Happy Groundhog Day! February 2nd

You have already examined one of the characteristics of Sacred Literature by recognizing the instructional purpose. Now we are going to dig into the literary value/purpose of the text.
You will need to pick ONE ANALECT from the text that you worked with for Wednesday. Of this Analect, you will ask the two following questions: 1. What recognizable human experiences are portrayed in this text? (Look to the figurative/underlying purpose) 2. What is the artistic style of the passage? What use does the passage make of literary techniques like metaphor, simile, diction and a multitude of other literary devices? (Terms) You will need to pick five literary terms from our expansive list to explain their presence and purpose in the Analect. Upload a Google Document with proper MLA format. You will also need to put the works cited information at the bottom of your writing. It is a work from an anthology. Please reference the OWL.

Reading for Friday: 612-621... get started. You will have some time on Friday to finish.
