Period 2
Aim: How can we analyze the importance of names, while symbolically analyzing the characters of the novel?
Notes:
Do Now: Why do you believe we devote (give) so much time and place so much importance.emphasis on the names we create for people/children?
Why do you believe author’s take so much time and care in naming their characters in their works of literature?
Student Responses:
- We put a lot of time and effort into naming our kids because most of them have significant importance
- Authors take a lot of time to name their characters because it determines their character traits and it gives them a stereotype
Literary Terms Recap:
- Allegory(N) - a literary, dramatic pictorial device in which each literal character, object, event represents symbols illustrating/showing an idea, moral or religious principle; a parable, fable, story.
- Characterization(N) - is used to discuss: physical traits, personalities, what someone says about a character, what they say or feel about themselves. (Direct/Indirect)
- Personification(N) - giving human like personalities/characteristics to inanimate objects
What Was Done In Class:
- Read "The Baby Name Business" - Wall Street Journal Article
- As time progresses parents find that it’s getting increasingly difficult to choose a name for upcoming children because of reasons such as:
- uniqueness
- the sound of the name and the way it flows
- wanting the name to associate with good people
- wanting their name to stand out for opportunities and give their children a head start
- We answered questions such as :
1. Creating a unified summary of the main ideas found within the article
2. Identifying 5 ways in which choosing a name is important and explaining why
3. What the possible ramifications in choosing a wrong name would be
and
4. How does it correlate to the novel, AnimalFarm (specifically, chapter 1)?
