Instructions: Use the Venn diagram below to compare the novel and newspaper article. In the left circle write unique details from the novel (characters' personal feelings, relationships, fears, excitement). In the right circle write unique details from the newspaper (hard historical facts, dates, protest numbers, official statements, public actions). In the overlap, note the themes both texts share.

1. Novel — list unique narrative details (characters' feelings, relationships, inner thoughts):

2. Newspaper — list hard facts and public actions (dates, numbers, official quotes):

3. Intersection — list common themes shared by both texts (e.g., protecting the Pacific environment, national identity):

4. Write a brief 3-sentence summary explaining how the newspaper article enhances our reading of the novel's first two chapters. Be sure to mention at least one factual detail from the article and one narrative detail from the novel.
