel that is written by or about a person(s) from a minority group. Minority is not just about race and ethnicity, but any group that has ever been marginalized or disenfranchised for any reason (if you need a recommendation, consult the school’s summer reading website.). Read and annotate the novel meaningfully. Take note of specific characters, the setting, the narrator, major conflicts/events, symbols, etc. Complete a quote journal in which you use quotations from the beginning, middle, and end of the book to analyze the author's use of literary techniques to construct his/her work. The journal must be typed and page numbers included for all quotations. Detailed instructions for the quote journal are printed in the Google Document below.
