In this unit, we will:
In this unit, we will:
1. Analyze point of view ~ Who is telling the story?
1st Person ~ Told by a character in the story.
2nd Person ~ The narrator will address the reader as if they are having a conversation.
3rd Person ~ Told by a narrator NOT in the story.
2. Learn about unreliable narrators ~ In fiction, as in life, the unreliable narrator is a character who can't be trusted.
3. Analyze suspense
- Suspense ~ Suspense is the intense feeling we go through while waiting for the outcome of certain events in a story. We might experience fear or excitement as we read stories such as "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe. Suspense leaves the readers holding their breath and wanting more information. The amount of intensity in a suspenseful moment is why it is hard to put a book down.
4. Analyze Language
- Repetition ~ Repetition is a literary device that repeats the same words or phrases a few times to emphasize ideas or to create suspense.
EXAMPLE:
“The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster…
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.”
