Independent Novels

Independent Novels - Final Project

1. Give the author's name and a brief outline of his or her biography. Please use your own words in order to avoid plagiarism.

2. Name and describe the main character(s). Are they static or dynamic? What motivates them? (A static character does not change, a dynamic character changes as a result of his or her experiences)

3. What is the novel's setting? Why, in your opinion, did the author choose this setting for this novel?

4. Describe some of the main events. Where in your novel does the climax take place?

Choose one of the following questions to answer:

1. What are the scenes, incidents or moments which you remember most vividly?
2. Can you identify any important theme or idea with which the novel deals? Do the problems or issues get resolved or are they simply explored?
3. Did you learn anything from the story that you did not know before? Explain (this could be facts or simply seeing something from a different perspective?)
4. Does the novel interest you, irritate you or both? Explain
5. If you could be any character in the novel, who would you be? Why that character?
6. Would you like to read more books from the same author? Why?
7. Explain why the novel did or did not end the way you had hoped it would.
8. Can you imagine yourself reading the novel again in 10 years? Would you suggest it to a friend? Explain
