What do you think would have happened if Persephone had never gone to the Underworld to live? 3. In your opinion, was Demeter an overprotective parent? 4. Describe a time when your parents or the parents of one of your friends was overprotective. Why did the parents act this way? Were their actions justified? 5. In this myth, the author compares the real seasons to "the seasons of the heart." Persephone stayed underground for one third of her life and above ground for two thirds. Some people give these "seasons" another interpretation stating that we (humans) spend about one third of our lifetimes dealing with problems ( which make us sad, mad, frustrated, anxious, and so forth) and two thirds of our lives feeling happy or content. Does this sound like an accurate estimation of the happiness/ sadness ratio in most people's lives? Tell me what you think. 6. Other people have interpreted this division to represent the amount of time we spend sleeping. In other words, human beings spend about two thirds of their lives awake ( above ground) and one third asleep ( below ground :). Do you think this analogy works? In other words, are there any similarities between the dream world and the underworld? THINK. What are they?

 * 1) Before you begin writing, make a few notes about the points you want to get across.
 * 2) While you're writing, try thinking of your reader as a friend to whom you're telling a story.
 * 3) Try to mention the name of the author and the book title in the first paragraph — there's nothing more frustrating than reading a review of a great book but not knowing who wrote it and what the title is!
 * 4) If possible, use one paragraph for each point you want to make about the book. It's a good way to emphasize the importance of the point. You might want to list the main points in your notes before you begin.
 * 5) Try to get the main theme of the book across in the beginning of your review. Your reader should know right away what he or she is getting into should they choose to read the book!
 * 6) Think about whether the book is part of a genre. Does the book fit into a type like mystery, adventure, or romance? What aspects of the genre does it use?
 * 7) What do you like or dislike about the book's writing style? Is it funny? Does it give you a sense of the place it's set? What is the author's/narrator's "voice" like?
 * 8) Try using a few short quotes from the book to illustrate your points. This is not absolutely necessary, but it's a good way to give your reader a sense of the author's writing style.
 * 9) Make sure your review explains how you feel about the book and why, not just what the book is about. A good review should express the reviewer's opinion and persuade the reader to share it, to read the book, or to avoid reading it.
 * 10) Do research about the author and incorporate what you learn into the review. Biographical information can help you formulate your opinion about the book, and gives your review a "depth." Remember, a book doesn't come directly from a printing press, it's a product of an author's mind, and therefore it may be helpful to know something about the author and how she or he came to write the book. For instance, a little research will reveal the following about author Harper Lee:
 * // To Kill a Mockingbird //, which won the Pulitzer Prize, is the only book she's ever published.
 * The town she called Maycomb is really Monroeville, Alabama. Many of the residents thought the author had betrayed them by writing the book.
 * Some people think she based the character Dill on Truman Capote, a famous writer who was her childhood friend.
