February 2nd: Happy Groundhog Day!

You have already examined one of the characteristics of Sacred Literature by recognizing the instructional purpose. Now we are going to dig into the literary value/purpose of the text.
You will need to pick ONE ANALECT from the text that you worked with for Wednesday. Of this Analect, you will ask the two following questions: 1. What recognizable human experiences are portrayed in this text? (Look to the figurative/underlying purpose) 2. What is the artistic style of the passage? What use does the passage make of literary techniques like metaphor, simile, diction and a multitude of other literary devices? (Terms) You will need to pick five literary terms from our expansive list to explain their presence and purpose in the Analect. Upload a Google Document with proper MLA format. You will also need to put the works cited information at the bottom of your writing. It is a work from an anthology. Please reference the OWL.
