We first reviewed a glossary of AP terms defining literary techniques and discussed how AP essays need to focus on how these techniques elucidate various literary elements such as character, setting, and perspective. I further reviewed the elements of characterization and setting and continued instruction on narrator and character perspective noting how we can discern perspective based on a character's history or distance from the narrative. We then explored James Joyce's "Araby". I explained how the setting's imagery of light and dark informs the theme of shattered youthful illusions. Joshua will be redrafting his paragraph on the function of setting in "Araby" tonight.
