*Who is Charles?Slide10

Irony

A difference between what is

expected and what actually happens

.

When Laurie’s mother attends the PTA Meeting, she is expecting to meet Charles’s mother. When the teacher says they don’t have a Charles in kindergarten, this is ironic because she doesn’t expect that her son has been bad.

The flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass is richly green. This is ironic because no one would expect something awful to happen on a day like this! This imagery sets the reader up to expect happy events.

Usually winning a lottery would be amazing, but in Shirley Jackson’s story, the person chosen is killed.Slide11

Foreshadowing

A literary technique used by authors to provide

clues/hints

for the reader to predict what might occur later on in the text.

This makes reading more fun and keeps us engaged and interested.

The Lottery-

Tessie arrives late and she is the one to die.

Charles-

Laurie acts insolently toward his father which makes us wonder if it is him that is acting up at school. Slide12

Point-of-View

The perspective from which the story is told.First Person Point of View- A character in the story is telling it from his or her perspective.

Look for

I, we, me, us

Third Person Point of View-

the narrator does not participate in the events of the story, but we learn about how they feel from their descriptions.

Look for

she, he, they.Slide13

What is the Point of View?

Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors, and taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet and they smiled rather than laughed.

The day my son Laurie started kindergarten he renounced corduroy overalls with bibs and began wearing blue jeans with a belt; I watched him go off the first morning with the older girl next door…Slide14

Charles & The Lottery

Charles

is

told from the

first-person point of view

of Laurie’s mother. It is through her eyes that the story unfolds; we learn information only as Laurie’s mother learns it. How does the point of view from which “Charles” is told contribute to the surprise ending? How would “Charles” be different if it were told from Laurie’s point of view?

Why did Shirley Jackson write

“The Lottery” in

3

rd

person point

of view? Does the narrator seem

detached? Why or Why not?

Identify several examples of

foreshadowing

from “Charles

” and “The Lottery”.

Why do you suppose Shirley Jackson chose to hide these clues? How does this contribute to the surprise

endings?

Identify examples of

irony

from “Charles

” and “The Lottery”.

Why do you suppose Shirley Jackson included these “surprises” for us? Is this

one

reason

these stories

are

so memorable?
