Model Writing | Group Annotations Turn and Talk: What are the components of a literary analysis paragraph? Studio Time | Theme
Theme considers the social and cultural implications of the book. It is an opportunity for you as the reader to develop a main idea or a message you think is relevant to the novel you are reading. These ideas are generally associated with human nature and development, societal issues, or worldly views. It is why you think the book is important to read.
Don't forget your cyberjournal must contain these required elements:

Do Now | Cyberjournal Conflict: Conflict is the major obstacle the main character must overcome within the novel in order to find personal success in their life. Sometimes this obstacles is another character like Harry Potter needing to defeat Lord Voldemort; sometimes this obstacle is internal, forcing the main character to overcome their own mind like Aza in Turtles All The Way Down needing to gain control over her obsessive compulsive disorder; Sometimes this obstacle is the physical world like in the Ship Breaker series where the many characters must overcome the deteriorating, war-torn world around them full of flooding and hurricanes.
Consider how the conflict in your novel represents a conflict in young adult that has existed in the past and will continue to be recreated in the future. Also, consider the following:
