LO: To develop word level analysis of text.
Pick two or three quotations from Act 1 and the same number from Act 2 and analyse closely.
Ensure that in your analysis you address the following in detail.
- language (lexis, grammar, syntax, punctuation, word class, tenses etc.)
- literary devices (metaphor, simile, alliteration, assonance, rhyme, rhythm etc.)
- how humour is created (irony, inversions, puns and plays on words/phrases/proverbs, satirical comment, situation etc.)
Write these up directly onto the blog PLEASE and complete by Thursday.
NB. You could quite easily write a side on one quotation if you look at it closely though I am expecting about half a side of detailed work in each quotation. I am interested NOT in how well you waffle BUT in how well you dissect language.
Example: See the work we did on "All women become like their mothers. ..." Grammatically inaccurate use of punctuation but very specifically chosen for effect. Declarative style which both reinforces the prejudices of the character and is pitched to elicit laughs. etc.
Work should be completed in C1.
