Yesterday, we learned the terms metamorphosis, epiphany,foreshadowing and flashback.
We discussed how Julie James went through a metamorphosis or change after the night of the accident. She changed from a perky, bubbly cheerleader to a serious, studious bookworm.
Ray Bronson also experienced a metamorphosis. He changed from an irresponsible, spineless teenage boy to a mature, confident, responsible young man.
Helen Rivers had a wake-up call or epiphany at the age of 12. She realized her looks were really the only thing she had going for her. She examined herself in the mirror and focused on improving her appearance. She had very little academic ability, and acknowledged that her physical attributes would help her to succeed in the future.
The novel is told through flashbacks or events that happened in the past which help to tell the story. Foreshadowing or a hint about the future, is evident in Chapter 8 when Collie tells Helen that his own Mom would "lose it" if anything happened to her son. He assures her that after Barry was shot, Mrs. Cox is acting the way any mother would act in the same situation.
Vocabulary words, definitions and parts of speech due tomorrow, September 24th, in Vocabulary/Notetaking Notebook.
Chapter 10 quarter notes due on Thursday, September 25th.
Keep working on the captions for The Penny Book. You should have 8 captions by this Friday, September 26th.
Remember alliteration, personification, simile and metaphor. We will continue to work on all of the above. Great Work TEAM 7-2!!
