In-class Essay: Juxtaposition and Characterization

LT: I can analyze how Capote uses point of view and stylistic elements to create character by juxtaposing two passages.

 1. ICB Group Discussion
Threads:
I. The Perversion of the American Dream
II. Nature vs. Nurture: The Dynamics of Family Life
III. Outcasts, Misfits, Alienation
IV. Epigraph- how does the fit Capote's purpose?

 2. In-Class Essay

  • You will have about 50 minutes to do the in-class essay.
  • Read the prompt (last page) carefully and then the passages. Try to annotate for key points you will make in your essay.
  • Your essay will be hand-written and turned in at the end of class (along with your annotated notes!). Don’t worry--it’s not a “test”! It’s only scored so we know where we are and where we’re going!!
