Which line from the poem conveys the speaker's
hopelessness?

proper punctuation for "With her mortarboard firmly on her head Tammy, took her place in the graduation procession which was held on May 12 2009. She told her mother Louisa that she wanted to be the first in the family to get a college degree which would also help her get a good job. In her mind either you could get a degree after high school or you could get a degree later but eventually everyone in the United States would need a college degree. When the chance came for her to go to college, and pay for most of it herself she decided it was a chance she could not afford to pass up. Each course she took in her ambitious undergraduate curriculum was another triumph for her. Another 15 weeks of reading staying up late at night writing studying and sitting at uncomfortable desks never scared Tammy. As she marched off the stage Tammy clutched the diploma in one hand, and hurled her mortarboard into the crowd with the other. She yelled “Yes! I made it!” When she got through the crowd and reached her family she screamed “Mom I did it!” "

What is a Metaphor?

Objectives:

Understand the concept of a metaphor

Identify metaphors in a reading selection

The metaphor states a fact or draws a verbal picture by the use of comparison.

x
Metaphors enliven ordinary language. Creative writers use metaphors as an efficient and economical way to use words, and also as a way to describe subjects and feelings that are complex. By writing "The sun was a diamond in the sky," the writer suggests that the sun is brilliant, shining, sparkling, and many more things that may take up more lines to describe in detail. Let's look at these metaphors;

"This room is an oven!" "Am I saying that this room is actually an oven?" No, I probably mean that the room is too hot.

"The motorcycle was an angry, snarling animal." The sounds and the movement of a motorcycle can remind us of an angry animal.

"Tom was a pig during lunch." I probably mean that Tom ate every bit of his food or he made funny noises while he ate all of his food.

Recall that a simile would say you are like something; a metaphor is more positive - it says you are something.

Example: You are what you eat.

Activity #1

What are metaphors and how are they used in literature? What makes a metaphor effective?

Metaphors utilize the image of one subject as if it were analogous to another, seemingly unrelated, subject. Figures of speech, such as saying someone is "green" to mean that they are new at something, are often metaphors.

x

Read the following poem, Dreams, by Langston Hughes. Can you identify a metaphor in the poem?

x

Dreams by Langston Hughes

x

Hold fast to dreams

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly.

x

Hold fast to dreams

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field

Frozen with snow.

x

The poem contains structurally simple metaphors which follow the formula a is b. These can be found in both stanzas. The first contains this line:

Life is a broken-winged bird

While the second stanza contains the following line:

Life is a barren field

x

Think about these questions and keep the notes. You will submit these at the end of the lesson.

What is this metaphor referring to in this poem?

How do these metaphors work in relation to the poem's title, "Dreams?"

How is this description different from saying simply that when dreams are unfulfilled life is difficult?

How is it different from saying that a life without dreams is like a broken-winged bird? Would using a simile rather than a metaphor negate or weaken Hughes' poem?

What makes this an effective metaphor and why?

Activity #2

Read the following poem, You Begin, by Margaret Atwood.

x

You Begin

by Margaret Atwood

You begin this way:

this is your hand,

this is your eye,

that is a fish, blue and flat

on the paper, almost

the shape of an eye.

This is your mouth, this is an O

or a moon, whichever

you like. This is yellow.

x

Outside the window

is the rain, green

because it is summer, and beyond that

the trees and then the world,

which is round and has only

the colors of these nine crayons.

x

This is the world, which is fuller

and more difficult to learn than I have said.

You are right to smudge it that way

with the red and then

the orange: the world burns.

x

Once you have learned these words

you will learn that there are more

words than you can ever learn.

The word hand floats above your hand

like a small cloud over a lake.

The word hand anchors

your hand to this table,

your hand is a warm stone

I hold between two words.

x

This is your hand, these are my hands, this is the world,

which is round but not flat and has more colors

than we can see.

x

It begins, it has an end,

this is what you will

come back to, this is your hand.

x

The end

x

Concentrate on the following stanza:

Once you have learned these words
you will learn that there are more
words than you can ever learn.
The word hand floats above your hand
like a small cloud over a lake.
The word hand anchors
your hand to this table,
your hand is a warm stone
I hold between two words.

x

Think about these questions and keep the notes. You will submit your answers at the end of the lesson.

What does the cloud in the simile represent?

What does the warm stone signify? Is it only the child's hand?

How is this description different from saying simply that the hand is warm?

How is this description different from saying the hand is like a warm stone?

Is this an effective metaphor? Why or why not?

In any piece of literature, a character’s tone of voice is usually described by the author after their piece of dialogue. Why do you think this detail is important for understanding the story? Without dialogue inflections, do you think a reader would be able to understand more or less about the characters and their moods in certain situations? Why?

BOOK ONE: THE COMING OF THE MARTIANS
CHAPTER ONE: THE EVE OF THE WAR, excerpt

No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. And early in the twentieth century came the great disillusionment.

Yet so vain is man, and so blinded by his vanity, that no writer, up to the very end of the nineteenth century, expressed any idea that intelligent life might have developed there far, or indeed at all, beyond its earthly level. Nor was it generally understood that since Mars is older than our earth, with scarcely a quarter of the superficial area and remoter from the sun, it necessarily follows that it is not only more distant from time's beginning but nearer its end.

The secular cooling that must someday overtake our planet has already gone far indeed with our neighbour. Its physical condition is still largely a mystery, but we know now that even in its equatorial region the midday temperature barely approaches that of our coldest winter. Its air is much more attenuated than ours, its oceans have shrunk until they cover but a third of its surface, and as its slow seasons change huge snowcaps gather and melt about either pole and periodically inundate its temperate zones. That last stage of exhaustion, which to us is still incredibly remote, has become a present-day problem for the inhabitants of Mars. The immediate pressure of necessity has brightened their intellects, enlarged their powers, and hardened their hearts. And looking across space with instruments, and intelligences such as we have scarcely dreamed of, they see, at its nearest distance only 35,000,000 of miles sunward of them, a morning star of hope, our own warmer planet, green with vegetation and grey with water, with a cloudy atmosphere eloquent of fertility, with glimpses through its drifting cloud wisps of broad stretches of populous country and narrow, navy-crowded seas.

And we men, the creatures who inhabit this earth, must be to them at least as alien and lowly as are the monkeys and lemurs to us. The intellectual side of man already admits that life is an incessant struggle for existence, and it would seem that this too is the belief of the minds upon Mars. Their world is far gone in its cooling and this world is still crowded with life, but crowded only with what they regard as inferior animals. To carry warfare sunward is, indeed, their only escape from the destruction that, generation after generation, creeps upon them.

In three to five complete sentences, explain why the inhabitants of Mars are interested in Earth. Use information from the text to support your answer.

What is the best comparison of the narration style in
the original version and the adaptation?
Both share a stream-of-consciousness style of
narration, but in the adaptation, the story is being
narrated by another character.

omniscient narrator, and the original text contains the
plot elements of a more traditional narrative.
The original text has a stream-of-consciousness
style of narration, and events in the adaptation are
told in chronological order.
The original text is narrated by a third-person
limited-omniscient narrator, but the adaptation is
narrated by a third-person objective narrator.

Determined not to let my knees tremble, I forced myself up the steps to the room where I had been directed. I knocked on the door. No one answered, so I opened it.


As the door swung open, I saw a round table filled with high-ranking Nazis. Their caps were on the table, and in the middle of the table was a radio. The radio was playing an English broadcast. Right away, I recognized the BBC.


All their eyes burned into me. I realized that I had accidentally witnessed them committing a crime of treason, for which the penalty was death. I knew they would do with me what they would, so I had nothing more to lose. "Who is in charge?" I asked.
