Thurs. Nov. 20, 2014: Apostrophe Possessives/ characterization

Today, we went over another question from your grammar exam. We discussed plural agreement and apostrophe possessives.

You were then given an assignment to complete as part of a group. The only question that you need to do on your own is question nine; however, IF YOU WERE NOT HERE, or you were put in another room to complete the readings, the other questions need to be completed on your own.

"The Lamp at Noon" Questions
INSTRUCTIONS: Either by yourself (if absent) or in a group, answer the following questions. All of the answers can be in jot notes except for question nine. I will be marking this one as a writing assignment.

1. Describe the expository information for this story as it relates to setting.
2. What point of view is being used to convey this story? How do you know this? Is this a good choice? Why or why not?
3. What is the main conflict of this story? Provide evidence to prove this (at least three pieces).
4. Give three examples of how the wind is personified. What is the effect of this on the mood of the story?
