Presentation transcript:

 What are your most painful memories? Have you overcome them? Is there anything you can learn from them? › Remember to write the title and the date (8/29/14) on the top. › You have 4 minutes to write and 2 minutes to revise.

 Objective: Students will explain how an author’s use of symbolism or imagery affected the tone of a poem.  Agenda: › Quick Write with Revision › Focus Lesson: Symbolism and Imagery › Read “Do not go gentle into that good night” › Check for Understanding  Homework: › Have a book to read on Tuesday.

 Symbolism: The use of a person, a place, an activity, or an object to stand for something beyond itself. › In the story “Through the Tunnel,” by Doris Lessing, the rocky bay represents challenge, danger, and adulthood; the beach represents safety for the main character. = Innocence = freedom, America = Peace

 Imagery: Descriptive words and phrases that recreate sensory experiences for the reader. Imagery appeals to one or more of the 5 senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch) to help the reader imagine what is being described.  Examples: › In the poem “Incident in a Rose Garden,” by Donald Justice, the reader can imagine Death wearing a black coat, black gloves, and a black hat. › In the story “To Build a Fire,” by Jack London, the reader can picture the fire snapping, crackling, and dancing, which appeals to the senses of sight and hearing.

 When writers use both symbolism and imagery, they often use an object.  However, with imagery, the object is intended to help the reader imagine what is going on in the story; it does not have a meaning beyond itself.  With symbolism, the object is meant to represent an idea beyond itself.

 Narrative Poem: › Settings:  A lingering sunset  A bolt of lightning  A green bay  A shooting star  The top of a mountain › Conflict: a fight against death › Characters:  The speaker  The speaker’s dying father

 Imagery: › Wise men, good men, and grave men › All of the settings he describes  Symbols: › Day = life › Night = afterlife or a void › Sunset = the moment of death › Sun = beauty and wonder in the world › Lightning, Meteors, Fire, etc. = the act of living life with intensity

 On your notecard: › Your first and last name › The tone of the poem › An explanation of how ONE of the symbols or images helped create the tone you chose for the poem
