ESl 5 Students,
In your ELA Regents exam next year, you are required to write an essay in which you discuss two works of literature you have read.
You need to interpret the books from a particular perspective of a statement that is provided as a Critical Lens. The critical lens is usually an insigtful or thoughtful quote.
Your interpretation of the quote and response to it become the thesis statement for your essay.

Read this quote and answer the 2 questions below:
Edward Gibbon
- What do your think this quote means?
- How does this quote relate to the book that you read about the Holocaust?
