The Alchemist and Vocabulary and Connotation... a study in diction
For this reflection, you should choose the FIVE words from the first part of the book that you feel represent its key ideas that the book is discussing/presenting, so far.

For each word:
A.) The quoted sentence where the word can be found and MLA citation showing the page number
where it can be found
B.) A dictionary definition for the word (denotation)
C.) The connotative meaning of the word (look to figurative meaning)
D.) An explanation of why the word is important in this portion of the novel.

After you have completed this language study, please write a short reflective paragraph that explains what you learned about the book, language, writing from doing this exercise.

Upload to Google Classroom by class on Wednesday, August 30th.

Be up to page 87 for Wednesday.
