For this part of the assignment, choose a novel that focuses on some element of technology and how it has or can become dangerous or problematic. Technology is not just computers, but any application of scientific knowledge, skills, methods, or processes for practical, industrial, and/or human purposes (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.
