The Weight of Silence

5th Hour
This site is dedicated to the further development of the literature cannon. Your books are your research. This site is our round-table. Our conversations are the purpose. The Articles below are examples of the articles that will be expected of your book's site. If I have embeded a movie or a picture (or a blabber), you by no means have to, but your creativity and internet savvy are most definitely encouraged. Keep all material as appropriate as you would for any class project though. If you need help with HTML - I have included a link on the left column that could be a great help! I look forward to your book's pages. Have FUN with this!

Theme I think that the theme of this book was discovery and growing. Calli discovered her voice, Toni discovered why Calli lost her voice and who caused her to, Ben grew by learning to take care of his mother and sister, Louis discovered who he really wanted to spend his life with, and we as an audience discovered all of the secrets hiding among the characters in this novel.
A quote from the book that i believe shows discovery is between Calli and her counselor at the end of the novel, when Calli has began to talk again, and is looking at pictures that Mr. Wilson has had her draw.
Calli: "This is the picture. This is what you were showing me in my dream. My voice."
Mr. Wilson: "Of course it was, Calli. Of course it was. You had it with you the entire time."
