LESSON 9 English 8

LET’S REVIEW FICTION refers to stories which are not true or are make-believe. It may have facts and may sound true, but it isn’t true or real. NON-FICTION refers to stories that are real and true. These are based on facts and are informative.

LET’S REVIEW TONE in literature is the speaker's or narrator's attitude towards the subject, rather than what the reader feels (mood). MOOD is the general feeling or atmosphere that a piece of writing creates within the reader. Mood is produced most effectively through the use of setting, theme, voice and tone.

LET’S REVIEW AUTHOR’S PURPOSE Authors write for many reasons: to entertain to convince or persuade to inform or teach When we read, it is important for us to understand why the piece was written.

LET’S REVIEW SHORT STORY vs. NOVEL Short stories are a chocolate bar, novels are a lolly mix: Short stories tend to focus on one main character, novels can focus on a multitude of characters, and relationships. Short stories are a brief romance, novels are a long-term relationship: Short stories are written to create a short but powerful impact, whereas the impact of a novel is drawn out for as long as possible, creating a deeper relationship with the reader. Short stories are a roller-coaster, novels are the theme-park: Short stories give a glimpse of an event, or period of time, while novels cover the entire event. Short stories are sketch, novels are a woven tapestry: Short stories are brief and focussed, novels stop to smell the roses along the way. (Source: en.Wikipedia.org)

HOW DO YOU VISUALIZE A LOCAL WITCH? Describe your local witch’s features? Dwellings? How is your witch different from the ones we see in Walt Disney films?

ACTIVITY: STORY STRING We shall see how strong your description of a witch is from the one we have in today’s story. As you read at your own pace, you will fill in the worksheet with important events from the story. You have a maximum of eight boxes only.

READING SELECTION #3: THE WITCH by Edilberto K. Tiempo

CHECKING FOR UNDERSTANDING When and where did the story happen? Who were the characters in the story? How did the problem occur? What was the most interesting or heightened part in the story? Explain. How did the story end? Are you satisfied with the ending? Why or why not? If given the chance, how would you have ended the story?

THE PLOT a literary term defined as the events that make up a story events in a particular sequence through cause and effect, how the reader views the story, or simply by coincidence the interest is in how well this pattern of events accomplishes some artistic or emotional effect may include multiple inferences An intricate, complicated plot is called an imbroglio. (Source: en.Wikipedia.org)

PARTS OF THE PLOT Exposition / Inciting incident – the introduction of the main character/s, setting, and the problem faced Rising action – the “complication” part of the story where the main character attempts to solve his/her problem Climax – the main character solves the problem Falling action – shows the effects of the climax on the main character Denouement [dey-noo-mahn] – the conclusion of the story where the loose ends are tied up

FREYTAG’S PYRAMID

IN CONCLUSION, It is good that you are able to grasp the nitty-gritty part of the story. If you can do that with a simple short story, you should have less difficulty identifying these elements in a novel. You shall have a second assessment on Process and Understanding next meeting. Assignment: Read the handout on (excerpts from the novel) “Below the Crying Mountain” by Criselda Yabes.
