Eleven by Sandra Cisneros English Discussion – Description
Think about the stories/poems from Week 7 and Week 8. What I would like for you to do this week, is select one of the stories from the past two weeks, apply a close reading to the text, and think about what any deeper meanings might be found. Look specifically for symbolism. Then, dig through the story and look for any thing that might be a symbol. Things to consider: how do you know something is a symbol? How are these symbols described? Are there patterns that connect any symbols together?Remember, as the “reader” you get to identify what pulls literary devices together to create meaning in a work.I would like for you to complete this exercise as best you can without looking the works up in any secondary sources (the internet, library, etc). The point of the exercise is for you to derive the meaning.Then, in a paragraph or two, discuss the symbols in at least one of the stories, and how it helps define deeper meaning in the work. Then respond to one classmate (who wrote on a different story from you). Please use at least two quotes from the work.
