1 Literary Analysis Close reading and analysis strategies for interpre3ng the meaning of literary prose.
2 Unit Focus SIFT acronym for analysis purposes Tone word con3nuum Theme chart Advanced Placement Literature and Composi3on mul3ple choice ques3on stems.
3 Close Reading and Annota3ons It is important to interact with the text as you read. In other words, read ac3vely rather than passively. This can involve many different strategies, but one common way is to annotate, literally to make nota3ons (take notes), as you read. I have a separate handout on what annota3ons may look like for you.
4 Analysis There are many different ways to interpret author craj and how that creates meaning within a text. One method involves the acronym SIFT. S symbol and semng I imagery and irony F figura3ve language T tone and theme
5 S symbol Symbol: An item or character that is complete in itself, but can also stand for something greater than itself. For example, in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde the mirrors that are set up in the laboratory are on one level just mirrors, a device for reflec3ng an image, but on a deeper level they are also devices that reflects the true horrors hidden deep in the soul of an intelligent, curious doctor who went too far in an experiment to split his personality.
6 S semng SeMng is ojen one of the most overlooked, yet most important, devices used to set the tone of a literary work. Consider semng as more than just 3me and place. Yes, these are important, but no3ce also things like 3me of day, weather, urban/pastoral, barren/lush, etc. A lush, verdant locale that ojen has gentle rains could be indica3ve of fer3lity, for example.
7 I imagery Imagery is language that appeals to the senses. Typically these are: tac3le(touch), auditory(hearing), visual(sight), gustatory(taste), and olfactory(smell). Also remember the literary device of synesthesia. This occurs when the imagery crosses sense for example when a color is described as having a smell.
8 I irony Irony: the use of language to manipulate meaning from what one expects to something quite different Drama3c irony: Irony that results when the audience or reader is aware of ac3on within the plot that the characters themselves are not privy to. (Think horror movies) Situa3onal irony: Irony that results when an an3cipated resolu3on based on a series of events does not actually occur, and what does occur is quite unexpected. (Even if you saw it coming. ) Verbal irony: Irony that results when a character says something, and although it may have meaning within that par3cular context, it also has meaning outside of this context as well, and this meaning is ojen more important. (Sarcasm is a type of verbal irony.)
9 F figura3ve language Figura3ve language, ojen referred to as figures of speech, is language that is not meant to be taken literally, but rather it is used to create a comparison for easier understanding of some topic or concept. For the purpose of this ac3vity we will focus on the figures of thought, more commonly referred to as tropes, where the meaning of words are actually changed for effect. There are five primary tropes: metaphor, simile, personifica3on, synecdoche, and metonymy.
10 F figura3ve language Metaphor a trope that associates two district things without using a connec3ve word (one thing becomes the other such as he is a snake ) Simile a trope that associates two district things by using a connec3ve word such as like or as ( he is like a snake ) Personifica3on a trope in which human characteris3cs are bestowed upon anything nonhuman (saying that (love is blind ) Synecdoche a trope in which a part of something is used to represent the whole or, occasionally, the whole is used to represent a part (referring to a car as a set of wheels ) Metonymy a trope in which one thing is represented by another that is commonly and ojen physically associated with it (calling a monarch a crown for example)
11 T tone Tone is the author s amtude toward the audience or subject ma[er of a literary work. An author s tone may be sarcas3c, playful, somber, or etc. Consider the tone of a literary work like you would the tone of someone s voice. Some3mes it s not what you say so much as how you say it in the wri[en word, however, we must determine tone based on the speakers tags and the choice of dic3on rather than the way the characters are literally speaking.
12 T tone An important thing to note about tone is that is can (and usually does) change over the course of a work. Therefore, while the overall tone of a piece may be one thing, there may also be several tone shijs that occur. Another important thing about tone is to make sure your assessment of it is as accurate as possible and this means using the right word(s). For example happy and ecsta3c are not the same thing. Click here to link to a pre[y good tone word list to help with this.
13 T theme A theme of a literary work is a statement, either expressed or implied, that the text appears to be making about its subject. This statement needs to be broad, complete in and of itself, and about what the work seems to be saying about humanity at large. Fear of change is NOT a theme. People tend to fear change because it s movement from the known to the unknown which can create an atmosphere of confusion and discomfort IS a theme.
14 T theme Here is a chart that may help you determine a theme for a literary work. PLOT SUMMARY SUBJECTS OR MOTIFS POSSIBLE THEME(S) Here, concisely, write up the general plot of the passage. You should write this in paragraph form for best effect. Here, make a bulleted list of the subjects or mo3fs you no3ce throughout the passage. Here is where you pull together the subjects with the general plot to create a complete sentence iden3fying what you believe the author is saying about humanity through the passage.
15 T theme PLOT SUMMARY SUBJECTS OR MOTIFS POSSIBLE THEME(S) In Janet Walking, Janet awakens and runs to greet her pet chicken only to discover a bee had stung and killed the chicken. The discovery desolates Janet to such a degree that her father cannot console her. *a child s first experience with death *loss of a pet *innocent to experience 1) Children eventually become aware of the inevitably of death and are transformed by the knowledge. 2) The inevitable knowledge of death leads to the loss of innocence and the gaining of experience. *Examples taken from The AP Ver<cal Teams Guide for English
16 AP Language / AP Literature On both the AP Language and AP Literature exams you will have a mul3ple choice sec3on. There will be roughly 5-7 passages to read.
