TODAY IN CLASS
Building on the religious and mythological allusions in the dawn scene at Talbothays, students worked in pairs to write a thesis statement for a passage analysis that would assign essential function to the passage as well as to indicate the primary devices.  We looked at those on the overhead and discussed differences.  In 1st we began looking at additional features of the passage; in 5th we didn't quite get there.

FOR TOMORROW
Review Phase the Fourth and Phase the Fifth by isolating what seem to YOU to be extremely significant quotes.  Remember that in a novel, a "quote" does not have to be what a character says--it can certainly include the author's narrative voice as well.

Find THREE significant quotations for each of these phases (4th and 5th).  Write them down or type them out; include the page numbers in your edition simply for easier reference later.  Be prepared to provide reasons for the centrality of the quotation, but you do NOT need to defend them in writing.
