1.** The following is from John Steinbeck's famous novel //The Grapes of Wrath//, first published in 1939. As you read this paragraph, see if you can identify all the [|prepositional phrases] used by Steinbeck to convey the dramatic return of rain after a long, painful drought. //Underline the prepositional phrases.//


 * Original Paragraph by John Steinbeck**

Over the high coast mountains and over the valleys the gray clouds marched in from the ocean. The wind blew fiercely and silently, high in the air, and it swished in the brush, and it roared in the forests. The clouds came in brokenly, in puffs, in folds, in gray crags; and they piled in together and settled low over the west. And then the wind stopped and left the clouds deep and solid. The rain began with gusty showers, pauses and downpours; and then gradually it settled to a single tempo, small drops and a steady beat, rain that was gray to see through, rain that cut midday light to evening. And at first the dry earth sucked the moisture down and blackened. For two days the earth drank the rain, until the earth was full. Then puddles formed, and in the low places little lakes formed in the fields. The muddy lakes rose higher, and the steady rain whipped the shining water. At last the mountains were full, and the hillsides spilled into the streams, built them to freshets, and sent them roaring down the canyons into the valleys. The rain beat on steadily. And the streams and the little rivers edged up to the bank sides and worked at willows and tree roots, bent the willows deep in the current, cut out the roots of cotton-woods and brought down the trees. The muddy water whirled along the bank sides and crept up the banks until at last it spilled over, into the fields, into the orchards, into the cotton patches where the black stems stood. Level fields became lakes, broad and gray, and the rain whipped up the surfaces. Then the water poured over the highways, and cars moved slowly, cutting the water ahead, and leaving a boiling muddy wake behind. The earth whispered under the beat of the rain, and the streams thundered under the churning freshets.

 * Homework due Monday, January 4th:**

Define in your words each of these l[|iterary term]s and post on your wiki: //-antagonist, protagonist, characterization, theme, symbol, internal conflict, external conflict. foreshadow.// AND THEN, give an example of each term from Gilgamesh. Define: Antagonist: principal character in opposition to the protagonist. Sometimes not a person but an obstacle such as a force of nature, society or inner conflict. Protagonist: the central character or hero in a narrative or drama, usually, the one with whom the audiences identifies with. Characterization: The method a writer uses to reveal the personality of a character in a literary work. Methods may include what the character says about him or she, what others reveal about the character, and the characters own actions. Theme: An ingredient of a literary work, which gives the work unity. The theme provides an answer to the question "What is the work about?" There are too many possible themes to recite them all in this document. Each literary work carries its own theme(s). Unlike plot, which deals with the action of a work, theme concerns itself with a work's message or contains the general idea of a work. Symbol: A character, an action, a setting, or an object representing something else can be a symbol. Most often, the symbol in a story is an object that represents its owner's character or situation, or both. For example, a secluded, near-empty apartment might represent the alienation and emotional emptiness of the tenant. Symbols are usually recognizable by the amount of emphasis they receive. Objects intended to be viewed as symbolic may be described in detail, be included in the title, be referred to frequently, or emphasized at the beginning or ending of the story. When we recognize a symbol and understand its meaning or meanings we see more clearly what the writer chose to emphasize. Internal conflict: a conflict within the character. Externl conflict: the character pitted against an outside force, such as nature, obstacle, or another character. Foreshadow: This is a writers' technique in which the author provides clues or hints as to what is going to happen later in the story. It's like the music in a scary movie when we know that something bad is about to happen.
 * Homework due Friday, December 11th:**

Example: Antagonist: Huwawa Protagonist: Gilgamesh Characterization: ? Theme: Immortal Symbol: Gilgamesh wants to live forever. Internal conflict: Gilgamesh, Enkidu Vs.
