Objectives � Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. � Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas. � Interpret words and phrases as they are used in a text, including determining technical, connotative, and figurative meanings, and analyze how specific word choices shape meaning or tone. � Analyze the structure of texts, including how specific sentences, paragraphs, and larger portions of the text relate to each other and the whole.

Essential Questions � How is a culture created? � How does the manipulation of language impact how people believe, think, feel, and react? � How do culture, propaganda, and the government influence how people believe, think, feel, and react? � Is it possible for thoughts or words to be illegal? � To what extent does popular culture determine what our society values? � Is it possible to protect oneself from the influence of media, government, and propaganda? Is it possible to be completely objective? � What are the basic tools used by an author to manipulate the audience? As readers, how do we identify and analyze these tools?

Parallel Structure Review �Good writers try to present a series of ideas in similar grammatical structures so the ideas will read smoothly. If one element in a series in not parallel with the others, the result may be jarring or confusing. �Parallelism involves presenting equal ideas in words, phrases, clauses, or sentences of similar types.

Parallel Structure Examples Parallel Words: The surfer looked strong, fit, and agile. Parallel Phrases: The greatest feeling I know is to ride a giant wave flawlessly and to have all my friends watch me enviously. Parallel Clauses: The surfboard that you recommended and that my brother wants is on sale. Parallel Sentences: It couldn’t be, of course. It could never, never be. �Faulty parallelism can involve words, phrases, and clauses in a series of comparisons.

Phrases �When one adjective or adverb cannot convey enough information, a phrase can contribute more detail to a sentence. �A phrase is a group of words that does NOT include a subject and verb and can NOT stand alone as a sentence. �There are several kinds of phrases, including prepositional phrases, adverbial phrase, adjectival phrase, appositive phrases, participial phrases, gerund phrases, and infinitive phrases.

Phrases �A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition and a noun or pronoun, called the object of the preposition. Example: over their heads, until dark, and after the baseball game. �An adjectival phrase is a prepositional phrase that modifies a noun or pronoun by telling what kind or which one. Ex: A picture of great beauty hung in the meeting hall, I gave the people on the trip a tour. �An adverbial phrase is a prepositional phrase that modifies a verb, an adjective, or an adverb by pointing out where, why, when, in what way, and to what extent. During the earthquake a creek disappeared , I was worried by the weather report.

Detail Review �Details are facts, observations, and incidents that are used to develop a topic and impart author’s style. �Details can be general or specific. Specific details are used to refer to fewer things in a precise manner usually creating a mental picture. �The author uses detail to focus the reader’s attention and bring the reader into the scene. �Consequently, detail shapes the reader’s attitude by focusing attention: the more specific the detail, the greater the focus on the object described. �Remember, detail can also state by understatement; the absence of details can be used to contrast the specific details in a given text.

Detail Practice “How fine it is to enter some old town, walled and turreted, just at approach of nightfall, or to come to some straggling village, with the lights streaming through the surrounding gloom; and then, after inquiring for the best entertainment that the place affords, to “take one’s ease at one’s inn!” – Hazlitt, “On Going a Journey” 1.

Writing Reminders �All essays demand careful reading of the text and planning. If you do not spend time creating an outline often your work will be underdeveloped, illogical or off topic. �As the writer you are required to fully address the prompt and support your position logically using: facts/statistics, details, quotation, needed definitions, examples, anecdotes, contrast and comparison, cause and effect, appeal to authority. �The tone must match the purpose and audience; it should always be formal and objective (avoid personal pronouns and informal diction)

Writing Reminders �When creating the introduction �In the Hook Provide the context of the essay using anecdote, summary, or quotation Include the author, genre, and title �In the Thesis: Refer specifically to the prompt Clearly state your position on the given issue Agree, disagree or qualify

Writing Reminders �The body Most essay prompts will imbed a logical way to divide the key ideas Outside of the hook you should never summarize the text! You are not telling the reader the events of the text in chronological order. At most, you are giving specific instances when thesis was proven. (If you are giving more than two-three sentences of what happened in the text, you are summarizing) �The conclusion In a brief essay the reader can remember what you’ve already said so there is no need to summarize your major points. The final remark should be of interest and appropriate to purpose. If you have no idea what to write, restate the prompt in a create way.

Imagery Review �Imagery is the verbal representation of a sensory experience. �In literature all five senses may be represented: sight(visual imagery), sound (auditory imagery), touch (tactile imagery), taste (gustatory imagery), and smell (olfactory imagery). �Visual imagery is the most common, but good writers experiment with a variety of images and even purposefully intermingle the sense (giving smells a color, for example)

Imagery Review Continued �Imagery depends on both diction and detail: an image’s success in producing a sensory experience results from the specificity of the author’s diction and choice of detail. �Imagery contributes to the author’s style by evoking vivid experience, conveying specific emotion, and suggesting a particular idea. �Remember imagery itself is not figurative, but may be used to impart figurative or symbolic meaning. For example a vividly described river can be symbolic for life’s journey.

Imagery Practice “The many men, so beautiful!/ And they all dead did lie: And a thousand slimy things/ Lived on; and so did I. Within the shadow of the ship/ I watched their rich attire: / Blue, glossy green, and velvet black, / They coiled and swam; and every track/ Was a flash of golden fire. ” – Coleridge, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” 1. These stanzas from “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” show the Mariner’s changing attitude toward the creatures of the sea. What is the Mariner’s attitude in the first stanza? What image reveals this attitude? 2. What is the Mariner’s attitude in the second stanza? Analyze the imagery that reveals this change.

Plot Reminders � Structure- how the text is organized and how it progresses. Events in the plot can be presented in a variety of orders: � A chronological arrangement begins with what happens first, then second, and so on until that last incident is related. � Some stories begin at the end and then lead up to why or how the events worked out as they did. � Some stories jump between the past and present. These stories employee flashback, a device that informs the reader about events that happened before the opening scene of the work. � And still others begin in the middle of things. This is called in medias res.

Basic Plot Structure in Fiction �Exposition- the beginning of a fictional text that is an introduction to characters, setting, and situations. �Conflict- develops the antagonist and creates interest. �Rising Action- adds complications to the conflict and leads to the �Climax- the point of highest emotional involvement �Falling Action- presents the results of the climax �Resolution- gives the final outcome.

Oppositions/Juxtaposition � Opposition occurs when any pair of elements contrast sharply. Another way to think about opposition is tensionthink of two opposing elements as if they are magnetized poles attracting and repelling each other. � A specific form of Opposition is called Juxtaposition. � Juxtaposition is a literary technique in which two or more ideas, places, characters and their actions are placed side by side in a narrative or a poem for the purpose of developing contrasts or (unlike opposition) comparison. � Opposition may be as blatant as “night” and “day” or it may be less obvious: a character who is naïve and a character who is sophisticated. Opposition may be between an author’s style and his subject- for example a formal, elevated style that is heavy on analysis in a story about a hog farmer.

Oppositions � Good writers often work with “quiet oppositions”- if you aren’t paying attention you’ll feel what’s going on without realizing where it is coming from. � Many literary oppositions come from within a character. Particularly if that character is dynamic (changes during the course of a text) and round (has a variety of characteristics). For example the character who wants a job that his personality not cut out for. � Another important opposition is tone. Some writers will write about the silliest thing possible in a serious way (satire-A Modest Proposal) � Another important opposition occurs through the setting, particularly time. Authors will often let the past stand in opposition to the present. The story of a once proud family that has fallen on hard times would be an example.

Characterization Review �Characterization=methods by which a writer creates people in a story so that they seem to actually exist. �Authors have 2 major methods of presenting characters Showing=indirect characterization Telling=direct characterization

Character Roles �Flat characters- two dimensional, described without details necessary to view the characters as individuals �Round characters- three dimensional, complex, and as life like as possible. �Stock characters- are used frequently in certain forms such as Prince Charming in fairy tales �Type characters- represent the characteristics of a particular class or group of people but still are unpredictable and individualized �Stereotype- are predictable, repeated without variation from one story to the next; they lack originality.

Characters � Hero(ine)/Protagonist- the leading male or female character, who generally exhibits superior qualities or who simply is the main character � Antagonist- a character who is often characterized as evil and in opposition to the protagonist � Antihero/tragic hero- a protagonist who is more ordinary than a traditional hero or one who is somewhat villainous. A tragic hero has a flaw in his character that causes hi. Foil- a contrasting character, who through that very contrast causes the reader to see more clearly the personality of another character � Climate- the prevailing attitude of a group of people (such as a family or community or nation). � Motivation-reason for how the character behaves and what they say � Confidant- a friend who draw out the person into talking about private matters � Archetypal Character-is a recurring character type, one that appears in the literature of different times and places. The "rebellious young man, "

Methods of Characterization �Characters thoughts- (through such devices as interior monologue and stream of consciousness) can be a rich source for insight into motivation and character; be alert for elements of self delusion. �Words of others- much can be learned about a character by “listening in” what other characters have to say about him �Use of setting- the setting to varying degrees can be a factor in determining character as the character is influenced by his environment

Things to Consider �Character development- is when character traits are revealed or changes within the narrative. The development must be credible: Did the character have sufficient motivation to change? Was there sufficient times for the character change to be realistic and probable? Has the reader been give adequate information about the character to make the change seem believable? �Remember-Individual traits are not as important as the total character of the person.

How to Analyze Character � To understand character students must recognize not only a character’s particular traits but also how those traits interact to form an overall impression of the character. STEP 1: 1. Analyze the first impression given to the reader in the exposition but know that it may need to be changed or modified. 2. As readers we make inferences based on our prior knowledge however we must test it against the information in the text. 3. We must notice the kinds of people who are often unfamiliar or invisible to us in our day to day lives 4. The context of the text provides the rules by which the character must be governed. By piecing together bits of information the reader is able to interpret a character.

DO NOT Simply focus on surface feature of characters rather than the personality the writer has created. 2. Simply focus on the current emotional state of the character (happy she won the race) instead focus on their basic traits (happy person) 1.
