  26. Character Activity • Get into groups • You will be assigned a character from The Outsiders • You will create a poster that contains the following information about your character: • Physical characteristics • Personality traits • Relationship to other characters • Any other relevant information about your character • Pictures or drawings to help “show” who your character is Tomorrow we will share our posters with the class!

  27. Assignment to write in your notebook: How is the character that you identified similar to or different from you? Does he/she remind you of someone you know?

  28. Assignment to write in your notebook: Application to your life Write about a particular event that has impacted your life and shaped who you are. (experience, injury, death, trial, etc.)

  29. Free write: • Why do you think Johnny killed Bob? Do you think you would have reacted differently? • If you were Ponyboy and Johnny, whom would you turn to for help? Why do you think they went to Dally?

  30. Figurative Language • Figurative language is used to make writing more interesting and meaningful to the reader. • A metaphor is a type of figurative language

  31. Metaphor • States that one thing is another, and makes a comparison between two unlike things. • “His eyes were blue, blazing ice…” • Dally’s eyes are being compared to ice because he looks at people coldly and with hate.

  32. Metaphor examples: • “Her words were sugar” is a metaphor. Her words are being compared to sugar. What is being said about her words?

  33. 2.“It’s raining cats and dogs.” The rain is being compared to cats and dogs. What is being said about the rain?

  34. 3. “He is my fortress”. To what is “He” being compared? What is being said about him?

  35. “Nothing Gold Can Stay”by Robert Frost • Frost uses the metaphor to communicate his message about young people. • He begins by writing that nature’s first green, things such as new plants, trees, grass, and especially young people, are gold.

  36. “Nothing Gold Can Stay”by Robert Frost Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief. So dawn goes down to day, Nothing gold can stay.

  37. “Nothing Gold Can Stay”: Gold is a precious, and expensive, metal. What comparison can be made between “nature’s first green” and gold?

  38. Another metaphor in Frost’s poem is “Her early leaf’s a flower.” Explain how nature’s “early leaf,” or someone’s youth, can be like a flower.

  39. How is the youth of someone’s life “gold”?
