1. Vocabulary Review 2. Unit 2 Vocabulary Test 3. Oedipus Wrap - Up 4. Study Guide Review HW: Study for Unit Test on Friday Voice Lesson #5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Voice Lesson #5 (Complete in your Source Book and don't forget to update your table of contents) Frantic, Cole struggled to fly, but he couldn’t escape the nest. All he could do was open his beak wide and raise it upward toward the sky, the action a simple admission that he was powerless. There were no conditions, no vices, no lies, no deceit, no manipulation. Only submission and a simple desire to live. He wanted to live, but for that he needed help; otherwise his life would end in the nest. Ben Mikaelsen, Touching Spirit Bear 1.This paragraph from Touching Spirit Bear contains an extended metaphor, a metaphor that continues over several sentences and is developed in several ways. The literal term of this metaphor is Cole, the name of a boy who struggles to survive. What is the figurative term? How do you know? In other words, what evidence can you find in the paragraph that supports your understanding of the figurative term of the metaphor? 2.The figurative term of this metaphor is never directly stated. How would the impact of this paragraph change if Mikaelsen had written it like this? Frantic, Cole was like a little bird struggling to fly, but he couldn’t do it. Like a baby bird he was powerless. There were no conditions, no vices, no lies, no deceit, no manipulation. Only submission and a simple desire to live. He wanted to live, but for that he needed help: otherwise his life would end. Your turn: Write an extended, implied metaphor like Mikaelsen’s. Picture a man eating with very poor manners at a party. Your literal term should be the man’s name (make up a name). Your figurative term is shark. However, don’t state that your person eats like a shark. Instead, compare the man to a shark by giving him the actions of a shark, implying that he eats like a shark. Write a least two sentences to extend the metaphor. Agenda
