    Directions: Each blog entry should include an insightful comment, direct references (or quotes) to the book, and a question or comment wherein you pose a thoughtful idea that should generate a more in-depth response to the novel. Merely agreeing or disagreeing with another student comment will not accrue a passing grade. Plan to respond with at least three comments over the course of the two days, and be sure to respond to each other rather than compiling information and typing it without scrutinizing the words of your classmates.
