Sticky Note Assignment

Directions: This assignment was done in-class.  As we were reading chapter 9 aloud, you were to be writing down themes on sticky notes as you saw them come out in the book and place them where you see them.  After the reading, you were to write down the theme, where in the book you saw it, and your justification for why you think the theme is there.  To make up this assignment, review the book and as you come across a theme, write down the theme, it's location, and your justification.  You should provide me with five individual instances total.

Again, the themes are:

Savagery vs. Civilization
Individualism vs. Community
Nature of Evil (and the fear of it)
Man vs. Nature
Loss of Innocence
Dehumanizing Relationships
Rules and Order
Power
Identity
