AFTER READING

LIST G.T.'s real name on the CHARACTER CHART.
Write a main idea title for this chapter.
Discuss what big deception Hope uncovers by accident?

How did she find out?
What will she and others do about it?
What might change?

Reread the quote on p. 167, middle: "You don't understand the power you have until you use it..."
Do a Quick Write in your RESPONSE JOURNAL.

Write as fast as you can and as much as you can relating what is happening in the story at this turning point to something you know has happened to you or someone you know.


Reread the Biblical metaphor p. 167: "Joshua shouted down the walls of Jericho." Explain what it means or ask someone to explain it to you or go on a search to find out.
This chapter ends with several good examples of Figurative Language being used. What are they? What do they mean?

(Footnote) Figurative Language / Figures of Speech:

"Mode of expression used for effect in writing to clarify or deepen meaning by suggesting new or similar ideas which provoke thought and promote understanding."

Simile: "like" or "as" used for comparison, (p. 166 bottom, "dressed like Eskimos")

Metaphor: name or quality is attributed to something which is not literally applicable, "an icy glance" or "nerves of steel"
