Our next book was a nonfiction text called The Power of Red. we worked on looking past all the interesting details to find the author's larger message. We then worked (for a pretty long time!) on writing in response to a prompt that asks about a common idea in two texts: What do the two authors say about how something becomes a status symbol? We looked at the ideas in this book, and a previous one about the history of shoes. We had to pull out ideas from each book, synthesize them into a coherent thesis, and write an organized response.
