DO NOW
An ALLUSION is a figure of speech that makes a reference to a place, person, or something that happened in history or from a piece of literature or movie which that most people are familiar.
SOOO, Explain why the author of 'Notes from a Bottle" makes an allusion to the Noah's Ark - page 376.
Direct Instruction
Read 376 - 377 holt text. Reread the scenewhen they are on the roof. What does this scene look like? Does the ALLUSION to the Titanic help you picture the scene?
Watch the clip from the Titanic. It is the scene where the band is playing "Nearer My God to Thee." It is the scene that is used as an ALLUSION in "Notes from a Bottle."
The allusion draws three PARALLELS:
1. It foreshadows impending doom.
2. It makes the reader realize how big the disaster is in "Notes from a Bottle."
3. It brings attention to how the characters react differently in a crisis/ tragic situation.
Take note now of these three things again when you watch the clip for a second time.
Guided
Compare the narrator's behavior to Langford's when they are on the rooftop at the end of the story. Then, give each of them at least three character traits from what you know about them throughout the journal entires. How would you have behaved if you were on that roof? Why?
