English 10

I gave some time to silent read Chapter 16 in The Chrysalids. We'll be finishing the novel next week:)

After that, we finished watching The Village and I assigned a paragraph to complete. You must compare three themes from The Village and The Chrysalids. Here is a copy of the assignment:

Choose THREE of the following themes to compare :

• Fear of the Unknown
• Xenophobia
• Rigid Beliefs
• Enforcement of tradition
• Control of knowledge
• Fear-Mongering
• Conformity
• Isolation

Here is the structure for the paragraph:
1) Topic Sentence: (Include titles/authors, and purpose of your paragraph)
Ex: John Wyndham’s novel The Chrysalids and the movie The Village  have similar themes that can be compared.

2)Topic sentence: Mention Theme 1
a) How does The Chrysalids address this theme?
