Please get into groups of 2-3 and read pages 14-16, the short story "The Summer Night."
After you read, please examine and discuss the following:
1. What literary devices is Bradbury using in the 1st paragraph? What is the effect of this device on the meaning or flow of the story.
2. What specific words create tone in the first paragraph? What is that tone?
3. Look at the first 20 lines. Identify the pattern of sentences Bradbury is using (sentences can be simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex.)
4. The two italicized poetry sections are allusions. What do they allude to? How does Bradbury use allusion to make a statement about his theme or main point?
5. What kind of ending does Bradbury give us at the end of the story? Why do you think he chose that kind?
Complete these 5 ?'s (with your groups) and turn in for participation credit by the end of period 7.
FORUM POST: Please answer the question on the forum during today's class.
