  5. What do these pictures have to do with the literary elements protagonist and antagonist? Write down your predictions

  6. Antagonist and Protagonist • antagonist - a character in a story or poem who deceives, frustrates, or works against the main character, or protagonist, in some way. • protagonist - A protagonist is considered to be the main character or lead figure in a novel, play, story, or poem; usually the person trying to solve the problem

  7. Conflict • Conflict is a struggle between opposing forces. • In an external conflict, a character clashes with an outside force—forexample, another character, society, or nature. • In an internal conflict, a character grapples with his or her own opposingfeelings, beliefs, needs, or desires. • Conflict drives the plot of most stories. Its solution usually occurs near the end of the story, in the resolution. When a story’s conflict is left unresolved, the character may have an epiphany, or sudden flash of insight that changes his or her feelings about the conflict. Some epiphanies can also lead to a plot’s resolution, or result from one. As you read, notice the conflicts that characters face and decide which ones truly are resolved.

  8. Man vs. _____ Look at the pictures and identify the conflict

  9. PLOT The sequence of events and actions that occur in story

  10. Plot Structure Components Climax: The turning point. The most intense moment (either mentally or in action. Rising Action: the series of conflicts and crisis in the story that lead to the climax. Falling Action: all of the action which follows the Climax. Exposition: The start of the story. The way things are before the action starts. Resolution: The conclusion, the tying together of all of the threads.

  11. Describe the picture below

  12. Setting and Forshadowing SETTING: time and place of a story (When and Where) Time: season, year, hour and minutes, time of day Place: location- anywhere! FORSHADOWING: clues or hints to prepare the reader for events and situations that will happen later in a story

  13. “Most Dangerous Game” Quick Write: What do you consider to be the “most dangerous game” ? Why?

  14. Vocabulary Palpable

  15. How is the word “palpable” used? "OFF THERE to the right--somewhere--is a large island," said Whitney." It's rather a mystery--" "What island is it?" Rainsford asked. "The old charts call it `Ship-Trap Island,"' Whitney replied." A suggestive name, isn't it? Sailors have a curious dread of the place. I don't know why. Some superstition--" "Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht.

  16. Amenity

  17. What are “amenities”? (plural of “amenity) They were eating borsch, the rich, red soup with whipped cream so dear to Russian palates. Half apologetically General Zaroff said, "We do our best to preserve the amenities of civilization here. Please forgive any lapses. We are well off the beaten track, you know. Do you think the champagne has suffered from its long ocean trip?"

  18. Condone

  19. Explain the meaning of the word in context The general laughed with entire good nature. He regarded Rainsford quizzically. "I refuse to believe that so modern and civilized a young man as you seem to be harbors romantic ideas about the value of human life. Surely your experiences in the war--" "Did not make me condone cold-blooded murder," finished Rainsford stiffly.

  20. Naïve

  21. Laughter shook the general. "How extraordinarily droll you are!" he said. "One does not expect nowadays to find a young man of the educated class, even in America, with such a naive, and, if I may say so, mid-Victorian point of view.

  22. scruple

  23. "Dear me," said the general, quite unruffled, "again that unpleasant word. But I think I can show you that your scruples are quite ill founded."

  24. futile

  25. Now he had got a grip on himself, had stopped, and was taking stock of himself and the situation. He saw that straight flight was futile; inevitably it would bring him face to face with the sea.

  26. Plot Chart

  27. Conflict:What is the conflict described here? Rainsford remembered the shots. They had come from the right, and doggedly he swam in that direction, swimming with slow, deliberate strokes, conserving his strength. For a seemingly endless time he fought the sea. He began to count his strokes; he could do possibly a hundred more and then--

  28. Conflict: What is personified? How does this personification describe Rainford’s conflict with the sea? Bleak darkness was blacking out the sea and jungle when Rainsford sighted the lights. He came upon them as he turned a crook in the coast line; and his first thought was that be had come upon a village, for there were many lights. But as he forged along he saw to his great astonishment that all the lights were in one enormous building--a lofty structure with pointed towers plunging upward into the gloom. His eyes made out the shadowy outlines of a palatial chateau; it was set on a high bluff, and on three sides of it cliffs dived down to where the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows.

  29. Characterization Rainsford- Protagonist Zaroff-Antagonist • Personality Trait • T • O • A • D • S • Personality Trait • T • O • A • D • S

  30. Foreshadowing Whitney and Rainsford discuss hunting: Whitney-“Great sport, hunting. “The best sport in the world,” agreed Rainsford Whitney- “For the hunter…not for the hunted” Rainsford- “The world is made up of two classes, the hunters and the huntees” How is this foreshadowing?

  31. Traveling on yacht in the darkness of night Ship Trap Island “Sailors have a curious dread of the place” “The place has reputation-a bad one” Rainsford hears a gun fired 3 times and a “high screaming sound, the sound of an animal in an extremity of anguish and terror” Something was hunted and killed because Rainsford finds an empty cartridge Zaroff is waiting for Rainsford Zaroff to Rainsford: “I have done a rare thing. I have invented a new sensation”

  32. Suspense Uncertainty or anxiety the reader feels about what is going to happen next in a story. Whitney mentions the sailors’ fear of Ship-Trap Island. Rainsford lands on Ship-Trap Island Zaroff hunts Rainsford Will Rainsford escape or become the next victim, killed by the evil and weird Zaroff?

  33. Metaphor and Simile Metaphor: making a comparison between 2 unlike things without using like or as Example: “Those fishy blue eyes” “I could sleep without closing my eyes; the night would be my eyelids” Simile: making a comparison between 2 unlike things using like or as Example: The Caribbean night is “like moist black velvet” “The sea was as flat as a plate-glass window”

  34. Mood dominant impression or emotional atmosphere evoked by the text. MDG mood: tense and suspenseful Examples: List an example of the mood from the story (passage-3-4 sentences)

  35. Narration What is the definition of narrator? What is 1st person point of view ? What is 3rd person omniscient? What is 3rd person limited? “Most Dangerous game is told from which point of view (POV)?

  36. Theme Definition: Central idea of a work of literature Not the same as the subject, which can usually be expressed in a word or two: love, childhood, death. It is the idea the writer wishes to reveal about that subject. It can be expressed it an least one complete sentence: ex: Love is more powerful than family loyality, Romeo and Juliet

  37. It is not directly stated in a work of literature Reader has to think of all the elements of the work and make an educated guess, or inference, about what the theme is. MDG: subject- murder, possible theme: Although murder is intense, it is still wrong. Subject-Hunting, possible theme: Hunting is murder

  38. Short Answer: “ABC” A-Answer the question B-Bring in the text: a quote from the story related to the answer C- Connect with commentary: explain how the quote relates to the answer NOTE: You will only have 11 lines to write your response

  39. Short Answer Model What it Rainsford’s primary conflict? A. Rainsford’s primary conflict is to survive and not get killed by Zaroff. B. “Rainsford held his breath. The general’s eyes…were traveling inch by inch up the tree. Rainsford froze there, every muscle tensed for a spring.” (p. 231) Look for a quote that strongly supports the answer in “A” C. Rainsford nervously tries to stay quiet, fearful that the general is aware of his presence . Connect “A” with “B”. Explain how the quote shows that Rainsford main conflict is to survive and avoid getting killed by Zaroff.

  40. Now put it all together as a paragraph (you will only have 11 lines) Rainsford’s primary conflict is to survive and avoid getting killed by Zaroff. For example, “Rainsford held his breath. The general’s eyes…were traveling inch by inch up the tree. Rainsford froze there, every muscle tensed for a spring.” (p. 231) . Rainsford nervously tries to stay quiet, fearful that the general is aware of his presence .
