Book Club Meeting 1: Analyzer
Tasks:
1. My first task for this book club meeting was to create a title for the section my peers and I accorded to read.
I decided to name the section “A Haunting Past”. I chose this name because in this section of the book, the story is mainly focused on the past.

October, 19, 1985: * After an argument, Laurie Juspeczyk leaves Dr. Manhattan. * Dr. Manhattan gives a televised interview on the ABC network. Doug Roth, a reporter from Nova Express, accuses Osterman of causing cancer in his loved ones.

October, 20, 1985: * Dr Manhattan Leaves Earth * Russians invade Afghanistan.
October, 21, 1985: * Rorschach is lured to Jacobi's apartment, where he is cornered by the police and arrested. 3. Most important events:
The comedian’s funeral
Dr Manhattan leaves earth
Russians invade Afghanistan

4. My fourth task was to pick 3 quotations, one focused on the element of character, one on the element of theme and one on the element of conflict; all from my three most important events.
