Both the books I have chosen focus on several important issues that many of my students are dealing with today. One's identity, home life, poverty, education, race, tradition and customs, are some of the major themes throughout these novels. By reading them and supplementing them with current articles, videos and class discussions, my students will acquire an appreciation for other's cultural life styles and the experiences that they encounter. They will be able to relate to the age group presented in the novels and the adversities facing these characters. Also, cultural diversity and tolerance are among the many issues that will be identified and explored.
