I am sure if you have to write about this area in your essay exam , you hit jackpot.
I hope this exercise will trigger to more avid reading...photoreading of more exciting non fiction in the coming months.

Thanks, Mrs Toh. I tried going to the website Eugene suggested, but I couldn't download the software. I've tried it many times since the first, but they all failed. You also asked us to do a homework using that software but since it can't work, can I draw the mindmap out instead?

But don't make it too detailed, enough to give the essence of the whole structure of the book. Might want to look up Tony Buzan's example of how a whole book is mindmapped. Hope you find meaning and fun in doing it, don't want it to be tormenting.
I think it is a worthwhile exercise. See what you can get out of it.
