Today, spend some time discussing the book. What parts did you like, not like? What would you have done differently if you were the author? What did you think about the characters, the theme, the plot, the setting? Would this story work in a different genre or style or point of view? Defend your answers.
Also, discuss the bildungsroman form and the self discovery archetype. How does Bobby become an adult through this book?
When you are finished discussing with your group, finish writing your Penfield Poetry poems. Turn in your poetry drafts by the end of class today.
4th period, we will meet to continue reading "Love that Dog" next door in room a240.
There will be a quiz on this novel next class. You should know the bildungsroman archetype as it applies to the plot; you should be familiar with major characters and events in the novel as well.
