Today's assignment

Hi everyone,

Sorry to have to miss class today. I've not been able to shake this virus, and I'm feeling particularly lousy today. So, instead of an actual class, I'm going to ask you to post something here on the blog to get us going on Monkey Beach.

First, if you haven't already answered the previous post about your reactions to the book, please do so now.

Here's your assignment for today that I would like you to complete before Friday.

What do you think are some of the main themes of this novel?

Once you've answered that with a few ideas about the key themes in this book, choose one theme in particular and find (and tell us about) two passages from the novel that connect to that theme.

I look forward to your responses to this and to seeing you again on Friday!
