In the beginning of the memoir, where does Ishmael fall under Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs? Why? Where does he fall in chapter 8-10? What does this change tell us about Ishmael?

New assignment! 4 sheets of paper Find one quote for each of the 8 themes

from chapter 1-10. (please have a range!) Be sure to find quotes that are an example of

the theme and are meaningful. Example: "Whenever I get a chance to

observe the moon now, I still see those same images I saw when I was six, and it pleases me to know that that part of my childhood is still embedded in me" - Loss of innocence/Memory

These will be useful later so choose wisely!
