“The Scarlet Ibis” By: James Hurst

Allusion A reference to some person, historical event, literature, work of art, Bible, etc.  Her smile was that of the Mona Lisa, distant and insecure.  This vacation is like Eden (paradise).

Practice! “Don’t act like a Romeo in front of her.” The rise in poverty will unlock the Pandora’s box of crimes “This place is like a Garden of Eden.” “Hey! Guess who the new Newton of our school is?”

Denotation Dictionary meaning of the word

Practice! Serene – calm, peaceful, or tranquil Prim – formally precise or proper, as persons or behavior Solder – to join closely and intimately

Connotation The social/emotional meaning attached to the word

Practice! Serene Prim Solder

Characterization A method in which the author uses to develop the characters (bring them to live). – Direct Characterization (Personality and physical traits are explicitly described) – Indirect Characterization (developed through the thoughts, actions, words & dialogue, and interactions with others)

Conflict A struggle between two or more opposing forces. – Internal (Man vs Self) – External (Man vs man, society, nature, etc.)

Diction The author’s choice of words. – The young boy “says” – The young boy “exclaimed”

Imagery Description words used to paint a picture in the reader’s mind (involves the five senses)

Pick out the Imagery! The snow fluttered down from the clouds like down feathers from a pillow fight lightly, gently layering a mystical frosted path and giving my nose a frosty, chilled sensation.

Theme The central and unifying idea about human experience that grows out of all the other elements of the short story. *This Message is more than one word*

Tone The author’s attitude, stated or implied, toward the subject or audience – Formal or informal, serious or playful, etc.

Irony 1. Verbal - When statements are made that contrast what is actually meant 2. Situational -The contradiction between what is expected to happen and what actually does happen 3. Dramatic -The audience knows more about the events than the characters know

Foreshadowing Use of hints and details that predict events

Symbol Something that represents or stands for something else larger than itself

Bell Ringer In the early 1900s, TV and radio have not been invented; cars and phones are scarce. What would you do for entertainment?
