  1. Bell Ringer 10/1 • Please get out Journal Entry #4 so that I can check it.

  2. English III • EQ: How do the images, symbols, motifs, and title of The Catcher in the Rye aid in the development of several themes within the novel? • Agenda • Bell Ringer: Journal Entry #4 On-Time Check • Agenda/EQ • Images, Symbols, and Motifs Notes • Answering Part B • Analyzing Images, Symbols, and Motifs • Connecting to Themes (Theme Inventory)

  3. Images, Symbols, Motifs • Images: Word or phrase that creates pictures in the reader’s mind or suggests special impressions. Images can be visual or sensual – smell, taste, touch, color, sound, etc. • Symbols: An image, person, place, or thing which also represents something larger or more abstract, in the way that a flag symbolizes a country. • Motifs: A recurring pattern of a feature – object, image, symbol – in a literary work

  4. Images, Symbols, Motifs • Images • Ackley’s teeth and nails • Not necessarily symbolic b/c it doesn’t represent something larger than Ackley • Symbols • The carrousel that Phoebe rides • Represents the cyclical nature of things • Motifs • Holden’s continued interest in the ducks in the park recurs several times throughout the novel • This Motif could also be symbolic: What can nature show us of change and adaptation, or, is nature, like the carrousel, also cyclical?

  5. Images, Symbols, Motifs: Part B • Images, symbols, and motifs are used by writers: • To focus attention on what the writer wants a reader to notice • To create interior patterns within the literary work • To lend continuity • To create emphasis • To create a structural unity • To add texture to the prose

  6. Images, Symbols, Motifs • Get out your Theme Inventory • Compare both your Theme Inventory and the activity we just completed • Which images, symbols, or motifs could support which themes? • In the bottom margin of Handout 10, list 2 themes from the Theme Inventory. • Underneath each theme, list theme images, symbols, or motifs that could support that theme.
