Annotations, take 1!

Well, here Kristin and I sit in the Avondale library during AP English class. I’ve finally chosen all of the passages for my annotations, as well as discovered two excellent background sources in the back of my book. Both are letters, though, so I’m going to have to find another one that is an interview or something else. I have yet to go through the criticism, but since my book is packed with it, I’m sure I’ll find something to suit my fancy.

This book was full of passages I wanted to annotate – I started out with somewhere around twelve orange sticky notes and had to narrow it down to three. This proved much harder than I thought it would be, but in the end, I chose three that were spaced out throughout the book, and helped to emphasize three different themes or central ideas of the book. This will make writing the introduction to the annotations harder than if I were to choose three passages that advanced the same general theme, but this will make it so that each of my annotations are different, and not all talking about the same thing.

Off to write an annotation – Happy reading! :]
