  1. February 3, 2011 Voice“So, You’re Really Reading Dostoevsky?” Day 2 • How does the author connect with the reader? • What warning does the author give to his readers? Circle the warning words and phrases he uses. • What is the author’s purpose and how do the warnings help make his purpose clear?

  2. Student Goals • Write rough draft of Alvarez analysis. • Revise body paragraphs. • Write an introduction paragraph. • Write a conclusion paragraph.

  3. Read p. 732. • Complete the practice! Language Book 1. Poe uses sensory details such as “his room was as black as pitch with the thick darkness” to create a feeling of terror. 2. Edgar Allan Poe uses comparison for description, likening the beating of an “old man’s heart” to the sound “a watch makes when enveloped in cotton.” 3. “Nervous—very, very dreadfully nervous” are the words Poe uses to establish the narrator of “The Tell-Tale Heart” as troubled. 4. Poe’s poetic language, especially his use of personification in phrases such as “when all the world slept,” reinforces the atmosphere of terror.

  4. Read p. 733. • Complete the practice! Language Book 1. In Leslie Marmon Silko’s“The Man to Send Rain Clouds,” imagery reinforces the story’s conflict: “The wind pulled at the priest’s brown Franciscan robe and swirled away the cornmeal and pollen.” 2. Louise wants to be sure that Teofilo“won’t be thirsty.” 3. The priest asks, “What brings you here?” 4. Leon “took a piece of string out of his pocket and tied a small gray feather in the old man’s white hair”; here he observes tradition. 5. Why does Leon say, “Now the old man could send big thunder-clouds for sure”?
