    Next, tell one of your character's goals, or what the character wants to do in this section.
    Then, find one of the character's problems in the section and the solution or possible solution to this problem.
    Finally, draw/illustrate your character.

Connector
Your job is to connect the book your group is reading to the outside world.  This means asking yourself these questions and writing a paragraph about one or more of them:
        Does this part of the story remind you of any other story or book you have read or heard?  Explain.
        Does this part of the story remind you of anything that has happened to you, a friend, or a family member?  Explain.
        Does this part of the story remind you of a movie or television show you have seen?  Explain.
In your paragraph, be sure to include who or what your connection is about, where and when it happened, what happened, and how it connects or deals with the part of the novel you were reading.
