Eyes Journal 8

Read chapters 14 and 15

Journal 8:  Choose two to three minor characters found in one or both chapters.  Discuss the character and how the character functions in the novel.

COMMENTARY PART II

Using the passage you prepped this weekend, write the body paragraphs for simple outline for a commentary.

Please include the following aspects:
I.  Topic sentence:   "Patterns lead to exertions"  identify a pattern and then identify the effect of that pattern.  Typically, this will either embrace a broad topic like structure for the entire poem or the exertion for a stanza with a variety of techniques to follow(1 to 2 sentence)

      A. 
Identify the pattern - if you said there was a simile, reveal exactly what two things 
           are being compared (this can be included in the sentence with your quote or at the 
           start of your analysis but probably won't be more than 1 sentence)


                    i.  Quotation (this may be one word or several words from different lines or an
                         entire line or two)

                   ii.   Analysis (probably 2 to 5 sentences)


Please note that for many patterns you may be quoting multiple examples. 

This means your outline might look like this:
   

Topic sentence, pattern, quotation, pattern, quotation, analysis
 

or


Topic sentence, pattern, quotation,analysis, quotation, analysis, analysis
(you would need an additional analysis for this one to tie your two pieces together)
or
 

Topic sentence, pattern, quotation,analysis pattern, quotation, analysis, analysis
or


you get the idea.

Put the effort in to make this a strong outline.  We'll discuss the outlines and edit them tomorrow in class so you'll have a model.
