Dystopian Journal 2

English teachers love to use the term "significance".  What is the significance of the passage, character book... but rarely do we explain how to address a question that asks you to find "significance".

Your assignment:  Identify a significant passage from your novel and explain why it is significant.

How can a passage be significant?  Look for some of the following:
Characters: key characterization, moments of conflict, or moments which resolve conflicts
Setting:  Description of setting
Style: Motifs, symbols, structure, contrasts or oppositions...
Themes

What to do: Choose a passage that is no longer than a page.  In the opening paragraph, describe your passage and identify the page(s) in which it can be found.  After the paragraph describing your paragraph, identify why the passage is significant to the novel.  For each significant point, state significant follow with a colon, identify the specific aspect (characterization, setting, technique...), follow with a short explanation.
