Objective:
You will be able to cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly.Warm-Up:
Read the quote in your notes, and analyze the diction by complete the two questions. You need to edit the questions in your notes because of a typo. The warm-sup should read:As I watched the sun broke weekly through, brightened the rich red of the fawns, and kindled their white spots.
-E. B. White, “Twins” Poems and Sketches of E.B. White
- What kind of flame does kindled imply? How does this verb suit the purpose of the sentence?
- Would the sentence be stronger or weaker by changing the sun broke weakly through to the sun burst through? Explain the effect this change would have on the use of the verb kindled.
