CHOOSE ONE of the writing prompts below and write TWO well-developed paragraphs answering the guiding questions from the prompt.

Choose an object—not a person—from your book. It should be something that seemed especially resonant or important to the story. Then, answer the following questions about the object: · Why did it seem so important? · What about the way it was described or the way characters interacted with the object made it seem so important? · How was the object used in the novel to portray any significance? 3. Any creative work is ultimately influenced by the historical and cultural context of the time it was written (for example, a Holocaust novel being written by a survivor of this event). · Describe how historical/personal events affected your interpretation of the plot. · What specific message do you think the author meant for the novel to carry for the people of the time? · What message did you take away from reading the novel?
