Bean Trees test Monday

Hand in 3/4 page on the following prompt:
In what ways is Sister Husband (Thelma) similar to Mattie in The Bean Trees?
Use the notes that you took (characterization charts) or the book to find two examples to discuss. Two examples from the book and two examples from the movie.

Write 3/4 page  on the following prompt:
What is your favorite part of the novel The Bean Trees? What do you like about it? Do not use more than two sentences of summary of the plot. Most of what you write should be the explanation of why you like it (that is, why you find it interesting, touching, well-written, etc.)

Remember, when you write a paragraph, support your assertions with examples. The best way to do this is to write a topic sentence stating your idea, then a sentence with a quoted example (and page #), then a sentence explaining why you like this part. A strong paragraph will have at least one other sentence explaininig that point you're making, preferably begun with a transitional phrase.
