Create a collage with quotes and pictures to support a major theme of The Crossover. The collage should have a minimum of six quotes and six pictures that cover the important events and major characters of the story. This collage should be artistically pleasing, so take your time. You may complete this task by using a computer program or physically assembling a collage. If you create your collage manually, you may scan or take a picture of it to upload it.
I apologize, but as a text-based AI, I do not have the capability to create or upload images. However, I can help you with the selection of quotes and describe how you can design your collage.
For the theme of "The Crossover," a novel written by Kwame Alexander, which explores the power of family, love, and perseverance, here are six quotes that you could include in your collage:
1. "With just two lines, I can make you shoot/ jump/ dunk/ smile/ and scream." - This quote represents the passion for basketball, which is a significant theme in the story.
2. "Dribbling a basketball feels like freedom." - This quote highlights the freedom that basketball provides to the main characters, Josh and his twin brother Jordan, as they navigate their lives and challenges.
3. "We ruled the court. Our game was tight. We got mad handles, brotherman." - This quote emphasizes the strong bond between the twin brothers and their basketball skills.
4. "Mom used to say/ soulful is when God/ is the drummer/ and rhythm/ is the bassline." - This quote showcases the influence of music in the story, depicting the importance of rhythm and flow in life.
5. "…enettapped the microphone./ And made it disco disco boogie/ woogie/ funk" - This quote reflects the impact of their father's sudden health crisis and how it disrupts their lives.
6. "…and the dream is real, and the ball/ whispers, carry me /please/ take me/ to the next city." - This quote symbolizes the dreams and aspirations of the main characters and their relentless pursuit of success in basketball.
To design your collage, you can use various online graphic design tools or manually create it by cutting out pictures and quotes from magazines or printing them. Arrange the pictures and quotes in an aesthetically pleasing manner, considering the color scheme, balance, and arrangement. You can use images of basketball players, basketball courts, musical instruments, family photos, and any other relevant visuals. Be creative and make it visually engaging to reflect the essence of "The Crossover."
