  2. Divisions of Labour THE PLOT THICKENS A couple of team members should present an outline, graphic or otherwise, which shows the significant incidents essential to the plot. Think of the relationship between sections of the story, particularly important complications and their overall impact. ROGUE’S GALLERY Two or three members of the team should explore and present the main characters and their relationships to one another. Support for conclusions should be presented. It might be an idea to actually do some sketches or use multi-media to aid your explanation. ABSTRACTIONS Probably the entire team will need to consult on this part of the project. In this area, it is important to concentrate on the symbols, metaphors, allusions and other figurative devices which take on important meaning in the book. WHAT’S THE BIG IDEA? A few team members will want to spearhead this discussion. It is likely that a number of ideas will emerge as items for sharing with the entire class. Significant portions will point the way to some of these issues. Connecting these ideas to outside references would work very well. TIMES & PLACES It is important to examine the setting and the manners of the culture developed in the narrative. Maps and other representations might be helpful for this sub-task.

  3. When exploring CHARACTER in a piece of literature, it is important to consider the following elements: • The physical aspects of the individual • His situation (job, family, state of mind) • Significant actions • Important thoughts/statements • What others say about the character • His motivation and desires • Strengths and weaknesses • Changes throughout the story (if any) • A symbol Rogue’s Gallery (Character) You might also consider the impact of other major and minor characters on the individual. Is he realistic or stereotyped?

  4. As the sequence of events in the novel, here you are exploring significant episodes in the story, including the major conflicts. Consider the basic structure: • The exposition • Initial incident (or inciting force) • Important complications • The climax • The denouement/resolution The Plot Thickens (Plot and Conflict) Explore important conflicts throughout the story, and their impact upon the protagonist. Also, examine how the author arouses curiosity and creates suspense through techniques like foreshadowing. Is the story ultimately resolved?

  5. The setting consists of the time, the place, the overall mood, and the manners of the culture within the story. It will be imperative to closely analyze the following aspects of setting: • The breakdown of this world • A short synopsis of what has created this world • The various divisions of people • The significance of the time • The sub-locales of this world • The predominant atmosphere It would be very effective here to incorporate maps and multi-media to paint a picture of this world. What key words and phrases create the overall atmosphere of the novel? Times & Places (Setting)

  6. To determine the theme of a novel, one must first wrestle with what subjects the author seems to be exploring. You will then have to explain what the author seems to be saying about these subjects. Consider these questions: • What universal truths are presented? • Is the author’s end message hopeful or bleak? • How does the author best imply his message? • Does the title have significance? • Are there recurring images that add to the • understanding of the theme? • Is there a line of text that BEST • summarizes the central insight of the book? The Big Idea (Theme)

  7. Authors will often incorporate devices within the text such as similes, metaphors, symbols and allusions to add overall meaning and interest to their ideas. • These devices deserve special attention: • Similes • Metaphors • Allusions • Symbols • Images • Motifs Abstractions (Style) You must effectively explain WHY and HOW these devices add meaning to the book. Here you will want to examine physical objects that take on special significance as symbols.
