  7. OBJECTIVE Annotate the first two pages of HUCK FINN in a close read, annotating for evidence of Huck’s character traits and writing style.

  8. STYLE DETECTIVE WORKSHEET Look through Huck Finn to find evidence of the following stylistic elements. You are looking for evidence of Huck’s writing style. Write the beginning and the end of the quote with ellipses in between (i.e. “YOU don’t know about me… but that ain’t no matter” (pg. 1) You may NOT use the same quote twice on this worksheet.

  9. Lit Devices for Today: Stream of Consciousness Digression Repetition Diction Tone

  10. Stream of Consciousness • “Stream of consciousness is a narrative mode that seeks to portray an individual's point of view by giving the written equivalent of the character's thought processes” AKA: Telling the story from the character’s point of view, exactly how they’re thinking it

  11. OUTSIDE EXAMPLE: “Fight Club” GQ: How is this an example of Stream of Consciousness narration? Quote the film for your example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZTvYGP0O6s

  12. DIGRESSION • “A temporary departure from the main subject in speech or writing” AKA: When the narrator goes off-topic during the telling of their story

  13. DIGRESSION OUTSIDE EXAMPLE: I hate people who do not respect others. Teachers seem to disrespect students; students disrespect teachers. Parents often show little regard for their children and their children in turn show little regard for their parents and others. The other day, I saw a couple arguing in front of their kids. It wasn't a bad argument, just a little arguing, you know, "I think this" and "I disagree", and the dad yelled about how much the mom spent on shoes. The mom yelled how the dad stayed out late...and well, they finally 'kissed and made up', you know. Parents must teach children to respect, which is taught in many mini lessons. For example...

  14. Repetition • The act or process or an instance of repeating or being repeated. • AKA: When the author/narrator intentionally repeats words or phrases

  15. REPETITION OUTSIDE EXAMPLE: “The Help” Quote the film for your example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H50llsHm3k Other examples: “Winter is coming” – GoT “My precious” – LOTR “Stupid is as stupid does” IMDB

  16. DICTION: • “Choice and use of words in speech or writing.” • AKA: Strategically using certain words over others

  17. DICTION OUTSIDE EXAMPLE:

  18. TONE: “The narrator’s expressed attitudes in a story and toward the audience. These are implied in a literary work.” • AKA: It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it
