Flat Laila visits her friend in Tennessee and they go on a tour of Nashville. They visit the Parthenon, an exact replica of the original, and see the large statue of Athena inside. They also ride bikes to the Farmer's Market for lunch. Later, they see the state flag and fountain at the Bicentennial Mall and the State Capitol building. They return to Paris, Tennessee, known for its annual World's Biggest Fish Fry festival. Finally, Flat Laila helps out at her friend's school before returning home to get rest, as she has a trip to Michigan the next day.
The document provides definitions and examples of several literary terms including:
- Foil, which is a character that contrasts with the main character to highlight their qualities.
- Confidante, a character the main protagonist confides in to reveal facts and feelings.
- Denouement, which means resolution and is a fancier word for the ending or conclusion of a plot.
- Stage directions in plays that tell actors what to do and where to stand.
- Dialogue, monologue, soliloquy, and aside which refer to different types of character speech and interactions in literary works.
This document defines and provides examples of common literary terms including: flashback, allusion, foreshadowing, mood, tone, symbolism, allegory, satire, parody, parable, fable, theme, paradox, archetype. Flashbacks refer to memories from the past important to the plot. Allusions reference well-known works or people. Foreshadowing hints at future events. Mood and tone describe the feeling and way a story is conveyed. Symbolism uses one thing to represent another. Allegories represent other ideas throughout the story. Satire and parody are used for ridicule or mockery. Parables and fables convey short lessons using stories. Themes represent the overall meaning. Paradox
This document provides examples to distinguish between commonly confused word pairs in English. It gives sentence examples showing the correct context for each word. Brief tips and reminders are included to help remember when to use each word. The focus is on helping students improve their writing and performance on standardized tests like the EOC exam by knowing the precise meaning of similar-sounding words.
The document discusses the differences between quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing source material. Quotes must match the original word-for-word, while paraphrasing puts the source into one's own words and summarizing distills the main idea into a shorter overview. All require attribution to the original author. The document then provides guidance on how to properly quote, paraphrase, and summarize through reading comprehension and avoiding plagiarism.
The document discusses the origins and key elements of rhetoric according to the ancient Greeks. It specifically outlines Aristotle's three pillars of rhetoric - ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos refers to establishing credibility and authority with an audience. Pathos involves appealing to emotions. Logos is using sound reasoning and logic to make arguments. The document then explains various rhetorical devices like rhetorical questions, repetition, metaphors, analogies, and others that can help enhance rhetoric when used effectively.
This document discusses different text structures used to organize information, including chronological, sequential, cause/effect, problem/solution, compare/contrast, and proposition/support structures. Each structure is explained along with an example graphic organizer to illustrate how it organizes information. The document also provides steps for identifying a text's structure as a reader and for choosing and creating a structure as a writer.

This document provides instructions for students to analyze chapters from Mary Rowlandson's captivity narrative. Students will be assigned to groups and each group will analyze a different "Remove", or chapter. For their assigned Remove, students are to chart the key events, Rowlandson's descriptions of Native Americans, her feelings toward them, references to God's mercy and protection, and references to scripture as comfort. They will cite evidence from the text to support their analysis. The document encourages students to carefully read the instructions and text, discuss it with their group members, and ask the teacher for guidance if needed.
Native American myths and legends served several purposes: (1) to explain mysteries like creation, (2) to describe the natural world, and (3) to teach moral and ethical lessons that reinforced cultural customs. They were part of an oral tradition and featured supernatural elements as well as trickster figures. Native American literature had no separation of the spiritual and physical worlds and placed importance on animals, ancestors, and culture.

This document discusses different ways that authors characterize characters in stories. Direct characterization involves the author directly stating attributes of a character. Indirect characterization involves learning about a character through their dialogue, thoughts, and actions within the story. Both direct and indirect characterization provide the same information about a character, but indirect characterization allows the reader to discover details through the narrative rather than being directly told.
Round characters are complex and well developed, allowing readers to understand their perspective. Flat characters are simplistic and only serve supporting roles. Characters are either round or flat but not both. Dynamic characters undergo fundamental internal changes due to story events, while static characters remain unchanged. Characters can be either round/flat and static/dynamic, occupying one category in each binary.
The document is a short story by Alice Walker called "Everyday Use". It describes a mother named Momma and her two daughters, Maggie and Dee, who now goes by Wangero. Wangero returns home wanting valuable quilts made by her grandmother and aunt that are currently being used by Momma and Maggie. However, Wangero wants the quilts to hang on her wall and not be used as intended. This foreshadows that Wangero does not fully understand or appreciate her family's heritage and culture in the same way as her mother and sister.
The document outlines the classic plot line structure that many books, movies, and stories follow. It includes the main stages of exposition to establish characters and setting, the central conflict that drives the narrative, a rising action as tensions increase, a climax peak moment, falling action as issues become clearer, and a resolution that wraps up the central conflict.
