Literary Terms:
FORESHADOWING
a literary device in which a writer gives
an advance hint of what is to come
later in the story
Literary Term:
JUXTAPOSITION
the arrangement of two or more things
for the purpose of comparison.
Examples of Juxtaposition
Paragraph 60 is especially rich in
juxtaposition. What textual examples
of this did you find? What is the effect
of the comparisons?
Everyone has a tendency to grab the first few
quotes they see that “fit” the claim. There’s
nothing inherently wrong with this, but it does
mean that you may not be finding the BEST
evidence for your claim.
 Significant evidence supports your claim
clearly. It allows you to make a strong
argument.

Applicable versus Significant
Would someone’s random opinions be a
better piece of evidence, or would tested,
scientific fact be more persuasive?
 We all know which is stronger, but in literary
analysis, we forget that maybe one specific
quote will be better than a random quote
found.

Think about persuasion
In a group of 4 (ish)
Work together to complete the Graphic
Organizer: fill it in with one significant
example of diction and/or imagery that
clearly shows voice for each identified
section (just put the paragraph number
and the first few words of the quote).
Be ready to justify why it is significant
to voice.
CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING (page24)
Using your Graphic Organizer and annotations,
write a paragraph analyzing the voice of the
narrator and analyzing the use of vivid imagery and
diction to convey this significant incident.
The claim needs to make a statement about what
the overall voice is. Provide evidence from different
sections of the story, and commentary connecting
back to the claim of voice. Use you concluding
sentence to connect the voice to her coming of age.

In “Marigolds,” Lizabeth’s
voice is that of a reflective,
thoughtful adult, but she
recalls her experiences with
the vivid detail of the child
she was.
