AP Literature and Composition November 13, 2013 “It’s a Gallery Walk Wednesday!” Mr. Houghteling

AGENDA Re-form into your groups and finish your Literary Criticism posters. Gallery Walk. Write an “AFTER” reflection about your interpretation of The Giving Tree.

Gallery Walk In your groups—and with notebooks—take take a gallery walk around to the different posters. Make four sections: Gender, Archetypal, Eco-Criticism, and Marxist. Discuss and take notes on the different observations your classmates had about the critical approach toward The Giving Tree. Give yourself only 2-3 minutes per poster.

After the Gallery Walk / Homework 1. Write a short personal reflection about how the criticism affected your interpretation of the story. 2. Which school of criticism did you find most applicable to The Giving Tree? 3. Which school of criticism interests you the most? Why?

The Giving Tree – Gender Criticism The female tree can be interpreted as Mother Earth, or simply a mother, sustaining the dominant male first with enjoyment and food and later with the means to provide shelter and transportation.

The Giving Tree – Marxist Criticism When the boy is young, he is content simply to play with the tree: climbing up her trunk, gathering her apples, and sleeping in her shade. However, as he grows older, he becomes increasingly demanding of the tree’s resources. He is no longer content to enjoy the tree’s company, but rather he seeks the tree for financial and materialistic gain.

The Giving Tree – Eco-Criticism Man is dependent on nature for survival: the man systematically destroys the tree in order to get what he wants in order to be happy.

The Giving Tree – Archetypal Criticism The tree—with her branches, her trunk, and her apples—is the giver of life, reiterating the archetype of nature as provider for man.

“Siren Song” For our next poem, do some research on the mythical creatures the Sirens. Visit at least three different texts, websites, or other media when conducting your research. Make sure to cite your sources. You may remember that in The Odyssey, Odysseus and his men encountered the Sirens. The Odyssey would count as one of cited sources.
