Standard 01-30-2014

Remember that the parallel structure assignment is due tomorrow.  You need to have the proper heading along with a good example of parallel structure.  The source should be clearly identified.  You also need to clearly explain why the example you share is indeed parallel structure.  Do not just say that it is items in a series.  Instead, explain why its structure makes it a good example of parallel structure.

We continued our theme study by finalizing themes from "Gil's Furniture" and the "Friendship" poem: Items with sentimental value can be priceless. We discussed how the theme in the poem was constructed through comparison and the theme from the short story was demonstrated through actions and dialogue.  We are picking up the idea again in "The Treasure of Lemon Brown".   We'll look at characterizations, figurative language, setting and, of course, theme.  I'll demonstrate what I expect initially but then I'll set you off into groups.  It's a good story.  I hope you like it.

See you soon.
