feelings and stuff like that. It’s one

Use this time to go back and fill in your notes from Chapter 9 & 10.
• Make sure the quotes you transcribe are sufficient. If you just copy
down a quote you hope will be “just enough” you will be hurting
yourself in the end.
• Find those quotes that fully explain.
• Imagine yourself using the quote to answer a question about the
novel to someone who has NOT read it.
