Irony
down in your notes-indicate the date 9/15) (Please start class by writing this
◦ Irony is an implied discrepancy between what is said and what is meant. ◦ Three kinds of irony: 1.
Verbal irony is when an author says one thing and means something else.
2.
Dramatic irony is when an audience perceives something that a character in the story does not know. 3.
Situational irony is a discrepancy between the expected result and actual results.
Figurative Language
◦ Simile: a figure of speech in which two unlike things are explicitly compared, as in “she is like a rose.” (like or as) ◦ Metaphor: a figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance. ◦ Personification: the attribution of human nature or character to animals, inanimate objects, or abstract notions. ◦ Hyperbole: obvious and intentional exaggeration.
***Please turn in your homework (video notes over author, notes over setting, vocabulary, and figurative language). If you lost yours, you will have to come and see me after school to get another one.
Summary Chapter 1 Hunger Games
◦ In the square, the mayor gives a speech that provides the history of the Hunger Games. ◦ Struck by droughts, storms, rising seas, and other natural problems, North America essentially dissolved, and the country of Panem rose up in its place. ◦ Panem was formed of a Capitol and thirteen districts, but the districts eventually rebelled. The Capitol defeated the districts, with the thirteenth being so badly destroyed that it ceased to exist. ◦ Haymitch Abernathy, one of only two people from District 12 to win the Hunger Games and the only one still living, comes out on stage.
◦ He is drunk and tries to hug Effie Trinket, a public figure who acts as an escort to District 12’s tributes. Effie Trinket then draws the name of the first tribute: Primrose Everdeen.
Summary Chapter 2 Hunger Games
◦ Katniss, in a panic, rushes forward and shouts that she is volunteering as tribute. ◦ Katniss fights back any sign of emotion because crying will make the other tributes think she’s weak. ◦ The name of the boy tribute is drawn and it’s Peeta Mellark. ◦ Katniss thinks about her interaction with Peeta years earlier. ◦ They had run out of money and food—starvation is common in District 12
◦
Summary Chapter 2 Hunger Games
She searched the trash bins but found nothing. Suddenly a woman was screaming at her to leave from the back door of the bakery. ◦ There was a commotion, then Peeta returned with two burned loaves of bread, his mother yelling behind him to feed them to the pigs. ◦ Katniss brought the bread home and fed her family. It made her hopeful they wouldn’t starve, and she wondered if he had burned the bread on purpose to help her, despite knowing his mother would hit him for it. ◦ Later, she saw Peeta at the same time that she saw the first dandelion of spring. ◦ Recalling that dandelions are edible, she realized she would have to use the skills her father taught her to keep herself and her family alive, and she associates this realization with Peeta.
