INTRODUCTION Multicultural literature is a tool that should be utilized within the classroom in order to help students see themselves and their own family structures reflected within the writings. When readers express their interactions with literature though authentic dialogue and written reflections, beliefs and ideas about their own identities are often brought out (Rosenblatt, 1978). Culturally responsive children’s literature can be an effective vehicle for getting students to connect with rich
Semester A Unit 3 Lesson 9 Introduction and Objective An author has a reason for writing fiction and nonfiction. The author writes fiction to inform the reader. What information would a science textbook give? What kind of information would a text on the first president of the United States give?

Explaining these topics will show how I accomplished creating a narrative involving a psychopath.

Krakauer, promptly at the commencement of the novel, uses an appeal to ethos in order to establish trust between himself and his readers. He demonstrates his awareness and qualifications to write about McCandless, alluding to his lengthy and detailed research “retracing the convoluted path” (2) of McCandless’ journey.
