Contemporary Novels mind maps

What Contemporary Novels mind maps cover

These user-made maps organize ideas around individual novels. The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri brings together characters and symbols, while The Cone Gatherers: Key Scenes focuses on events in the novel. Other maps explore themes, quotations or background.

Start with the map on the novel you are studying. For example, Elements of "Life of Pi" outlines the main conflict, while Never Let Me Go - Characters introduces people in the story. Each gives you a way into a different kind of analysis.

Study with a map

Follow the branches and explain how each idea connects to the novel. Then cover the map and see which connections you can recall. Return to any branch you missed and compare it with your reading.

When you want to check recall in a different way, switch to a quiz or flashcards on the unit page. Pick a map and trace its connections at your own pace.
