Chapter 4- A graphic

 A graphic includes:

•A picture in the middle which is a symbol for the chapter.  It can be an important object mentioned in the chapter- like the Minotaur.

•At least 3 colors used to color the object.  Each color has to represent something, and you must write why you chose that color. 

•On each corner of the page, pick a quote from the chapter and copy it.  After each quote, explain what it means and why you picked it.

•Put the title of the chapter and your name at the top.
