DO NOW: WHERE DOES CHAPTER 1 OF THE BELL JAR TAKE PLACE? HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE
THIS CITY?
The Rosenbergs
Allusion: The Rosenbergs
Julian and Ethel Rosenberg were a married couple, convicted of espionage (providing secret information to a foreign, enemy country) against the United States in July 1950.
They were sentenced to death on April 5th, 1951.
The Rosenbergs execution came at the height of the Cold War.
Who is the narrator (the person telling the story)?
What are some of the characteristics of the narrator? How would you describe him or her?
What have we yet to find out her real name? What is the fake name she gives on page (p.11)?
Metaphor
“I felt very still and very empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo” (p.3).
With a partner, write down what you think it means to feel like “the eye of a tornado.”
Doreen
Looking back at Chapter 1: How would you describe Doreen? Provide quotes from the text.
The narrator
How do we know Elly Higginbottom is not the narrator’s real name? Look to page 11.
Why would the narrator give a fake name?
Symbol: The Bell Jar
A bell jar is a piece of laboratory equipment used to contain a vacuum.
Exit Slip
On a separate sheet of paper: If you were in the narrator’s situation, would you have gone out with Doreen? Why or why not?
