5. The narrator says on page 87: “For there are two possible reactions to social ostracism– either a man emerges determined to be better, purer, and kinder or he goes bad, challenges the world and does even sorse things. This last is by far the commonest reaction to stigma.” Do you agree? support or refute that statement with “real world” evidence.  Has the narrator treated this theme earlier in the book?

Semester Retrospective (look back)
One harsh critizism of a book or story is to say, “It was just one damn thing after another.”
Humans seek the meaning of things.
Create a document with your memories and take-aways from the first semester at SWA - September to December 2012.
School stuff, non-school stuff, good, bad or in-between.
Take pictures, draw some, chart your math test scores, scan your best history writing, your favorite quotes from English, your friends, teachers, parents, street corner, art projects.
Try to focus on 3 to 5 items and give each a few slides, pictures, words.
Make a title slide and a conclusion slide and 20 or so in-between.
Chart some growth or a fall back
Make it beautiful
Publish - or at least make sure I get a copy on a flash drive because this will determine whether you get credit for this elective class.
