Do any of the characters change? Explain. (Unsupported responses not accepted.) 4. Look again at Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily," and answer these questions: Who tells the story in "A Rose for Emily?" How would you characterize the narrator--an outside observer or an important character(s) in the story?

Such language is not always necessary to find meaning in a story; however, using literary terms often helps to uncover deeper layers of meaning, to consider the author's intent, and to study the author's craft. POINT OF VIEW This week we will look at point of view (pov). Point of view refers to the narrator of the story, who is telling the story whether a character in the story or an outside observer. In first person point of view, the narrator, who may be a major or minor character, uses I or we to tell the story. The narrator may be limited (his or her view alone) or omniscient (all of the characters' experiences). In third person point of view an outsider who may but does not participate in the action tells the story using he, she, it, or they. Story tellers choose from several types of third-person point of view, as listed below. Participant and non-participant points of view, along with innocent eye, neutral omniscient, editorial omniscience, selective omniscience, stream-of-consciousness and objective point of view, all of which are defined on these pages, are terms to become familiar with. 1.

Literary devices are structures used by writers to convey messages and themes in their works. There are two main types: literary elements which are inherent parts of stories like characters and plot, and literary techniques like metaphor and simile which writers employ purposefully. Common literary elements include plot, which is the sequence of events; point of view, which is the perspective; setting, which is the time and place; characters; and theme, which is the central idea. Common literary techniques include imagery, simile, metaphor, personification, irony, and symbolism. These devices help readers to better understand, analyze, and appreciate literary works.

Reaction Paper # 2—After reading this week’s notes Reading Fi.docx

Reaction Paper # 2—After reading this week’s notes “Reading Fiction” and “Graduation” by Maya Angelou, complete reaction paper 2 as described below. Discussed in the notes this week are 6 elements of fiction: Tone, Plot, Characterization, Setting, Theme and Point of View. Choose one element (other than POV) and reflect on how Angelou uses it in her writing. Give specific examples and quotes from the text to show how she uses the element and its effect on the story. Be sure to quote correctly (using quotation marks and providing paragraph #s). Remember that reaction papers should be 1-2 pages, double-spaced. Below is a brief sample of how to discuss one of the elements with examples from the text. The example discusses the use of point of view in the story: Maya Angelou’s story “Graduation,” is told from first-person point of view, told through the main character, Marguerite Johnson. Although it is not yet clear who the narrator is within the first 5 paragraphs, in paragraph 6 Angelou writes, “In the Store I was the person of the moment.” Thus, we are introduced to the narrator of the story. The rest of the story uses pronouns such as we, me, my which solidifies the narrator’s point of view. Hearing the story unfold from first-person POV gives credibility to the theme of the story. Maguerite Johnson is one of the graduates excited to be graduating, and is present at every point of the story—from the events leading up to the day, the events during the ceremony, and her feelings about what has occurred. In paragraph 7, she tells us, “My class was wearing buttery-yellow piqué dresses, and Momma launched out mine.” She goes on to describe the expert way her mother crafted her dress. It is clear from all of her descriptions that she, her family and the community looked toward the day with great anticipation, even though as the narrator states, “I was only twelve years old and merely graduating from the eighth grade” (paragraph 8). She goes on to explain that many teachers in the Arkansas Negro schools had the same diploma but were able to teach. This shows that at the time, an eighth-grade graduation was quite an achievement which could lead to possible (anticipated) professions… (continued) Reading Fiction Fiction creates imaginary worlds by telling stories written in prose (ordinary, unrhymed language) about realistic characters, set in physical environments, and with attention to descriptive detail. Works of fiction narrate, or tell stories. Narrative is not specific to fiction or to any other literary genre. Telling stories pervades almost every aspect of our daily lives. We learn very early on how to recognize and tell stories, and we rely heavily on narrative to organize and make sense of our experience. Even in our sleep, we tell stories in the form of dreams. It is impossible to imagine our lives without these narratives; in fact, every culture uses them to order a ...
