1. Identify and explain at least one socioeconomic theme present in the book. Find supporting passages that illustrate the theme is prevalent in the book, and incorporate those passages into your paragraph response. Does the socioeconomic theme portrayed in the book reflect how you see it in your life? For example, consider if the author's portrayal of the lower class' daily living or work struggles mirror your experience or the experience of others in your life, or conduct exploratory research to see if representations of the lower class' daily or work struggles are portrayed differently. Can you find a news report, article, etc. that provides an alternative representation of the lower class' daily living or employment struggles - maybe a positive, hopeful, and uplifting story? See what you can find!
