Slaughterhouse 5:
Time travel is a propionate part of the novel. Putting the science of time travel aside, how does this mix-up of chronology affect the story. Why is the proper order so important? Why must things be in order?
Prewrite
people assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, when it's actually this big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff.
Kafka on the Shore:
Explain how the author develops a character through the use of relationships and encounters with others.
Thoughts (cuz that last one was just a thought)
Indirect + direct characterization. The reader can understand relations and main characters this way. This helps make a character more 3 dimensional, not just a cardboard cutout from a book.
Life of Pi:
Write an essay about a novel (Life of Pi) that reveals a sense of self identity through a momentous plot of hardships and obstacles.  Identify the self awareness, and explain its significance to the work as a whole.
Thoughts
Pi's family is wiped out and he is alone on a boat with a tiger. He is alert, bold, cunning and smart about how he will try and survive. Also, his experiences in his father's zoo means he is already accustomed to the animals' ways which makes it easier for him to adjust.
