We Have Always Lived in the Castle: A Cento

This poem was created as part of a multimodal project for an American Literature class using the following prompt: As a group, you will create a 100-line Cento poem based primarily on the book you chose. Individually, you should highlight and/or copy sentences and phrases that “speak” to you, that you find beautiful or intriguing, or that capture the elements of tone, style, message, mood and theme of your book. After you have each selected your 25-50 lines, you should add them to a group authored Google Doc. Then you can sort through the lines and decide which ones you want to use for the final cento, and how you want to arrange them.
