Impulse by Ellen Hopkins

Impulse by Ellen Hopkins

Use the following questions to make notes on the first part of the novel. I will be collecting these notes on Wednesday morning, January 21, 2009. You are making the notes to help prepare for a class conversation about Impulse.

I am LOVING this novel so far, what about you?

The author, Ellen Hopkins, has a website where she talks about her books and posts new poems that she’s written.

  1. Talk about the way this book is written. Does it help or hinder your understanding of the story? Explain yourself with evidence from the novel.
  2. Talk about the characters. Are they believable? Why or why not? Again, explain yourself with evidence from the novel.
  3. Choose 3 separate quotes from the beginning of the novel. Copy them down, write a response, and be prepared to discuss them.
  4. Why do you think this is called a novel?
