Ch. 8: Trapped---and Review for "Mood"----

PLEASE COPY THE FOLLOWING NOTES IN THE READING/WRITING STRATEGIES SECTION OF YOUR NOTEBOOK:

MOOD--Mood is the general atmosphere created by the author’s words. It is the feeling the reader gets from reading those words. It may be the same, or it may change from situation to situation. 

Writers use many devices to create mood, including imagery, diction (author's word choice**), dialogue, setting*, and plot. Often a writer creates a mood at the beginning of the story and continues it to the end. However, sometimes the mood changes because of the plot or changes in characters.

Quick Write #4: Using outlines to increase our writing skills---vocab quiz tomorrow!

Please copy in the Malcolm X Section of your notebook: We will brainstorm together

Quick Write #4: How does the author develop one or more of the characters in this section (Chapter 6)? 

You have the choice of 1 of 2 options; Choose 1 only:

1. Characterize the hustlers, inhabitants of Harlem (this may or may not include Malcolm) as described in Chapter 6: "Detroit Red". Use your notes from class on direct characterization and your STEAL chart for help. You may also find it valuable to re-read portions of Ch. 6 (pages 87-94 and 104-110)

2. Characterize only Malcolm Little or his brother Reginald in Ch. 6: "Detroit Red". Again, you may find it valuable to re-read portions of Ch. 6: (pages 87-94 and 104-110).

Here are some ideas:

Choice #1:

       In Ch. 6 "Detroit Red" of The Autobiography of Malcolm X as told by Alex Haley, the author characterizes the hustlers and inhabitants of Harlem as ____________ and ____________. This is true because _________________________________.
        The author shows the inhabitants of Harlem as ___________.An example of this is shown on page _____ when the author states, __________. This proves __________________________.

       The author also characterizes the inhabitants of Harlem as _____________. On page _______ it states, _____________________. This shows ______________________________. This is also proven to be true on page _________ when the author describes _______________________ proving that ___________________________________.
       In conclusion ____________________________________________________________.

Choice #2:

       In Ch. 6 "Detroit Red" of The Autobiography of Malcolm X as told by Alex Haley, the author characterizes Malcolm Little, now known as "Red" as ____________ and ____________. This is true because _________________________________.
       The author uses characterization to show Malcolm as ___________.An example of this is __________. This proves _______________________________________.

        Clearly, Alex Haley's use of characterization of the main character is important in Ch. 6 because __________________________________________________________,

Central Ideas in Ch. 6

How does each quote relate to the central idea of systemic oppression or segregation?

Examples of Direct Characterization (give page #):


DON'T COPY THE NOTES BELOW--YOU WILL RECEIVE A HANDOUT!
Characterization: the process by which the writer reveals the personality of a character to you. There are two types:

•  Direct characterization-you are told what kind of person the character is--no thinking involved!!
• Example: "He was a caring and thoughtful man"

• Indirect characterization-you are shown what kind of person the character is---you figure it out!!
• Example: He took care of his mother every day after school, even though he didn't have to. 

STEAL METHOD OF INDIRECT CHARACTERIZATION (Notes available here)
S-SPEECH (What does the character say? How does the character speak?
T-THOUGHTS (What is revealed through the character's private thoughts and feelings?)
E-EFFECTS ON OTHERS (What is revealed through the character's effect on other people? How do other characters feel or behave in reaction to the character?)
A-ACTIONS (What does the character do? How does the character behave?
L-LOOKS (What does the character look like? How does the character dress?
