Sophomores:

1. SWBAT Continue the Death of a Pig unit
The students will be responsible for completing the following questions over the course of the next 2 weeks.

I am attaching a short response with each question in case they need this.

***Independent questions 6: What relationship does White establish between himself and the pig?

White establishes a relationship in which what happens to the pig directly affects the man. When the pig is “a healthy pig,” the man also feels healthy—he can anticipate “some later feast of his own”—but when the pig is feeling sick, “the pig’s imbalance becomes the man’s.” 

***Partner Question #8: How does White use figurative language to develop your understanding of the relationship between the man and pig?

White uses metaphors and parallelism to develop the man's identification with the pig. 

Quote may include:

White uses the image of a “silver cord” that ties him and the pig together “inextricably” (section 3, paragraph 3).

The author’s thoughts are “the bowl of [his] mind”—he is full of thoughts about the pig, to the point of “obsession” (section 3, paragraph 3). 

The pig has come to represent “all earthy wretchedness” (section 3, paragraph 3) to the author. 

White’s figurative language is both grieving and ruminating; it creates a sense of a powerful bond between the man and the pig. 

***End of Unit:

1. How does White develop the idea “once in a while something slips” over the course of the text?

  

2.  SWBAT complete any classwork/HW for Algebra year 2 of 2
