After round 2 of vocab experts, we spent the majority of the hour over-analyzing a passage from The Great Gatsby featuring everyone's vain buffoon Tom. As over-analyzed in class, we focused on dialogue, descriptive adjectives and adverbs, physicality, and other character interactions to piece together the characterization of Tom.
Tomorrow is the literary analysis diagnostic prompt, which you will use your close reading of "The Birthmark" to write an incredible essay. With this short story, there are so many avenues of analysis, you have too many options, so make make sure that you are focus your analysis on 2-3 items and not try to bring in every characterization or literary device you find.
*For the prompt tomorrow, you are allowed to use your close read of the passage (highlighting and notes) as assigned. You will not be allowed to use prewritten paragraphs or a full essay. Happy writings tomorrow!
