Thursday Agenda 5/4/17
Turn in Prufrock thesis statement papers with extra credit stickers if you did one this week.
Whole class reads passage 1 together and goes over correct responses.
Passage 1
Set up a page that has the title:
Frankenstein Passage 1
Answers and Explanations
Example for Numbers 1-3 - This is how your answers should look for the rest of the questions on this page 4-8.
1. D-selected with expertise.
Since they are "culled" (chosen) "with the choicest art" (carefully), the words are selected with expertise.
2. A-Synaesthesia. There is no synaesthesia in the lines. There is parallelism ("to use...to give...to say," "my fortune, my existence, my every hope"), ellipsis ("one man's life or [one man's] death"), hyperbolic language ("burning ardour of my soul," "all the fervour that warmed me," "how gladly I would sacrifice my fortune, my existence, my every hope," "elemental foes of our race") and imagery (the battle with "life or death," "dominion," "elemental foes").
3. E-parallelism. There is little parallelism in the lines, and parallelism is not usually associated with agitation. The allusion in the imagery of drinking the "draught" and "dashing the cup from my lips" is to poison and/or "Let this cup pass..." The diction of "unhappy," "madness," and "intoxicating" all add to the sense of agitation. The short fragment "Unhappy man!"the rhetorical questions, the imperatives, and the use of dash all imply extreme agitation.

On the back of Passage 1 explanations, set up your page for Passage 2 in the same way. You only need to answer 6 of the 7 questions that I provided in the link. Please choose the 6 questions that you feel the most confident about.
Keep the numbering the same as the numbers that I used on the document.
Write down explanations for why you think your answer is correct.
If you get the answer wrong, you must write why the other answer that you chose is incorrect for complete credit.
This is the same process that you will use for every Passage Assignment that I give to you.
Begin passage 2 for homework! Choose 6 questions and be prepared to explain why your answers are correct or incorrect if you get the answer wrong in front of the class. Due tomorrow!
