Please fill out the "Contasts and Contradictions" Chart in your ELA Journal. It asks for two pieces of evidence from Chapter 10 of contrasts and contradictions and why they might be important points in the story. There are three, but one of them is provided for you. Please make sure to read everything, though, as there is more information on the page than there is in the chart. Use it all to write your analysis.
