Here are your homeworks for the next module: The Outsiders
Remember to hand in one piece of homework each Wednesday - you should be spending at least an hour on each piece!
1. Read Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger - if you choose this option you must send a post (or put a note in your book) saying you are reading it (I will ask you questions once you have finished)
2. Choose another American novel to read - if you choose this option you must send a post (or put a note in your book) saying you are reading it (I will ask you questions once you have finished)
3. Write a short biography of Hinton
4. Write a short commentary on immigration in US history and how it has shaped the country's culture
5. Write a diary entry of an immigrant child arriving at Ellis Island in the 1920s
6. Does it surprise you that Hinton is female? Why do you think she chose to use her initials rather than her given feminine names?
7. Read or watch Romeo and Juliet and write a comment about the use of gangs and violence
8. Choose a character from the novel and write a comment about their life - what has influenced their decisions and led them to where they are at the end of the story?
9. Who is your favourite character and why?
10. Write a comment about the influence of violence in the novel
