Today in class we are reading the first chapter of John Steinbeck’s The Pearl, and discussing the three major themes:
1. Music
2. Greed and Corruption
3. Colonialism and Oppression
Students in Pre-AP need to read Chapter 2 for homework and fill out the theme quote graphic organizer:
The Pearl Chapter 1 Thematic Analysis
We did a copy of this for Chapter 1 in class today.
As promised, here are copies of the first and second chapter, in case you have not yet had a chance to check out a book:
