GEN-book review thoughts

Book Review:
Your review should be oral. You must be very rehearsed and you can use notes. Please use them as a guide that you glance at rarely. I do not want you to read off your paper.

Here are some things that you might consider aside from the handout I already gave you on structuring your book review.

a.Is there one anecdote that really stands out to you? Why?Briefly re-iterate it to the class.
b.Was the story believable? Why or why not?
c.Did the story tell you some aspect of the Holocaust that you had previously not known of, or understood?What did you learn from the book?
d.Which key aspects of the Holocaust did the novel focus on?
e.If you cold change one thing about the book, what would it be?
f.Do you think other students in this course should read this book?Why or why not?
g.In this class we have been trying to see hope and some opportunity for light and humanity within the Holocaust. Did your book attempt to show this? What lines did you like the best when it did?
h.Were you satisfied with the ending?Why or why not?
