Look at your family's elders and compare them to trees. Are they strong, sturdy and resilient? Or are they weak, pliable and easily destroyed? In the short story "The Grandfather" by Gary Soto we see how he reminisces about growing up with his grandfather who turns out to be as strong as his favorite avocado tree. Our vocabulary will be taken from this story and you will have a quiz on these words on Monday, March 14. If you've lost your paper you can print out a new Grandfather Vocabulary here.
We are starting chapter six in our textbook which focuses on allegory and symbolism. We will cover what symbols are, what a public symbol is as well as define allegory.
