Today we are continuing to read The Pearl. You should be in the mid-20's page-wise by today.
We discussed characterization and motif, and found the best examples of each using Socrative.
Motif: a repeating image or idea that occurs throughout a story. In today's class, we noted how the village's songs keep repeating throughout. When Kino is thinking about his family, The Song of Family plays in his head, when something threatening or bad happens, The Song of Evil plays in his head.
Homework: none.
