  10. Analogies Review • Look at the introductory pages for analogies and identify the four strategies that they suggest using. • Look at pages 127-131. Think about why you missed some responses. Was it because you did not understand the relationship? Or was it because you did not know the definition of the word? • Discuss each page one at a time with your group. Focus on the ones that you missed because you did not understand the relationship. Compare and teach each other the answers that you struggled with. Explain why you chose that answer and that relationship. • Look back a your incorrect answers. What types of analogies did you have the most trouble with. • You may want to tally the incorrect response total for each type on page 124. • Now go back and look at the answers that you got wrong because you did not know the definition of the word. Make a list of these words and the definitions to study from.

  12. What is Serial Writing? • Basically, a serial is an ongoing story not much different from the format of a contemporary soap opera. • Just as "Days of Our Lives" gives the viewer a story that runs on in daily, manageable bites, serial stories break a story down into segments, keeping the reader coming back for more. • TOTC was originally published in weekly installments that lasted from April to November of 1859. • Serial stories provide people with a depth of story that can't be achieved in a short story. • At the same time, it provides deeper stories in small, easily digestible chunks. • Dickens’ attempt was to create a popular story full of suspense and intrigue that leaves many questions after the first few chapters. Some of the questions, like how Mme. Manette’s father came to be incarcerated for 18 years. • It takes patience to get through, but is ultimately very rewarding.

  13. A note on the Dickensian writing style … • Much of what Dickens wrote is considered to be gothic literature. • Gothic literature is a genre that establishes an uneasy, mysterious mood through the use of remote, desolate settings, supernatural or macabre events, and violence. • Gothic literature dominated much of fiction from the late eighteenth century through the end of the nineteenth century.

  14. The Route Between England & France Twentieth-century travelers have been able to make the one-way trip between London and Paris in just under six hours: they take a train from London to Dover, where they board a ferry on the 21-mile across the choppy English Channel to Calais. From there, they take a train to Paris. Since 1994, however, passengers can cut their travel time to a mere three hours by riding on a high-speed train through a tunnel beneath the English Channel, popularly known as the Chunnel. What would Jarvis Lorry and his traveling companions think if they were to see the Chunnel train hurtling through the country side at a starling 185 miles per hour?
