The Fox and the Forest
I'll post the ?'s to this soon... my baby is crawling under the computer and pulling at the wires, so I have to go for now :) Be sure you read the reading for the last two weeks. I have yet to post ?'s for those two chapters, but I will (Marionettes, Inc. and The Man). Have a good weekend!
Kaleidoscope
1. Find an example of a simile
2.Why would the title of this chapter be "Kaleidoscope?" There is not only ONE right answer. Give your opinion.
3.What is ironic in this chapter?
4.Does Ray Bradbury follow the rules for dialogue as we discussed in class? What do notice that he does well (pertaining to our notes on dialogue)?
5. Do any of the characters change (dynamic character)? Which characters would be considered static (do not change from the beginning to the end of the chapter)?
6. People have come up with folk tales to describe things in nature that they do not have the scientific technology to understand. This story makes me think of a futuristic folk tale to describe where falling stars come from. Summarize a folk tale that describes how something in nature came to be (but because of our scientific understandings, we know not to be true).
7. Make up your own folk tale to describe how something in nature came to be.
8. If you could rename this chapter, what would you call it and why?
9. Who is telling this story? A narrator or a character? If it's a character, it's first person point of view. If it's a narrator, it's either an omniscient narrator or it's third person limited. If it's omniscient, we know the thoughts/ feelings of more than one character (and not because they said it aloud). If it's 3rd limited, we only know the inner thoughts or feelings of one character. Which point of view is used in this story?
10. At the end of this chapter, the author continues telling the story of The Illustrated Man from the prologue (the first chapter). What do you think will happen next?
