Directions:  Each student is responsible for reading three books over the summer.  For two of the three books each student will complete the reading journal.  The whole journal is not a summary, only 1 paragraph is. I do not want a recap of the events of the book, but I want you to relate the book to the human condition.  In other words what is the author saying about life in general.  That is when you use quotes to justify your claim about the authors intended commentary on life.
