Imagery in “Harrison Bergeron” And in your own writing!

SWBAT identify and evaluate imagery in “Harrison Bergeron” To do this you will have to be able to do the following: Know what imagery is Identify imagery in HB Identify handicaps as showing the suppression on society in HB Make connections between the imagery and how effective it is in conveying Vonnegut’s message

What is Imagery? Imagery is the technique the author uses the create a meaningful visual experience for the reader. Look to the right: What kind of sentence could you write about this picture?

What about? The child got mad at the teacher. Does this paint a picture for the reader? Does it appeal to the five senses?

Here’s how authors make the reading experience enjoyable: Adding IMAGERY! Authors do this by: Using Alliteration: Stammering a reply and stomping out the door, the young scholar stopped and displayed his middle finger. Using a Simile: After seeing the grade, her fist hammered the desk and she shrieked like a lioness having come upon two hyenas eating her cub. Using Onomatopoeia: The bang of the door echoed through the hall as Billy left the room after a long detention. Using a Metaphor: The football player--a stonebreaker on the field, a stone off it--lamented his ineligibility. Notice how these devices add so much more to the image of a child getting mad at a teacher than the sentence: “The child got mad at the teacher” With a partner, discuss each of these devices and how they help create a picture in your head about what is going on between the child and the teacher.

Practice The pizza tasted great. The class was boring. Use onomatopoeia, alliteration, simile, or metaphor to create imagery with these examples The pizza tasted great. The class was boring. The football team thinks they are are so cool. My teacher is weird. The mugger attacked his victim.
