Irony and Allegory Definitions for Forsberg

Get these in your notebook:

Dramatic irony is when an audience perceives something that a character in the literature does not know.

Allegory is a form of extended metaphor, in which objects, persons, and actions in a narrative, are equated with the meanings that lie outside the narrative itself. The underlying meaning has moral, social, religious, or political significance.

Final Test The Things They Carried

Hey Folks,
The final grades are entered for the test.
It's quite apparent that some students did not read the book, that some students did not read the book carefully, and that some students did just fine!

Grades on the test ranged from the high 20s to 60 points out of 64 points--with five "free spots"!

Monday, May 19th-Friday, May 23rd--Forsberg.

Monday--Final test.
"A" Day--we will be working on a poem from the text--look for strong images (nouns and verbs are your best bet) that you can use for capturing an image to create a poem.
Film Text: The War--annotate to be able to compare and contrast theme to The Things They Carried. What does it say about story? About truth? About postmodernism?
"B" Day-- Film and annotation. Poem work if time.
Friday--Finish film--prepare for discussion. Polish poems.

Monday, May 19th

Final test on Things Fall Apart.
About 65 multiple choice questions.
Bring you book to turn in.

Make Up Discussion

If you miss the graded discussion on "B" day in Forsberg's class, you will be able to come in at 3:30 on Friday, May 16th to make it up! I have meetings until that time.
