Social and political changes may have altered the context for today's readers. However, the universal themes of friendship, societal expectations, and identity continue to resonate as a whole, and have remained unchanged. ]]> 2024-02-19 21:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/francescabrummel/1l0191rid5jt7qel/wish/2888551408 Incorporating into a Classroom: francescabrummel https://padlet.com/francescabrummel/1l0191rid5jt7qel/wish/2888556557 Social Issues Exploration: Exploring current social issues like inequality, prejudice, or even the path of young adolescents struggling to find their identity, and connect them to the themes of the book.
