Ronit Langer- Outside Reading Book

I chose Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier because I think that it will tie together the whole year for me. The book is about understanding a time period through the eyes of a painting, something which we have done a lot of this year. Plus, it is a post-modern book writing about the end of the Renaissance. After spending the whole year learning about the Renaissance and its effects on the world, I think it would be interesting to see how people now portray what was happening then.
