To determine the ideas that would be most worthy to share in a literary discussion about Johnny Tremain, you can follow these steps:
1. Recall your reading character role: Consider the specific role you had during the reading of Johnny Tremain. This could be the protagonist (Johnny Tremain), a supporting character, or even the antagonist. Think about the perspective and experiences of that character.
2. Analyze the text: Revisit the novel and identify key themes, conflicts, and character developments. Look for moments that are significant to your reading character role and their impact on the overall story.
3. Consider the character's journey: Reflect on how the role you selected contributed to your understanding of the text. Did it provide a unique perspective on the events, themes, or messages conveyed in the story? How did it help you gain insights into the protagonist's motivations, struggles, or growth?
4. Identify ideas worthy of discussion: Based on your analysis, choose the ideas and insights that stand out to you as being significant and thought-provoking. These could be any themes, character traits, conflicts, or historical elements that resonate with you or offer a deeper understanding of the novel.
5. Justify your choices with evidence from the novel: To support your ideas, provide at least two pieces of evidence from the novel that align with your reading character role. These could be specific quotes, scenes, or instances that demonstrate the relevance or impact of the ideas you want to discuss.
For example, if you played the role of Rab Silsbee, Johnny's close friend, you could focus on the themes of loyalty and sacrifice. You might discuss how Rab's unwavering loyalty to the cause of American independence, despite personal costs, inspires Johnny and contributes to his growth as a character. You could support this idea with evidence such as the scene where Rab is injured while delivering messages on horseback, or when Rab volunteers for dangerous missions even though he could avoid them.
By considering your reading character role and the work you completed, including examining key themes and character developments, you can uncover ideas worthy of discussion and support them with evidence from the novel. This approach allows for a deeper engagement with the text and provides a unique perspective for literary analysis.
