1-Ideas that Johnny Tremain includes.First of all, the idea of being talented but also to boast about it.Johnny is too ostentatious and when he is given the opportunitty of his life time he is too proud to recognize he has been helped.So the idea could be that arrogance leads nowhere as after some time he has a terrible accident which unables him to work .Consequently,he cannot keep his fame and fortune.Second , the idea of transformation which comes after suffering.The concept developed by Jonny Tremain could be that of learning and understanding from all the misfortunes he has had to face.Being the best should not be taken from granted.As he used to be overconfident and had this air of superiority, when the going gets tough , he is left alone.I chose those ideas because they talk for themselves in the story and I think that there is a lesson to be learned from them.
2-Reading roles help understanding the book in the following ways.You as a reader become and investigator and put together information that is relevant for understandin characters´actions and attitudes.If you develop as a creative connector , you will be able to find the connection the story has to social, economic and historic aspects of the society being described by the author.Emerging as the devil´s advocate will give you the chance of criticising the story as a professional making questions and raising arguments.
3-You become an investigator looking for the reasons why Johnyy has turned into such an ostentatious person.Try to see if the story contains something about his family and the way he was brought up, for instance.A creative connector will be searching for a description of the colonial society in the context the story develops.Additionally, information about the financial situation will be useful.The devil´s advocate will ask if the story is well developed, if the order in which it is told is inspiring to continue reading if the descriptions are clear and have a point .
