9.) In approximately one page (double spaced), write your personal response to the novel. Examine the impact it had on you. Go beyond simply stating whether or not you liked the novel

The novel "The Stone Angel" had an impact on my immediate thoughts. Hagar never did anything to make her self happy. It seemed like she always did things, to make others unhappy. Such as marrying Bram to make her father upset and just to get away from him. That did not work out very well for Hagar, seeing as she left him without a thought afterwords.
