Outside Reading for an Inside Perspective

Since our first ORB reading has come to an end, it is time to share and reflect on what you have read. Literature is a unique opportunity that individuals can use to gain access to a different or deeper understanding of societal problems, flaws or issues.

For this post, you will reference your ORB and quotation tracker:

I. Provide a brief synopsis of your ORB (include title and author).
II. Explain how your ORB addresses different societal issues throughout the novel (you must include and reference at least 2 of your quotations from your tracker).

• What societal issue or concern does your ORB address in the novel?
• HOW does your author introduce the issue or concern? Do they discuss it directly? Do they imply it through parallels, characters, etc?
• What impact does it have on the society in the novel?

III. How can your ORB serve as a way to comment on OUR current societal problems or flaws? Essentially, where and how do you see the issue from your novel in our current world? What do you think we should do to address this issue?

Remember, your post must:

• have a title that reflects the content of your post
• be at least 250 words
• organized into paragraphs
• have an image related to your societal concern/issue
• answer all parts of the prompt
