Quote Master    

Have you noticed as you are reading A Farewell to Arms that the characters often say amazing, extremely significant things?  As you read, copy some of the more significant quotes and take notes to help you remember who is speaking, other characters involved, and details about the situation.

***After you have finished reading 10 chapters, you can complete this project.

1.  Choose 5 significant quotes from at least 5 different chapters
2.  Write a 1/2  page reaction to each
3.  Write the complete quote, and page number at the top
4.  In one sentence include the speaker, the listener(s) and what's going on
    Your other 8-10 sentences should include your reaction to what is said
5.  Begin your reaction with a phrase that expresses your opinion.  Here are a few examples, but feel free to choose your own:
                    I agree     I disagree     I like      or I don't like
6.  Type all your work
 

Here's an example from Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird to get you started.
    "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view-until you climb into his skin and walk around in it"(30)

    Atticus gives this piece of advice to Scout as he counsels her on how to understand people and what makes them react the way they do.  I agree with Atticus ... Now, I could talk about :

jumping to conclusions
prejudging people
getting to know the real person
a real-life situation where this has occurred
being sympathetic to others
and develop a strong argument to support my opinion.
 

This project is worth 25 points.  Good Luck!
