This document contains a literature file on 4 books (see the example pages for the books and the table of contents for more information). I also have the book reports for each book sold separately. I got an 8.3 for this file! It prepared me well for the oral discussion about the books. Some parts were written in Dutch, because my lecturer allowed it to do so.

, Book report 1: The Lovely Bones – Alice Sebold
Assignment A
List the most important characters in the left column, usually three or four people. In the
right column, write down five characteristics. Give a short (one or two lines) example that
illustrates the characteristic.

 Suzanne ‘Susie’ Salmon  Nieuwsgierig: Suzanne was erg nieuwsgierig naar
het ondergrondse buurthuis die George Harvey had
gemaakt. Ze reageerde erg enthousiast toen Mr.
Harvey haar uitnodigde om een kijkje te nemen in
het ondergrondse buurthuis. Alhoewel ze eerst
toch twijfelde omdat het donker was buiten en het
etenstijd was, ging ze toch naar binnen.
Onschuldig: Suzanne is onschuldig, omdat ze
geen vlieg kwaad doet in het verhaal.
Zorgzaam: Ondanks dat ze niet meer op de
wereld was gaf ze nog wel veel om haar familie en
haar vrienden/vriendinnen. Ze wil dat niemand in
haar omgeving pijn lijdt.
Emotioneel: In het boek wordt verteld dat
Suzanne verdrietig is, omdat ze terug naar de
wereld wil en haar familie en vrienden weer wil
zien.
Naïef: Ze is naïef, omdat ze George Harvey
vertrouwde terwijl ze hem eigenlijk niet goed
kende. Ze ging mee met hem naar het
ondergrondse buurthuis.
 George Harvey  Manipulerend: George manipuleerde Susie door
haar over te halen om een kijkje te nemen in het
ondergrondse buurthuis voor kinderen die hij zelf
had gemaakt. Alhoewel hij heel goed wist dat ze
eigenlijk niet mee wou, omdat ze naar huis moest
gaan.
Gevoelloos: George had geen medelijden met de
familie Salmon, nadat hij Suzanne op een
walgelijke manier had verkracht en vermoord.
Chaotisch: Nadat Mr. Harvey Suzanne vermoord
had, liet hij vrij veel sporen achter. Denk hierbij
aan de muts die Susie ophad. Toen ze verkracht
werd had ze diezelfde muts ook op, later gebruikte
George de muts om haar stil te krijgen. Hij deed
namelijk de muts in de mond van Susie. Naast de
muts, liet hij ook een armbandje achter die van
Susie was. Er zaten allemaal bedeltjes op die iets
te maken hadden met haar.
Egoïstisch: Harvey dacht alleen aan zichzelf.
Toen Susie zei dat hij moest stoppen terwijl ze
verkracht werd door hem in het ondergrondse
buurthuis, bleef hij doorgaan omdat hij dat wou.
