Target: to practice embedding quotations in an analysis of text
1. Introduction to the text
2. Read Chapter 1 out loud. Review orally questions from "How to Begin at the Beginning" handout.
3. PROMPTS:
Literary Analysis: How is Huckleberry Finn characterized in the first chapter? Is he a sympathetic character?
OR
Rhetorical Analysis: How would you describe the TONE of Huckleberry Finn in this first chapter? What seems to be his attitude towards his caretakers and his relatively new way of life, being "sivilized"?
As you write your response to this question, be sure to practice EMBEDDING at least TWO pieces of carefully selected text within a sentence of your own.
