Alex FlinnA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
How does Nick’s character evolve and change in the novel? What evidence supports Nick’s character growth and transformation? Consider these points as you reflect on the text to answer the question.
Teaching Suggestion: Students may benefit from using a Venn diagram graphic organizer to describe Nick’s growth. Consider breaking the questions into categories describing people, circumstances, and activities Nick does or experiences to find healing. A digital copy of a three-circle Venn diagram can be found here. Students can analyze Nick’s growth in small groups or individually before discussing it in a larger group setting.
Differentiation Suggestion: Because these questions ask for evidence gathered from throughout the entire novel, English learners, students with dyslexia and other reading differences, and students with attentional and executive function differences may find it challenging to locate evidence quickly and accurately.
