Today:
We finished work on your character sketches.
We looked at specific reference points for the following symbols in small groups. Today. we examined: The Conch, Rocks, The Island, Darkness, the mountain, water. In a small group, I gave you the pg number for the reference and asked you to explain how the symbol is used in the novel.
We looked at the song by U2 Shadows and Tall Trees. We discussed the loss of innocence and how the imaery of the song ties into novel. Have you ever seen a literary allusion in a song and then read the book to discover the importance? You should try it.
We rocked out to early U2.
We took a quiz on ch 6-7.
HW: Please read ch 8 +9 tonight. Please look for the things that we have been discussing: Symbolism, Themes, conflict (external and internal) and light and darkness.
Please write three specific questions that you have for class discussion Thursday.
