What is a simple sentence?

What is a compound sentence?

What two ways can we combine clauses to make compound sentences?

ANTHEM REQUIZ

In paragraph form answer the following question:Ayn Rand wrote Anthem in diary form, using first person major point-of-view. Discuss the merits of this form and point of view for this particular novel. Consider: Why is the diary form crucial to plot and character development in Anthem? How does it help to reveal the setting and establish the nature of this society? How does it contribute to the mystery surrounding the Unspeakable Word? How would using first person minor or third person omniscient point of view weaken the novel?

CHARACTER SKETCHPaper Passers: Make sure that each group has paper and markers!

Step 1

Your group will be given a character or group of people to analyze. Your job will be to look through the text and find different examples of direct and indirect characterization to meet each of the following criteria:

• Physical Appearance• Personality Traits• 2 Examples of Figurative Language• Symbolism

Step 2

After finding quotes in the text that show examples of each you need to take it one step further. Give the quote and citation PLUS tell me what that tells you about that character.
