Today’s warm up will be written on your own paper. We are going to identify pronouns today, so please read over the table below to familiarize yourself with the varying pronouns. A pronoun is a word that substitutes for a noun or noun phrase.

1.) My green shirt has a hole in it. 2.) Her older brother drove us to the mall. 3.) I gave them to Austin. 4.) We could not stand their whining! 5.) Your brother gave himself a mohawk, but I think he looks awkward now!

PLOT DIAGRAM

Characterization is the process by which the writer reveals the personality of a character. Characterization is revealed through direct characterization and indirect characterization.

Direct characterization tells the audience what the personality of the character is. Example: “The patient boy and quiet girl were both well-mannered and did obey their mother.” The author is directly telling the audience the personality of these two children. The boy is “patient” and the girl is “quiet.”

Indirect characterization shows things that reveal the personality of a character. There are five methods of indirect characterization: Speech What does the character say? How does the character speak? Thoughts What is revealed through the character’s most private thoughts and feelings? Effect on others toward the character What is revealed through the character’s effect on other people? How do other characters feel or behave in reaction to the character? Actions What does the character do? How does the character behave? Looks What does the character look like? How does the character dress?

You have five minutes with a partner to find as many examples of literary devices as you can in “The Cask of Amontillado.”

 First Person Point of View In the first person point of view, the narrator does participate in the action of the story. When reading stories in the first person, we need to realize that what the narrator is recounting might not be the objective truth. We should question the trustworthiness of the accounting.  Third Person Point of View Here the narrator does not participate in the action of the story as one of the characters, but lets us know exactly how the characters feel. We learn about the characters through this outside voice.  Omniscient and Limited Omniscient Points of View A narrator who knows everything about all the characters is all knowing, or omniscient. A narrator whose knowledge is limited to one character has a limited omniscient point of view.

Is Montresor a reliable narrator? Can we trust what he’s saying? What evidence from the text proves your position?

Types of Irony: Verbal: implies a different meaning to what is actually said Dramatic: the audience is aware of something that the characters in the story are not aware of. Situational: a discrepancy between what is expected to happen and what actually happens.

‘I drink to the buried that repose around us!” “and I to your long life!” “I shall not die of a cough!” “True, True.” “the supreme madness of the carnival” “The man wore motley”

“I must not only punish, but punish with impunity” “the cough is a mere nothing; it will not kill me” “producing a trowel from beneath the folds of my roquelaure”
