ENGLISH 090 September 30, 2013 “The Chase” Vocabulary (continued)

The Chase Annie Dillard is best known for her Pulitzer Prize winning work Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. In this chapter from her autobiography, An American Childhood, Dillard leads us running desperately through snow-filled backyards. Like all of Dillard’s writing, this romp shows an unparalleled enthusiasm for life and skill at expressing it.

The Chase Besides to entertain, what is Dillard’s PURPOSE? Why does Dillard begin her essay with a discussion of football? In what way does football serve as a metaphor in the story? (Hint: Look at par. 13, as well as the sentence “It was all or nothing” in par. 1.) Why does Dillard interrupt the story of the chase with an “immense discovery” (par. 13)? What is Dillard’s POINT OF VIEW? Is her perspective that of a seven-year-old girl, or that of an adult writer reflecting on her childhood experience? What is the EFFECT of the last sentence of the essay?
