  5. The Craft of Writing – Day 1 Agenda • Writing Prompt • Literary terms review • Literary terms exercise • “Charles” by Shirley Jackson • Work time for interview essay Writing Prompt: • What hobbies or activities do you participate in that have a special vocabulary? (Consider sports, automobiles, scrapbooking, etc.) List 5 vocabulary words and their meanings for your area.

  6. Example - Scrapbooking • Corner rounder – curved paper cutter used to make rounded corners on paper and photos • Corner mounts – small pockets, usually with adhesive on the back, for mounting pictures without tape or glue • Scrap – to create scrapbooks

  7. Literature also has a vocabulary.Pre-test, number 1-6 • The person telling the story • When something in the story gives you a hint about what’s going to happen in the story • When an object or event has a non-literal meaning in the story • Comparisons – some use like or as • A reference to something outside the story that a reader is already familiar with • An extended metaphor –the same one seen throughout the story

  8. Answers and examples • 1. Narrator – person telling the story – lots of different kinds “When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow.” Lee, Harper. To Kill A Mockingbird. Warner Books ed. New York: Warner Books, 1960. 7. Print.

  9. 2. Foreshadowing • Clues about what will happen • “Don’t stray from the path, don’t talk to strangers, and don’t stop until you get to your grandmother’s house” Grimm, Jacob, and Wilhelm Grimm. Grimm's Fairy Tales. New York: Knox, 1982. 123. Print

  10. 3. Symbolism • When something is more than it seems. • Example – In T.H. White’s The Once and Future King, the sword in the stone is more than just a literal sword; it represents Arthur’s strength and authority • (Casablanca example – Vichy water)

  11. 4. Simile and Metaphor • Simile – a comparison using “like” or “as.” Example – “My love is like a red, red rose” from the poem by Robert Burns. Metaphor – a comparison that doesn’t use “like” or “as.” Example – I am a butterfly, flying free. (I made that one up)

  12. 5. Allusion • A reference to something else, often not explicit, to help you understand the current reading. • For example – two young boys in a scary (but non-nautical situation) . One says “We’re going to need a bigger boat.” • Phineas and Ferb examples

  13. 6. Allegory – extended metaphor • When a comparison is made over a chapter or the entire work • Example – Orwell’s Animal Farm

  16. Narrator • What is the difference between the narrator and the author? • What kinds of narrators are there? • Who is the narrator of this text? • How does that choice of narrator affect this story?

  17. Laurie’s mom • What do we know about her and how do we know it?

  18. Word choice: Connotation Consider: In a well crafted story, no word is wasted or accidental. • How does Laurie feel about his dad? • How do you know?
