G-Band: Volume Two (Chapters 8 & 9) -Volume Three (Chapters 1-3)

** Possible questions to consider: What makes us "monsters"? Does the creature deserve a companion? Is the creature's anger justified? What about his murders? 

Choose a line/passage, quote it, and then either ask a question and thoroughly answer your own question OR discuss why you chose that particular quotation, explaining why it stood out to you. 

Look carefully at language/devices and try to connect your observations to a big idea from the novel (justice, what it means to be human, how people become "monsters," impact of nature, society's notion of normal, loneliness/abandonment, etc) to deepen your analysis. 


Do not repeat a classmate's quotation. If that line intrigues you, just respond to their comment and choose your own, new passage to comment on. YOU MUST RESPOND TO A CLASSMATE.
