<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Yes, the image above this is kind of dorky, but it's exactly what I want you to focus on. When we read a short story, the beginning, middle, and end are fairly obvious. That's basically summarizing the story. But a novel is different; novels tend to have lots of events. Looking for the main beginning, middle, and end is like looking <em>into the mind</em> of the author and asking the question- what did that author start with?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">In this discussion board, please try to identify the <strong>main</strong> beginning, middle, and end of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Homework Machine</span>. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Copy and paste the following into your post, then fill out what basically happens in the novel we read</span>:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">In the beginning-</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">In the middle-</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">At the end-</span></li>
</ul>
