October 26

Homework:
1. Read through 204.
2. Metaphor Give One Get One:

  • Find a metaphor in the novel.
  • Write the sentence it is in on a note card. Include a page number.
  • Explain the context of the metaphor. What is being compared?
  • How does the metaphor fit the style of the author or the speaker of the quote? Style is the personality of the writer or the way the writer uses language, sentence structure, dialogue, etc. In this case we will also consider it the style or manner in which specific characters speak.
Today:

  • Add style to notebook- lit terms: Style is the way a writer's personality comes through in a piece. It is established through a writer's choice of language, sentence structure, figurative language, and structure of the overall piece. It really is similar to a person's fashion style.
