Class Assignment

Today we presented our group projects. Our poster board came out amazing!

After everyone presented Mr. Wells disscussed with us some of the new arguments that we came up with.
Before we started these group projects i didnt truly understand how much thought the author of any book puts into their writting. These assignments have gave me a better and deeper understanding of how a writter chooses specific words, sounds, and sentence structures to express a certain tone throughout their novel.

The arguments that Mr.Wells pointed out today are relivant to not obly jane eyre but also everyday life, so we the readers can relate to the novel.

Group Disscusion 5-4

Today Iris and Gabriel were not here.
Last night me and Cassi got a poster board... and since they didnt have black we painted it black!
Iris is going to type up all of our information and give it to Sadaf.
I would give you some examples of what evidence we found this week but it is not here.. its with Iris.
Our group is working very well together. Iris seems alot more relaxed since we lost a group member. ( just kiding) SInce we are not using a powerpoint our presentation should go smooth.
Looking forward to seeing everyones presentions this week.

Cacophony: harsh sounding sounds of owrds.
Onomatopiea: use of owrds to imitate natural sounds; accomidation of sounds to sense
Euphony: harmony or beauty of sound which provides a pleaseing effect to the ear, usually sought-forvin peotry for effect.
Me and Cassi began finding examples of these sounds of words.
Our group also stated talking about what type of presentation we will be doing this week.
