The bachelor's story is considered a SATIRE. He makes fun of something that our society values and promotes. As we read, we should consider what this "something" is.
The bachelor's story also contains verbal and situational irony.
Verbal Irony - when you say one thing but mean another.
Situational Irony - when the opposite of what you expect happens
View photos and captions that are IRONIC.
Analyze, interpret and identify literary elements as we read together 157-159 - "The bachelor's Tale."
Guided
In your own words paragraph, summerize the bachelor's story.
Then complete the comprehension questions on the handout provided.
Review your summary and answers on comprehension handout. Then answer the following question on the same piece of paper you wrote your summary on - to be collected.
What do you think Saki is making fun of (satirizing) in "The Storyteller?"? Use the text to help you answer. Focus on the IRONY - remember, Bertha is "horribly good" and her medals clanking around draw the wolf's attention.
Exit Pass
The children LOVE the bachelor's story. It is shocking but believeable to them. What kind of narrator was the bachelor while telling his story and why did this make the story more believable?
