  1. Drill 5/16: • Using the description from the text, sketch out how you envision Okonkwo’s compound. • ***If you are submitting a rewrite of your essay, please remember to give me the rubric TODAY. The essay is due on turnitin.com by midnight tonight.***

  2. Agenda • Drill and review • Finish chapter three and discussion. • Aristotle’s definition of the tragic hero. • Apply definition to both Brutus from Caesar and Okonkwo from TFA. • Read chapter 4.

  3. Learning Targets: • I can apply Aristotle’s definition of a tragic hero to two characters from important literary works. • I can cite strong and thorough textual evidence that supports my inferences and analysis of the text. • I can analyze the development of the theme throughout a text including how it is shaped by specific details and events. • I can analyze a point of view or cultural experience as reflected in a work from outside the US.

  4. Aristotle’s Tragic Hero • Someone who is “highly renowned and prosperous” • Must fall from fortune • Has a tragic flaw: a character flaw that causes the hero’s undoing; a weakness (i.e., pride, jealousy) • Somewhat responsible for own downfall • Recognizes flaw after downfall and accepts consequences (may be enlightened by experience) • Suffering arouses sympathy from the audience • Audience can relate to hero being “human”
