    First Paragraph: Synopsis/Summary
    Tell me which book you read and identify the author. Explain what the book is about. Tell me how the plot
    diagram folds out in your book. Be sure to emphasize how characters develop through the text. Which
    characters are static? Which characters are dynamic? Do not worry about spoilers. What were major events that
    stood out to you? What kind of conflict do you notice?
    Second Paragraph: Your Opinion
    Give me your opinion of the book. Did you like it? Hate it? Love it? Explain your opinion. In this section, you
    need to find three examples from the book and tell me how these textual examples solidified your opinion.
    Example: I did NOT like Twilight, because Bella was too dependent on Edward and did not seem to
    think about herself. In the book, she says, You are my life. Youre the only thing it would hurt me to
    lose (#). Her excessive need for Edward in her life shows teenage girls that unhealthy and unrealistic
    relationships are okay. Bella shows no individuality. This also shows teenage girls that they need
    someone else to be important.
    Third Paragraph: Recommendations
    Who would you recommend this book to? This could be an individual person or maybe a type of person. For
    example, basketball players, English teachers, romantics, etc.)/ Make sure that you explain why this person or
    group of people would enjoy this book. You need to make a recommendation, even if you personally hated the
    book. Really think about who might like it, even if you did not.
