You now have 19 days to complete the close reading and the report.  Everyone look at Aeries right now:  That is your grade.  If you don't do it...  Now look at your grade. 

2.  Book Report Format:  Linked on warrenmlk.com.  The format must be followed EXACTLY is you want full credit.

Reminder:  This is worth 650 points to your grade.

Close Reading IN BOOK:  100

Oral Question:  100

Book Report:  200 (no rewrites on this)

Page total:  250

This will probably drop a grade 10% if not complete.

Chapter 3 Notes

Point of View and Allusion

 

What is point of View?   Point of View is the vantage point from which a writer tells a story.  There  are three kinds.

 

What is Omniscient Point of View?  Omniscient means ALL KNOWING.  The narrator is outside of the story and knows all of the characters’ thoughts, past, and feelings.

 

What is Limited Third Person Point of View?  The narrator is outside of the story, but focuses on the actions, thoughts, feelings and past of only one character.

 

What is First Person point of View?  It is when a character in the story tells the story.  The reader knows only the thoughts and feelings of the character telling the story.

 

 

 

What is an Allusion?  An allusion is when an author uses another more famous literary work as a reference.  The story can model one or more parts of the original piece of literature.  Common allusions are Biblical Allusions and Literary Allusions.

 

What is Voice?  It is the writer’s special use of language in a story that includes diction and tone.

       1)  Diction:  The kinds of words a writer chooses.  It can be formal, informal, poetic, plain, etc..

       2)  Tone:  Is the attitude a writer takes toward the audience, a subject or character.  It is conveyed through the writer’s choice of words.  It can be humorous, sad, or friendly, etc…

 

What is vernacular style:  It is when a writer writes exactly like the character would speak.  Usually first person stories use some sort of vernacular style, which will make the story more realistic, but may also cause it to be harder to read.  Example: remember Charlie
