Q1 +Q3 = Brilliance

As you finish the book, you will need to uncover your own observation that binds a theme from our novel to several of the sources linked below.  You may use one of the two quotes here or search out a pearl on your own to use to anchor your Q3.  Next, you will thread your response with the sources below.

Man is a mystery. It needs to be unraveled, and if you spend your whole life unraveling it, don't say that you've wasted time. I am studying mystery because I want to be a human being.

                                       Fyodor Dostoevsky, in a letter to his brother, August 16, 1839. 

By cowardiceI do not mean fear.  Cowardice...is a label we reserve for something a man does.  What passes through his own mind is his own affair.

Make sure your argument is central; use the sources to illustrate and support your reasoning. Avoid merely summarizing the sources. Indicate clearly which sources you are drawing from, whether through direct quotation, paraphrase, or summary. You may cite the sources as Source A, Source B, etc., or by using the descriptions in parentheses.

On Classroom, I posted a note page to manage your sources. Remember we are looking for a range of issues so do not be content to park your examination at just one issue.
