On Wednesday, 4 November, I will ask for volunteers to read the dialogue beginning on page 118-"They certainly look cool," and ending on page 135-"No...I just remembered that today's my birthday."
Please do not volunteer if you did not do a "close" reading of the "conversation" that takes place. It is probably best that the same volunteers read through the dialogue, rather than assigning other students to read-aloud after several pages.
Approach this task as if you were reading a play. Decide before hand on your character-prepare by reading aloud that "part."
We will discover together why this chapter is considered to be the climax of the novel.
