Thursday, August 24th

1. You have just finished your first quiz. I would suggest looking back in your notes and make sure that your notes are complete... and highlight/mark the information that was covered on the quiz. Remember, we are building a foundation.

2.  To continue our thoughts and reflections upon GRIT, we will be watching a documentary on Louis Zamperini as we start our work with Unbroken today:  Zamperini Documentary

3. We have been examining the concepts of FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE. (reviewing the definition.. looking at certain aphorism examples and examining their meanings..... relating to these meanings... and then identifying, on your own, examples of impact of Figurative Language).  NOW... we are going to be looking for examples of figurative language in Unbroken..

For Friday.. in your notes... you need to make a rather large list of figurative language in Unbroken. Think of it as if you are looking for treasure.. hunting and gathering. Please put a list of the quotes in your notes. Remember to have citation in your notes (it will help you also find them later).

"Figurative language direct quote from the text" (Hillenbrand 34).

To give you a place to start looking...  Think of when Hillenbrand would use figurative language? What situations? Where are we to look at plot events much deeper? What is Hillenbrand teaching us? Why would the text implicitly reference versus explicitly state?
