You will also post the link to your TEAR as a comment to this Assignment #2 blog (minor grade). Be sure, as always, to include your first initial, last name, period, and link to your TEAR in the post.

Below are the topics for your TEAR. Include three E and A couplets.

Topic One: Analyze a character from your novel whose mind is pulled in conflicting directions by two compelling desires, ambitions, obligations, or influences.

Topic Two: Select a primary character from your novel and write a well-organized essay in which you show how a character’s demise helps to illuminate the meaning of the work as a whole.

Topic Three: In a well-organized essay discuss a character that must contend with some aspect of the past, either personal or societal, and show how their relation to the past contributes to the meaning of the work as a whole.
