First, write a paragraph that answers the following question:

How do the characters/individuals from two of the following texts (a novel, a documentary, and a short story) cope the problems they face because of society?

Provide examples from TWO of the following to support your response: A) the novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime by Mark Haddon, or B) the film Life, Animated featuring Owen Suskind, or C) the short story, "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" by A.C. Doyle.

Once written, copy and paste your paragraph as a comment to this blog entry. Remember to only use your New Trier email account, and first and last names when posting. Depending on your firewall settings, you may have to post as a guest, which is fine—only submit your name and school email.

Then, read the other paragraphs written by students in 2nd and 4th period. Choose the THREE that you feel BEST answer the question (yours should NOT be one of the three). We will discuss the “best” three in class on Thursday.
