October 28-pop culture assignment

Like we did yesterday, you will pick a book or a song and answer some questions:

Your assignment is to examine the pop culture references in “Perks” and explain why they are included.  You may pick any book or song that he references.

Choose 5 references.  For each reference, answer each of these parts.

1.  Where it’s referenced in the book.  Write the page number and describe the situation surrounding why it is included in the book.

          (1 points each)

2.  Explain why this particular reference is appropriate to the book.  
How is the message in this reference similar to the message in Perks?  
*Use specific examples from both the book and from the pop culture reference to support your opinion*. (5 points each)

To make things easier, go to pages 61-62. There are a list of a bunch of songs to look at.
