Writing Prompt
• Describe the voice of the narrator. Then explain how the writer’s diction and imagery create this voice. You might also mention other literary elements, such as juxtaposition, that contribute to the narrator’s voice or point of view.
• Be sure to:– Begin with a clear thesis (claim) of your position– Include multiple direct quotes to support your claim– Include transitions and a concluding statement
Build a Thesis
• Do not say “I think” or “I believe”.– This is your paragraph; inherently, everything you
say is what you believe/think• Make a claim about the narrator’s voice—
what type of voice does it sound like? Mature? Child-like? Reflective? Shallow? Kind?
Build a Thesis
• Tell me what the author Collier incorporates to shape the voice?– Diction– Syntax– Imagery– Flashback– Juxtaposition– Simile– Metaphor– Internal Conflict
Build a Thesis
• Make sure to include the author’s last name, and the title of the work in your thesis statement– Collier– “Marigolds”
Thesis
• In the short story “Margolds,” Collier creates a protagonist with a _______ voice through the use of ______ and _______.
• You may leave the last two blanks blank until you find your examples.
• You may revise your thesis statement once you find your examples.
Textual Support
• We have our working thesis.• Now we need examples/evidence from the
text to support our claim. • Make sure that the text actually supports the
claim you made—don’t switch topics. (Ex. Don’t claim she has a mature voice, and then point to examples of immaturity.)
Bullet List
• Under your thesis, make a bulleted list of two to three quotes from the text that support your claim.
• What type of examples/evidences did you pull? – Go back and fill in the blanks/update your thesis
Commentary
• Commentary is when you tell me how the textual evidence supports your claim/thesis.
• For each bullet point, tell me how it this exemplifies or illustrates the claim you’ve made.– Ex. Speak— “The speaker has a sarcastic voice. We
see this with the diction “basketball pole.” When referring to her peer, she calls him a “Basketball Pole” instead of a person or fellow student, illustrating that she has a biting and dry sense of humor because she exaggerates a physical trait to such an extreme.
You have all the parts…
• Now it is time to smooth out the kinks.• You have your thesis, your textual support, and your
commentary. Put them all together to form a well-developed paragraph.
• Typically, I will do:– Thesis statement– Example 1– Example 1 Commentary– Example 2– Example 2 Commentary– Concluding Sentence to wrap it all up
• Ta-da! You are finished.
ExampleIn the short story “Margolds,” Collier creates a narrator with a reflective voice through the use of diction and imagery. The narrator, Lizabeth, has chosen to retell the story as an adult reflecting on a significant incident from her childhood. Her voice is that of a reflective, thoughtful adult, but she tells the story with the vivid detail of the child who experienced it. The narrator sets the tone by saying she is recalling “that devastating moment when [she] was more woman than child.” From her diction, using the word “devastating,” the reader can infer the incident was negative and significant, causing the narrator to think—or reflect—about it later. When Lizabeth “leaped furiously into the mounds of marigolds and pulled madly, trampling and pulling and destroying the perfect yellow blooms,” the adult narrator comments that she has also destroyed “whatever was of love and beauty and joy” for Miss Lottie and for herself. This imagery of destruction, and the realization of that destruction, conveys an angry child whose adult self reflects clearly on the action that defined her coming of age. Through the use of diction and imagery, the author creates a reflective narrator.
