Tonight, complete question #3 of "The Inheritor" and read the entry on "allusion" at the back of the text (p.312).
To answer question #3, remember that to discuss the purpose, central idea or theme of a piece of writing, you must first complete the following sentence in a word or two:
This book/story/poem is about _________________________.
In class, we said that the story could be about compassion, morals, priorities, and survival. We could have come up with even more words; however, from this list of four, choose one word and answer the following prompt in a sentence or two:
This story is saying what about ______(compassion or morals or priorities or survival)?
