AP Lit and Comp 5th, 6th, 7th
Assignment due Tuesday : 9/5
"Araby"
Please take the Romantic / Realist assessment from the perspective of the narrator at the end of the story. As you answer the questions think about the text and find specific evidence from the text that supports your answer. When you've finished, then compose your brief narrative analysis.
Please come to class with your questions, your observations, answers/support and your writing. (BTW, I am not looking for perfection. I'm interested in your ideas, insights, and questions).
Prompts:
If you’re a Romantic narrator what does the epiphany at the
end of the story say about the magnitude of this experience? Are there places
in your narrative where the ideal-naïve-pure- gallant boy is still intact?
Where and why? What is it that you’re trying to tell us about life and the
human experience?
If you are a Realistic narrator how would you explain the
magnitude of this experience at the end? How do you see the 8 – 11 yr old you and what
is your attitude toward him? To what extent do you understand exactly what
happened at the Bazaar? What is it that you’re trying to tell us about life and
the human experience?

Assignment due Friday 9/1:
"Araby"
Dear 2nd Period, the assignment is the same; however, many of you will find it useful to take the Romantic / Realist assessment from the perspective of your assigned narrative voice. As you answer the questions think about specific evidence from the text that supports your choice. When you've finished, then compose your brief narrative analysis.
Please come to class with your questions, your observations, and your writing. (BTW, I am not looking for perfection. I'm interested in your ideas, insights, and questions).
Try Annotating the text with these THINKING NOTES:
! - I love this part? - Raises a question for possible class discussion
?? - Something is unclear or confusing to me
Prompts:
If you’re a Romantic narrator what does your epiphany at the
end of the story say about the magnitude of this experience? Are there places
in your narrative where the ideal-naïve-pure- gallant boy is still intact?
Where and why? What is it that you’re trying to tell us about life and the
human experience?
If you are a Realistic narrator how would you explain the
magnitude of this experience at the end? How do you see the 8 – 10 yr old you and what
is your attitude toward him? To what extent do you understand exactly what
happened at the Bazaar? What is it that you’re trying to tell us about life and
the human experience?

AP Literature and Composition 5th, 6th, 7th for 8/31/17
Reading
Please finish reading "Araby".
Remember to mark passages that are confusing, provocative, interesting, and/or revealing.
Please come to class with written questions, insights, and ideas.
Question: The narrative stance (the position of the narrator in relation to the story they tell) always disturbs me because I'm never sure if I'm listening to an 8 year old boy who likes a book with "yellow leaves" and a pretty girl, or an adult trying to make sense of (or forget) a childhood "epiphany". To what extent is the narrator reliable (or unreliable) and in what ways does he both distance himself from the experience and/or gain new insights into the same?
