  1. AGENDA • TODAY IN CLASS WE ARE: • Taking a quiz! Woo hooo! • Answering response questions • Writing our own allegorical narrative!

  2. Old Man and The Sea Original Allegory

  3. JOURNAL • 1) JUST MY LUCK: Think of a time or a period in your life when you were unlucky--maybe unlucky beyond your worst dreams. Unlucky when you didn't deserve to be. Unlucky in spite of great effort or skill on your part. Perhaps it was a series of tests that got bad grades even though you studied, or many trips to the plate without a hit even though you tried very hard and you're usually a good hitter. Outline this experience. • 2) FALSE PRIDE VS. TRUE PRIDE: (a)Are there times when we or someone else refuses help even though it is needed? Can you think of a time this happened to you? (b) More importantly, if it is refused, why? What's the difference between false and true pride? Define what you think false and true pride are and answer questions (a) and (b) in your response journal.

  4. SWBT: write a narrative imitating modernist themes and elements. • Assignment: Today you will write an allegory that imitates the themes and elements from the literary modernism movement.

  5. WHAT YOU NEED TO CONSIDER • Shifting perspective • Interest in the inner workings of the human mind • Disillusionment- think of the man who returns to the cave with the hopes of educating the prisoners… • Focus on symbols

  6. What I will be looking for: • Needs to indirectly answer this question: What is a human struggle that many people can relate with? • Example: Hemingway’s struggle was with his writing CAREER. • Can you brainstorm other topics? (Charity, Greed, Democracy, Innocence, etc) • Clear Thesis • Example: Through his journey, this man learned… • A “Hemingway” hero’s struggle with something symbolic • Is an allegory • Example: The Tortoise and The Hare (arrogance/pride as a human condition) • Allegory of the Cave (ignorance as a human condition? Rejection of alternative views)
