Making Connections
Woman with Flower by Naomi Long Madgett
I wouldn't coax the plant if I were you.
Such watchful nurturing may do it harm.
Let the soil rest from so much digging
And wait until it's dry before you water it.
The leaf's inclined to find its own direction;
Give it a chance to seek the sunlight
for itself.
Much growth is stunted by too careful
prodding,
Too eager tenderness.
The things we love we have to learn to
leave alone.
· What advice does the speaker in "Woman with Flower"
seem to offer the narrator of "The Scarlet Ibis"?
· How would the other members of Doodle's family react to
such advice?
· In order to answer the above questions, compare the
narrator's (brother) treatment of Doodle with that of other
family members.
· Then paraphrase the speaker's advice and analyze how it
related to how it relates to Doodle's situation.
· At the end, judge whether comparing Doodle to a flower
seems suitable
Author’s Craft Meet and Greet
Decide on the central conflict of “The Scarlet Ibis” and how this central conflict impacts the climax. Also,
discuss how you know who the protagonist and antagonist are based on this decision. Draw a chart that
illustrates this relationship. Explain the components of the chart in three bullet points.
Discuss the concept of foil characters and explain why Doodle and his brother foil each other. Identify
two passages from the text that illustrate this foil relationship. Explain what we learn from comparing
them.
Pull out 3-4 descriptive passages (could be phrases, sentences, paragraphs) that help you really visualize
the characters, setting, and action in the story. Analyze and write about how James Hurst, the author,
guides you to see things. When possible use academic language about literary devices to help us see his
intention (i.e., simile, metaphor, alliteration, onomontopia, hyperbole, etc.,)
Explain: How does the use of local color enhance or detract from the reader’s experience? Explain with
evidence.
