Do Now 1/14Shopping malls have produced a revolution in United States shopping and living habits in just 45 years. Before 1950, there were no malls, but now almost every city or region has at least one. In fact, shopping malls have become a part of daily life. Many people even think of them as social centers. In a way, malls have taken the place of Main Street. Shops and services, which were once spread over several city blocks, are now in one place at the mall. Busy householders can save time by doing their shopping at the mall. And people young and old, with time on their hands, often say, “Let’s go to the mall!”

Author’s Craft within a Dystopian text

• Sixty seconds to take in the ring of tributes all equi-distant from the Cornucopia, a giant golden horn shaped like a cone with a curved tail, the mouth of which is at least twenty feet high, spilling over with the things that will give us life here in the arena. Food, containers of water, weapons medicine, garments, fire starters. Strewn around the Cornucopia are other supplies, their value decreasing the farther they are from the horn. For instance, only a few steps from my feet lies a three-foot square of plastic. Certainly it could be some use in a downpour. But there in the mouth, I can see a tent pack that would protect from almost any sort of weather. If I had the guts to go in and fight for it against twenty-three other tributes. Which I have been instructed not to do.

• Suzanne Collins uses imagery to describe the setting of how the games are orchestrated. According to the text, “…Cornucopia, a giant golden horn shaped like a cone with a curved tail…” Readers can visualize the setting of the games with the use of descriptive language.

She zoomed ahead and looked over her right shoulder and then zagged past a motorbike. She glanced at the clock on the console of her vehicle and darted into the parking lot. Whipping into a parking spot, she grabbed her suitcase and ran through the lot, up the escalator, and into the terminal. Her heavy suitcase was smacking and bouncing the whole way. As soon as entered the terminal, she heard an announcement over the loudspeaker, "Final boarding call for flight 205 to JFK..."

SIFT Method• Symbol: examine the text

and title for symbolism• Images: identify images

and sensory details• Figures of Speech:

analyze figurative language and other devices

• Tone and Theme: discuss how all devices reveal tone and theme

• Guidelines to follow…• Symbols are often visual.• When some event or object or setting

is used as a symbol in the story, you will usually find that the writer has given it a great deal of emphasis. Often it reappears throughout the story.

• A symbol in literature is a form of figurative language. Like a metaphor, a symbol is something that is identified with something else that is very different from it, but that shares some quality.

• A symbol usually has something to do with a story’s theme.

Symbols: Signs of Something More

• Our everyday lives are heaped with symbols:

• Writers create new, personal symbols in their work.

• In literature, a symbol is an object, a setting, an event, an animal, or even a person that functions in the story the way you’d expect it to, but also stands for something more than itself, usually for something abstract.

These commonly accepted symbols are called public symbols

Moby Dick

• The white whale in Moby Dick is a very real white whale in the novel, and Captain Ahab spends the whole book chasing it.

• BUT- certain passages let the readers know that the whale is ASSOCIATED with the mystery of evil in the world.

• Symbols work by ASSOCIATION!

A long brown bar at the dip of the skyPuts an arm of sand in the span of salt.

The lucid and endless wrinklesDraw in, lapse and withdraw.Wavelets crumble and white spent bubblesWash on the floor of the beach.
