Quick Write: Remember independent reading? Interpret the main character in your novel using the framework of mindset. Does the character have a fixed or a growth mindset? Explain why.
In If I Stay the main character is Mia Hall, at the beginning of the book she has a growth mindset but throughout the story is hard to tell whether she changed her mindset or if it was the same because she falls into a coma but her soul was outside of her body.
Choose one of the quotes below, interpret it, say whether you agree or disagree and connect it to at least one book you have read.
"You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it." is a quote written by Margaret Thatcher.
This means to me that in life you might have to face problems and battles more than one time to come out victorious. One book I read a while ago can connect to this quote is called the outsiders by S. E. Hinton in the novel the protagonist named Ponyboy goes through a whole bunch of battles and hard times even though hem and his friends were a lower class they didn't stop fighting and never gave up causing at the end of the novel that the protagonist Ponyboy comes out victorious by making the decision to share his story and begins writing a term paper for his English class, which turned out to be the novel itself.

I love that book too and I forgot the significance of the ending. Thank you for reminding me. Would like to see a little more development of your idea with specific and relevant textual evidence. You didn't do Step 1: answering one of the critical questions.
