  1. BRIAR ROSE Intertextuality & Allegory

  2. Intertextuality: The idea that all texts are linked and we understand them better if we know the links. Why do we use this intertextuality? • Reference to another text creates another layer of meaning • Makes it more challenging and interesting to the responder • Creates an ‘experience' for the responder

  3. Allegory: an extended metaphor whereby the responder is exposed to another story or interpretation within a narrative on a much deeper level. Why do we use allegory? • Often makes difficult subjects easier to understand • Enables the writer/storyteller to entertain while he/she teaches moral lessons or acceptable behaviour

  4. Fill in Gemma’s experience for each specific part of the sleeping beauty story.

  5. QUESTION Why do you think Yolen uses allegory to illustrate Gemma’s experience of the Holocaust?
