U4 Lesson 5Line of Reasoning-the 3-Pronged Point.- Prong 1: Evidence: Should be a short quote with a little context.- Prong 2: Analysis: What does this quote mean? How do you interpret this as important, or what effect it has? Why is it important? Or what ideas do it illustrate?-Prong 3: How and why does the analysis of the evidence make your thesis argument/sub claim true and correctFrankenstein Example.Line of Reasoning-the 3-Pronged PointProng 1- Justine is to be “obliterated in an ignominious grave, and [Victor] the cause” because he can’t bring himself to expose his secret under the guise of being a madman. Prong 2- He recognizes his guilt in her sentencing but can’t cope with the risk of being condemned as crazy himself and tries to justify and endear sympathy by claiming how tortuous it was himself.Prong 3: If he had been forthcoming about the Monsters’ existence from the beginning and during the entirety of the trial process, then it is possible that Justine would have been acquitted of the crime. His secrecy about the monster’s existence ensures her dreadful demise.“HLWE” 3 Pronged Points.Statement:Prong 1- The man continuously emphasizes that “it’s a simple operation” without having a comprehensive understanding of what abortion is about, or willfully veil the truth of abortion.Prong 2- He tries to manipulate the girl by his retreat to advance technique. However, he cannot persuade the girl with his lack of explanation to justify the pros of abortion. Prong 3- With the man’s vague explanation and the forceful tone creates detachment and awkward tension between the couple since the man refuses to accept the girl’s idea and fails to convey his thoughts in a persuasive manner. Homework.-Read the Lahiri story “Interpreter of Maladies”U4 Lesson 6Characters in “IOM”.Make a list of every character in Lahiri’s “Interpreter of Maladies”.1.Mr. Kapasi: Unconventional, self-depreciating, hesitated 2.Tina: self-centered (attention seeking)3.
4.Mr. Das: Intellectual yet superficial (cannot extend his knowledge beyond, disconnected from his surroundings.5.Ronny: Disobedience6.Bobby Das: Disrespectful7.Mr. Das’s friend: 8.Mrs. Kapasi: Disconnected, careless, cold, loveless??9.Mrs. Das: selfish, self-absorbed, careless, practical, Describe Characters.Example: 1234567Contrasting Characters- “HLWE”.Once you have understood individual characters, you can ask yourself how they contrast eachother and for what purpose.- In “Hills Like White Elephants” the two main characters are contrasted through their knowledge and experience. The man is presented as being at least bilingual, having knowledge of the operation and referred to as an adult. Comparatively the girl doesn’t know Spanish, may have less knowledge about the operation and is referred to as the girl rather than the women, implying possible naivety and youth.Contrast Mr. Das and Mr. Kapasi.Using the descriptions, explain how Mr. Das and Mr. Kapasi are contrasting characters. Then explain the purpose or function of this contrast in the story.- Contrast: Mr. Das and Mr. Kapasi are contrasted through their awareness of their broken relationships. Mr. Das is ignorant of his wife’s lack of love toward him, while Mr. Kapasi is fully aware that his marriage is broken, with no romantic love. - Function: The contrast between them illustrates the duality of passion for love and interest. It also shows how interest in a career and love can affect and break a romantic relationship. We’ll take the answers up together.Contrast in the picture: -Poverty vs. urbanization and prosperity. Homework.-Reread the Lahiri story “Interpreter of Maladies”
U4 Lesson 7What is being Contrasted in this picture?-Function of Contrasts.Contrast- The purpose…Recall…What elements could be contrasted in “IOM”?.Make a list of all the elements that could possibly contrasted in the story (obviously characters as we investigated that specific contrast yesterday).--Contrast Elements in “IOM”.Choose 2 specific elements (or 2 parts of 1 element) to contrast from “Interpreter of Maladies”. 1-2-Contrast-Love and marriages-Career Dreams-Affection and coldness-Caring vs. carelessnessThen explain the function of the contrast.- The contrast between Mr. Das’s and Mr. Kapasi’s awareness of their status of relationship provides a You will share answers with a classmate U4 Lesson 8Narrative Vs. Character Perspective.- We have looked at character’s complex perspectives in previous stories (like Nick’s disdain for the wealthy elite of NYC and simultaneous sympathy for Gatsby). - Now we will look at the narrator’s/speaker’s perspective (This is not the POV, but the POV will influence the narrator’s perspective).- The narrator of the poetry is called the “speaker”How Narrative Perspective is Revealed.Narrative perspective is revealed through howand whatis being said about characters’ actions, thoughts, reactions and appearances.
- Narrator perspective is revealed through how and what is being said about character’s STEAL.- How are character’s actions described? Is it purely objective, or is there opinion in the description.- What is highlighted or emphasized about a character / event?- How could this emphasis change the reader’s understanding of a character / events- How does the Narrative POV affect the narrator’s perspective. Narrative Perspective in “IOM”.Ex.- - In “IOM”, Mr. Das is described as responding “with an air of sudden confidence” (Lahiri 14) to Mr. Kapasi’s inquiry. By describing the response as having “an air of …confidence” it implies that the narrator perceives the confidence to be unearned and a little snobbish.This could establish a narrative bias against Mr. Das, or a bias favoring Mr. Kapasi, and by extension the people and places they represent.Note: Investigate “IOM” for Narrative Perspective.Find 2 pieces of evidence (short textual details, NOT 1-3 sentence chunks) that support a specific Narrative Perspective in “Interpreter of Maladies”.Evidence 1- “Mr. Kapasi hears… declaration” (Lahiri 2)Evidence 2- “But so romantic, Mrs. Das said dreamily, breaking her extended silence”Narrative perspective-- The narrator is pro Mr. Kapasi and slightly against the Das by expressing the ignorance of the Das. Also, the narrator expresses Mr. Kapasi’s delusional love towards Mrs. Das by describing Mrs. Das is “[saying] dreamily”.Reflection.How may this narrative perspective bias your understanding and sympathies within the story?- Homework.-Read Kate Chopin’s short story “Desiree’s Baby” for Friday’s class. -Bring coloring utensils for Monday’s class (Ho) or next Friday’s class (Ping). (Diversified Assessment)-Make sure you have your copy of Oedipus Rexand start reading the prologue and first Scenefor next Friday.
U4 Lesson 9U3 Test Feedback.-Review-How Narrative Perspective is Revealed.-Narrative perspective is revealed through howand whatis being said about character’s actions, thoughts, reactions and appearances.-How are character’s actions described? Is it purely objective, or is there opinion in the description?-What is highlighted or emphasized about a character / event?-How could this emphasis change the reader’s understanding of a character/events?-How does the Narrative POV affect the narrator’s perspective?The Narrator of “Desiree’s Baby”.Write down 3 quotes from Chopin’s story that reveal the narrative perspective (identifying what the narrator’s perspective is).- POV: 3rdperson omniscient, Narrator’s perspective: Against Armand and sympathetic towards Quote 1: “And the very spirit of Satan seemed suddenly to take hold of him in his dealings with the slaves”.Quote 2: “He did not answer her. That was his last blow at fate”.Quote 3: “When he spoke to her, it was with averted eyes, from which the old love-light seemed to have gone out”.In groups of 3 share your quotes and choose the best quote from everyone that best support one narrative perspective.Group narrative perspective:Person 1 Quote:Person 2 Quote:Person 3 Quote:Then, discuss what the function of this perspective is in the story as a whole. Write down your group’s function answer.Function:Homework.-Bring coloring utensils for Monday’s class (Ho) or next Friday’s class (Ping). (Diversified Assessment)-Make sure you have your copy of Oedipus Rexand start reading the prologue and first Scenefor next Friday.U4 Lesson 10Describe the plot JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
-Narrative Pacing.Narrative Pace--Note:Narrative Pacing-Example.“The woman brought two glasses of beers and two felt pads. She put the felt pads and the beer glass on the table and looked at the man and the girl. The girl was looking off at the lien of hills.” (Hemingway 1).Pace: Slow pace-In this example we see a slower narrative pace. Minute actions like setting “the beer glasson the table” are described in full sentences allowing time for the reader to experience thescene as if it is happening in real time.Function: -This allows the tension to build between the man and the girl over their explicit and implicit disagreement as both don’t present their desires entirely honestly. The pace dragshere just as the conversation, and in effect the resolution, reflecting how they never satisfactorily agree on a course of action for the operation. Therefore, unclear communication won’t produce satisfactory resolutions. Narrative Pacing-Practice.Find 2 quotes from “Desiree’s Baby” that exemplify its narrative pace.Narrative pace:Quote 1: “Then a strange, an awful change in her husband’s manner”Quote 2: “Madame Valmondé had not seen Désirée and the baby for four weeks. When shereached L’Abri she shuddered at the first sight of it, as she always did.Explain how pace is achieved.- The narrative pace is over all fast, the sudden marriage between Armand and Desiree Then explain the function of the narrative pacing in this story.- To illustrate the misery of Deisree and highlight the harms of racial prejudice.- For every interpretation, direct evidence needs to support it. Reflection.What is your preferred narrative pacing? Why?- Narrative Pacing: Narrative Pace-the speed in which a story is told; how quickly a story goes from one plot event to the next, and the time it takes to show or tell a specific event. Pace can be consistent over a story, or it can be manipulated in parts to emphasize, reveal or contrast meaning about characters, conflict or themes. This is not necessarily reflective of the real time of the story. A story that takes place over a single day can have a slow or a quick narrative pace.
Homework.-Bring coloring utensils for Monday’s class (Ho) or next Friday’s class (Ping). (Diversified Assessment)-Make sure you have your copy of Oedipus Rexand start reading the prologue and first Scenefor next Friday.FRQ 2 feedback:-“Willa is subordinate while Sonya is dominant” vs. “their relationship is imbalanced yet supportive”-The first simply identifies characteristics about the 2 characters. The second makes an interpretation about their relationship that contains 2 layers. -You cannot ignore the prompt directions. If it says “relationships”, then you must interpret some type of relationship inferences. If it says character, then it must be characteristics. If it says interactions/conflict, then it must be actions towards each other. If you mix these up, you could get 0/6 by the AP rubric for irrelevant prompt information.-The woman’s relationship between the girl and herself is also imbalanced yet supportive (she is suggesting the girls sell her candy)-Thematic statement review: Theme: The central message / argument / significance of a text. -Thematic statement: When you write the theme defensibly for purposes of thesis statements and argumentation. -Remember, these statements must have an active verb and must be phrased appropriately assertive. -“HLWE” Example: Disparity in relationship experience creates imbalance which is harmful and leads to the manipulation of naïve partners. Possible theme topics for Desirée’s baby: -Prejudice-Racial heritage-Discrimination-Destruction of humanity-
