For Monday, please complete the first side of the "Moreau as God" activity. This entails thinking of two ways in which Moreau acts as a God and/or is perceived as a God in the book. Then, categorize the evidence you have found to support these ideas under the appropriate quality.


If you do not have this activity with you, please find two reasons why it is true that some think Moreau acts as a God and/or is perceived as a God in the book. Then, find three pieces of evidence from the text to support each reason.
