ENG2P: This class is going to start their second class novel, another novel by William Bell entitled "Stones". The class will be keeping track of the novel in two different ways - Firstly with a chart that records Plot, character, setting and Literary Devices and Secondly, by answering questions on the plot. The novel is about a high school boy and his relationships with his parents, a new girl and his community and his hunt for the truth behind a mystery. The novel is suspenseful and the class will examine how an author is able to raise a readers suspense when writing.
