Print out and annotate the following story by Kate Chopin. Highlight important sentences. If there is not enough room for annotations on the printout, write notes in your binder. Focus on how different types of literary rhetoric (organization of plot, details, characterization, dialogue, imagery, mood/tone, shifts, setting, figurative language, connotations of diction, etc.) support a theme. Indicate page numbers, paragraph numbers, and line numbers, as appropriate. Also, do "Shorter Analysis Activity" https://scholarmulhern.blogspot.com/2019/11/analysis-of-text-shorter-version.html:
You must have an electronic document (on your laptop) of the Analysis of the Text. You must also have a printed-out document in your binder for the entirety of the semester.

If you are unable to print the text, please read it on an electronic device. Make sure you have copious notes in your binder (indicate page numbers, paragraphs, line numbers) when referring to different sections. Of course, it is preferable to have a printed copy of the text.
