What is the narrative point of view? What position does it put the reader in? How might this affect the story? Anything else to say?

In general, what type of tone/atmosphere is created? (doesn’t have to be connected to the narrator) How does the writer create this tone? How might it affect the reader?

Identify at least three, and write a little about what contributes to this theme (could be characters/settings/events etc)

What are the different main settings in the novel? What are these places like? What are their key features?

How are they described? What tone is set around the place?

Does the setting somehow connect to a theme? How?

What might the settings be symbolic of? Could you draw out more than one interpretation here?

Make a ‘moodboard’ of the settings in your novel

This book opens with an epigraph from Dr. Martin Luther Kings Nobel peace prize acceptance speech.

Justyce who is main character in this novel and ex boyfriend of Melo get a call, and that his ex girlfriend needs help. Justyce walks over from his friend Manny,s house and he finds Melo in a parking lot. He lifts her into the car,s backdest and then police arrives to the place and throw Justyce to the ground and handcufs him and slams him to the ground.

This first scence in this book is very dramtic and emotinally. Justyce tires to explain the misunderstanding to the cops, but the officer hits him on the face. ]]> 2022-02-20 17:28:57 UTC https://padlet.com/saadgmc1/xrdjh56asbh2u1q2/wish/2057489305 tone saadgmc1 https://padlet.com/saadgmc1/xrdjh56asbh2u1q2/wish/2057490382 The tone of dear Martin is conversational and realistic ]]> 2022-02-20 17:30:21 UTC https://padlet.com/saadgmc1/xrdjh56asbh2u1q2/wish/2057490382 privilege and entitlement saadgmc1 https://padlet.com/saadgmc1/xrdjh56asbh2u1q2/wish/2057505273 there is a very strong message in Dear Martin in that white people who are in position and have that power ought to recognize the socioeconomic factor that have contributed to their success. Justyce is one of only black several black students at his School. he is often surrounded by wealthy white teenagers who have never had to think seriously about any race.
