Homework: 1/19-1/23

Your independent work for the week consists of locating 10 examples of literary devices used in Golding's The Lord of the Flies.

• Note: You are looking for ten different devices; you cannot simply find ten examples of asyndeton.

Look for examples of these devices:

1. Asyndeton
2. Polysyndeton
3. Allegory
4. Chiasmus
5. Didactic
6. Pedantic
7. Aphorism
8. Analogy
9. Invective
10. Anaphora
11. Synecdoche
12. Allusion
13. Homily
14. Apostrophe
15. Hypophora
16. Litotes
17. Pun

I suggest picking a chapter and engaging in some close reading. Chapters 7 and 8 will likely be particularly ripe for the picking, as they are filled with symbolism and figurative language.

You need to include a quote from the novel, and a brief explanation as to what device is used. Here is a sample (Yes, you may steal it.):

Asyndeton

Chapter 12: "Cry of the Hunters" - "He shot forward, burst the thicket, was in the open, screaming, snarling, bloody."

No conjunctions are used to emphasize Ralph's frantic behavior and mindset.

• Your list of ten is due Friday, 1/23.

Regarding Star Trek and the upcoming essay prompt: If you are not a fan of classic, 1960's television science fiction, please feel free to watch this film instead. You can use it as an example for the fore-coming writing task.
