Vacation Reading

Over the break, please complete the first novel in your author study. We´ll have a summative timed writing the day we return from break. It will be similar to The Stranger timed writing. You´ll be given an axiom, maxim or proposition and you´ll have to apply this to the book you read. You´ll be asked to cite from the book, so make sure you bring it with you.
