Farewell to Manzanar...no really...

I am just sitting here tonight, Sunday night, right before Thanksgiving week, thinking of ways that I can finish teaching my novel in two weeks.  Yes, that's right, two weeks left of teaching time in the semester and that's not counting the two days I have to give TLI tests.  We are reading Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston, which is a book about a young Japanese girl struggling to find herself while living in an internment camp in California during World War II.  This novel deals with racism, alcoholism, family abuse, historical facts, a little geology, and overall, many literary qualities that come in handy when teaching English; such as, juxtaposition, simile, metaphor, polysyndeton, symbolism, etc.  My problem is that we've only made it to chapter ten, and the novel has twenty-two chapters.  I was thinking that I could read excerpts from the work that dealt with the most important factors of the novel, just to teach what I really want them to know.  That way, I'm covering everything I need to cover for the students.  I'll be glad when I can really say...farewell to Farewell to Manzanar.
