Kia ora. By now you should have finished the first reading of your novel.  We are going to continue working on the slideshow (in google classrooom) where you are recording your notes on character, and also look at theme and plot structure.  Remember this ties to this terms context where we look at the anatomy or structure of different things.  When you understand the anatomy or structure of something, it makes it easier to see how the individual parts of it work together to make the whole.  This is true for a piece of fruit, a book, a mathematical equation and for human society.  Everything has an anatomy or structure that gives all the supporting things or parts a place to exist.
