5/9/16 Monday Agenda
You should have a Frankenstein text from the library with you today and with you for every English class period until finals. Please don't forget your text. Bring it to class everyday!
GOTHIC COMPARISONS
Popular in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Gothic novels are
characterized by the use of intense emotion, the characterization of nature as a powerful
and destructive force, the use of weather and atmosphere to depict mood, and the
evocation of terror and horror. The survival of the gothic tradition can be seen in modern
movie monsters such as Nightmare on Elm Street’s Freddy Kruger and Silence of the Lambs’s
Hannibal Lecter. To initiate a discussion of Gothicism, watch the video recording of Michael
Jackson’s hit, Thriller.
MJ's Thriller
Please answer the following questions on binder paper and then compare your responses with your elbow partner.
Title your paper: Gothic Discussion Questions
Gothic Discussion Questions:
1. What is it in human nature that attracts us to Gothic tales?
2. Can you think of any previously read titles that are Gothic in nature? (Think back to Freshman year and you might recall an Edgar Allan Poe tale such as The Cask of Amontillado).
3. Define Romanticism:
4. Compare/contrast Romanticism and Gothic-ism. Frankenstein blends elements of both genres. You may want to answer this question in the form of a double-bubble or Venn-diagram.
Explanation about how we will read Frankenstein
What is our FINAL for this class?
I have posted all of the Literary terms with definitions that we have studied this year. You will take a final exam on these Literary Terms.

Explanation about how we will read Frankenstein
- You are not responsible to take notes while you read
- You are not responsible to answer discussion questions or to take quizzes on each chapter
- You ARE responsible for doing two to three "CLOSE" readings of excerpts from the assigned chapters to prepare you for the AP exams that you will be exposed to next year.
- Frankenstein has 198 pages total and we only have 4 weeks to read the text. I have organized the reading so you will have to read about 50 pages per week at 10-15 pages per night including one chapter over the weekend to stay on schedule.
- Please do not fall behind on your reading during these last 4 weeks.

Literature Analysis Questions
Please answer the following questions about the book you selected.
Make sure to provide appropriate examples to support your ideas
Author/Title
1. Author
2. Title
3. Genre
4. Historical information about the period of publication (if applicable)
Looking Closer at Character
1. Five fun facts about the character
2. Three questions you would like to ask this character
3. What would the character recommend you read? Why?
4. Describe two examples of direct characterization and two examples of indirect characterization. Why does the author use both approaches, and to what end (i.e. what is your lasting impression of the character as a result)?
5. After reading the book did you come away feeling like you’d met a person or read a character? Analyze one textual example that illustrates your reaction.
Meeting the Author
1. If you could meet the author, three questions you would ask the author? Why?
2. What gift would you give the author? (Think of something that would be meaningful to them).
3. A picture of the author and an image that reflects their accomplishments; things they are known for, era, etc.
Tone
1. Describe the author’s tone. Include a minimum of three excerpts that illustrate your point(s).
Creating your own analysis of the novel
1. Identify a question about the book that could drive a paper. For example, what was the author trying to accomplish in writing this novel? Why? Why does the author use such complex characters and what purpose does it serve? In the end, did Beckett shape my views on man’s purpose? Does Beckett really accomplish anything? Etc....
2. Create a thesis about the novel (answer the questions above). Another way to create a thesis is to analyze the development of a theme. Remember there is a difference between a motif and a thesis. A motif is one or two words that cover the topic or topics of the novel, a theme stretches the motif into a statement that can be applied to the outside world. For example, in the novel Lord of the Flies a theme could be: Morally acceptable behavior is a social construct that is determined by those in power. This theme would serve as your thesis.

3. Memorize your part of the dialogue from "A Doll's House for the Dialogue presentations that are due on Thursday May 5th and Friday May 6th.

1. Describe the author’s tone. Include a minimum of three excerpts that illustrate your point(s).
Creating your own analysis of the novel
1. Identify a question about the book that could drive a paper. For example, what was the author trying to accomplish in writing this novel? Why? Why does the author use such complex characters and what purpose does it serve? In the end, did Beckett shape my views on man’s purpose? Does Beckett really accomplish anything? Etc....
2. Create a thesis about the novel (answer the questions above). Another way to create a thesis is to analyze the development of a theme. Remember there is a difference between a motif and a thesis. A motif is one or two words that cover the topic or topics of the novel, a theme stretches the motif into a statement that can be applied to the outside world. For example, in the novel Lord of the Flies a theme could be: Morally acceptable behavior is a social construct that is determined by those in power. This theme would serve as your thesis.
3. Memorize your part of the dialogue from "A Doll's House for the Dialogue presentations that are due on Thursday May 5th and Friday May 6th.
