Hunter began reading "The Book Thief". He seemed to really enjoy it and appeared interested in the story because he read more than I asked him to! We discussed the prologue and the beginning chapters leading up to Part One. We analyzed figurative language and distinguished between metaphors and personification. We discussed the theme of color and the author's tone. Hunter began completing graphic organizers related to these topics, We looked to specific quotes from the book to see how the author used figuarative language.
