Reader’s Context Have you ever imagined what a new place would be like, only to discover it was not what you expected? Preview the History Connection (page 317) and predict what Zitkala-S¨a’s experiences are likely to be at boarding school.

Analyze Literature

Point of View The vantage point from which a story is told is the point of view. In first-person point of view, the narrator uses pronouns such as I and we and is a part of or witness to the action. As you read this memoir, think about how using the first-person point of view helps the reader to understand the experiences presented.

Key Idea

Literature

Draw Conclusions When you draw conclusions, you gather information from a text to decide what it means. As you read, look for key ideas and supporting points. What conclusions can you draw from this information? Use a chart to track your conclusions.

Cultural Context Until the mid-nineteenth century, the Yankton Sioux hunted buffalo herds across the Great Plains. After the U.S. government forced the Yankton Sioux onto a reservation, they stopped hunting buffalo, but some traditions remained. Zitkala-S¨a’s mother showed her how to find wild turnips, cherries, and plums that grew on the prairie, and how to preserve meat and fruit. Zitkala-S¨a also learned to create beadwork for moccasins, belts, and dresses.

ear comes in many forms but perhaps the worst scare is the one that isn’t anticipated; the one that isn’t really known about until it’s here. A sudden fear. The unexpected. And again, fire played a role in it. We have bear trouble. Because we feed processed meat to the dogs there is always the smell of meat over the kennel. In the summer it can be a bit high1 because the dogs like to “save” their food sometimes for a day or two or four—burying it to dig up later. We live on the edge of wilderness and consequently the meat smell brings any number of visitors from the woods. Skunks abound, and foxes and coyotes and wolves and weasels—all predators.2 We once had an eagle live over the kennel for more than a week, scavenging3 from the dogs, and a crazy group of ravens has pretty much taken over the puppy pen. Ravens are protected by the state and they seem to know it. When I walk toward the puppy pen with the buckets of meat it’s a toss-up to see who gets it—the pups or the birds. They have actually pecked the puppies away from the food pans until they have gone through and taken what they want. Spring, when the bears come, is the worst. They have been in hibernation4

Gary Paulsen was born in 1939 in Minnesota. Paulsen learned to be self-sufficient at an early age, working as a trapper, farmer, soldier, truck driver, sailor, construction worker, field engineer, and magazine editor. When he decided to devote himself to writing, he

BUILD BACKGROUND

USE READING SKILLS

Literary Context “The Teacher Who Changed My Life” is a memoir, or brief autobiography. In the memoir, Gage doesn’t discuss everything that has happened to him so far. Instead, he focuses on a significant event in his life. The word memoir gives a clue to its meaning: Gage examines memorable experiences in his childhood and early adulthood and explains how these events helped shape his life. The title of the memoir indicates that Gage is describing a teacher who influenced him. What do the words “changed my life” suggest about the selection?

Summarize The ability to summarize a piece of writing, or recap its main ideas or events in your own words, is important to a successful reading experience. As you read the excerpt from “The Teacher Who Changed My Life,” use a graphic organizer like the one below to summarize each part of the selection.

Reader’s Context The author makes the statement, “For the first time I began to understand the power of the written word.” What does the “power of the written word” mean to you? What do you think gives the written word its power?

MEET THE AUTHOR Nicholas Gage (b. 1939), born Nikos Gatzoyiannis, lived in a small village in Greece. His mother, Eleni, was killed for sending him and his sisters to join their father in America. With the encouragement of his junior-high teacher, Miss Hurd, he received a scholarship to Boston University and later graduated from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. Gage moved to Athens, Greece, to become a foreign correspondent for the New York Times but later quit and began searching for information about his mother. His experiences became the basis for his book Eleni (1983). Gage, the author of a number of other books, has received several awards for his works.

he person who set the course of my life in the new land I entered as a young war refugee—who, in fact, nearly dragged me onto the path that would bring all the blessings I’ve received in America—was a salty-tongued, no-nonsense schoolteacher named Marjorie Hurd. When I entered her classroom in 1953, I had been to six schools in five years, starting in the Greek village where I was born in 1939.

with the father he didn’t know. My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned, tortured and shot by Communist guerrillas for sending me and three of my four sisters to freedom. She died so that her children could go to their father in the United States. The portly, bald, well-dressed man who met me and my sisters seemed a foreign, authoritarian figure. I secretly resented him for not getting the whole family out of Greece early enough to save my mother. Ultimately, I would grow to love him and appreciate how he dealt with becoming a single parent at the age of 56, but at first our relationship was prickly, full of hostility. As Father drove us to our new home—a tenement1 in Worcester, Massachusetts—and pointed out the huge brick building that would be our first school in America, I clutched my Greek notebooks from the refugee camp, hoping that my few years of schooling would impress my teachers in this cold, crowded country.

Test Practice Workshop Writing Skills

Expository Essay Carefully read the following writing prompt. Before you begin writing, think carefully about what task the assignment is asking you to perform. Then create an outline to help guide your writing. In “Abd al-Rahman Ibrahima,” Walter Dean Myers describes a young man’s journey into slavery. What caused the young son of an African tribal king to become a slave? Why did he decide to return to his “owner” after his escape? What events enabled him to return to Africa? Plan and write several paragraphs for an expository essay in which you state and support a thesis about events that shaped the life of Abd al-Rahman Ibrahima. Use cause-effect organization for your essay. Include evidence from the story, including direct quotations, to support your thesis. As you write, be sure to:

• • • •

Organize your essay in a logical and consistent way Include introductory and concluding paragraphs Introduce your position in the first paragraph Support your main idea in each body paragraph

Revising and Editing Skills In this excerpt from the first draft of a student’s paper, words and phrases are underlined and numbered. Alternatives to the underlined words and phrases appear in the right-hand column. Choose the one that best corrects any grammatical or style errors in the original. If you think that the original is error-free, choose “NO CHANGE.” Some questions might also be asked about a section of the passage or the entire passage. These do not refer to a specific underlined phrase or word and are identified by a number in a box. Record your answers on a separate sheet of paper. Many people today worries more about their own 1 future than about the future of the human race. Where are the explorers like Marco Polo, and 2 Lewis and Clark, who broadened our ideas about our world and other cultures? Where are the scientists like Galileo and Newton who changed the way we think about ourself and the universe? 3 Whole new fields of technology were opened by 4 inventors such as the Wright Brothers and Thomas Edison, but where are their modern counterparts? 5 In childhood, children test the limits of their physical ability and the limits imposed on them by others. Without current examples of explorers and inventors to look up to, many childhood ambitions fade away. By the time they get old enough to work, many of these same people seem content to live inside a tiny world just so they 6 can make a few bucks and “secure their future.”

Name: ____________________________________________________ Date: __________________ Unit 4 Drama

the tragedy of romeo and Juliet, page 504 by William Shakespeare

• Challenging activities based on selections from the Student Edition. • Higher level activities engage critical thinking skills and lead to deeper comprehension. • The thematic focus leads to critical analysis.

activity: theme Study Before you begin reading Romeo and Juliet, use this prereading activity to explore some of the themes in the play. As you read the following statements, check whether you agree or disagree with each one. You must choose one side, even though you may want to choose the middle ground. 1. 2. 3. 4.

The ends justify the means. Young people are in love with the idea of being in love. A man in love makes a poor fighter. Moderate love is more lasting than love that is sudden and passionate. The best intentions often result in tragedy. In an attempt to be compassionate, an authority figure actually hurts those he leads. We are responsible for our own actions. People are victims of fate and have little control over outcomes in their lives. One act of deception always leads to another. Most grief is self-pity. Love will eventually triumph over hate. Young people often must suffer for their parents’ mistakes. Haste and lack of forethought bring about disaster. A real man uses brains instead of brawn to solve his problems. Every negative situation can be used to create good. Arranged marriages are a good way to find your lifelong partner.

When you are certain of your final decisions, fold a piece of paper in half (this will serve as a bookmark). On one side of the paper, write the statement with which you most agree; on the other side, write the one with which you most disagree. As you read Romeo and Juliet, record details and examples (direct quotations or actions) that either support or refute the two statements you have identified. Write a theme analysis essay for Romeo and Juliet, using the information on your paper as support for your chosen theme

If a batter sprays hits, the listener can envision the varied directions the ball will fly, maybe hear the sound of spraying, though this latter may be a stretch since it is not a literal sound. If baseballs fly out like popcorn, the listener can clearly see the lively action of the ball and hear the crack of the bat. (Do listeners also smell popcorn when they hear this line? Maybe not.) In other words, imagery allows the listener, or reader, to fully participate in the description, to become immersed in the world created through the writing. Imagery invites the reader in. Not only does imagery evoke rich sensations for the reader, but it also accomplishes this in an economical fashion. Imagine trying to literally describe shoveling a ball: “the shortstop cupped his hands and with palms up he…” Too many words, too much detail, and the writer loses the beauty of the simple action.

Sample Open Free-Response Question (Question 3)

The Student Edition offers examples of both types of free-response questions, along with guidelines for writing in a timed testing situation.

(Suggested time—40 minutes. This question counts as one-third of the total essay question score.)

The following prompts model the third type of free-response question you will be asked to answer on the exam (often referred to as Question 3). On the actual exam, you will have one question with multiple suggested titles of texts from which to choose. On the exam, you will write about one text only. As you prepare for the AP English Literature and Composition Exam, spend 40 minutes answering each of these prompts. Although these prompts specifically ask you to use Beloved, another way to prepare for the exam is to substitute the title of another text you have studied and determine whether you recall sufficient details and examples from that text to write your critical essay. 1. Select a character from Beloved who demonstrates irrational behavior. In a well-organized essay, analyze

how this behavior can be considered reasonable and relate the behavior to the text as a whole. 2. Choose a character from Beloved who is pulled in conflicting directions. Identify the forces of conflict and

Clearly, the more specific details and examples students have from the text, the more they will be able to incorporate apt and specific references from the text into their essay. Although students should not just rehash the plot, they do want to use details and examples from the text to illustrate and support their assertions.

Grammar Writing

Obviously, the writer of this essay will need to choose which of these three characters he or she would like to use to answer the prompt; all three are strong choices. But, if the writer could not make a connection between being pulled in conflicting directions and a larger thematic significance, then clearly this would not be an ideal text to choose for this question.

Step 3: Completing a Planning Chart Organizing the details, examples, and direct quotations and their relation to theme is the last planning activity before students begin to draft their essay. Specific Incidents at Specific Setting

Direct Quotation from Text
