Using a book you are currently reading (or have just finished), describe the protagonist's ordinary world. The ordinary world is the place where he or she feels the most comfortable and safe, so your task is to identify your protagonist and then describe the key elements in your protagonist's ordinary world, including people and objects.
Once you have described the protagonist's ordinary world, select an appropriate image to help explain the character's feelings for the people and objects in their ordinary world, and a direct quotation from the book to help your classmates see how the protagonist reacts to his or her ordinary world.
Consider how you might answer the following prompts before you select or provide an explanation for the image and quotation:
What pressures exist for the character in his/her ordinary world?
Who creates conflict or peace here?
Which elements create the most or least comfort?
Why might the character feel reluctant (or excited) to leave this world behind? etc.....
