In preparation for tomorrow's test, we addressed: plot intricacies , character development, irony, and foreshadowing . As Dickens closes out his lengthy narrative ,he pulls together the intersecting plot lines. We first addressed Matthew's plot based questions as he had some lack of clarity on the storyline. Next, we addressed text that illustrated Dickens' critique of Victorian society's treatment of the children of the poor, followed by an examination of foreshadowing of the story's action. After reading another passage, we reviewed the difference between dramatic irony and foreshadowing. Last, we practiced a quote analysis whereby Matthew discussed how Pip's positive character development is illustrated by Pip's comparison of" beloved true Joe "and the" brazen hypocrite" ,Pumblechook. HW-STUDY for test. Great Expectations to be completed next week. Literary research paper due May 16.
