Links between LITTOC and the HT brainstormed in class
Social Status: The hierarchy in the HT — Love in the Time of Cholera there is also a question of status for instance, Florentino manages to change his social status (motivated by his love for Fermina), and Fermina improves her status through marriage
Sex used as an escape or as a form of power
HT: Offred sees the possibility of using her body with the doctor, the guards, the commander, and Nick
LITTOC: Florentino to fill the emptiness of not having Fermina or perhaps other psychological issues and justifies it as “love”
Revealing the sexist structures of society and promoting feminism / decrying patriarchy
HT: women are used as objects/property – they can’t own anything and are “objects of procreation” , women cannot have control over their own money and are made property
LITTOC: viewed as “prey”, Fermina’s frustration in her marriage — “servitude” , Fermina is like the “property” of Urbino/doesn’t make her own choices
both use “irony” — Serena’s position in society anti-career
Use of flower imagery
HT: flowers represent fertility — Serena’s garden and her cutting of the flowers
LITTOC: Fermina wears flower representing purity
Manipulation
HT: brainwashed society, sometimes a survival mechanism to manipulate others
LITTOC: Fermina is constantly manipulated by one man or another
Power of words
HT: not allowed to use words and write, Offred is sensitive to words, her narration is also like letter or a journal in a way — very personal , but she does speak to some sort of audience
LITTOC: letters, Florentino’s sensitive to poetry– uses this to manipulate women and continue his illusions of love
Deterioration and transformation of society
HT: new society
LITTOC: author tries to denounce colonisation/
Violence
HT: physical violence, mental violence
LITTOC: sexual abuse, “predator”
Projection of feelings onto nature
HT: Offred often talks about flowers and seasons to portray her feelings/her environment
LITTOC: world deteriorating, etc
Use of foreshadowing/suspense–non chronological narrative
HT: euphemism

Poetry Presentation Instructions
x Make a powerpoint or some other type of presentation following the TPCASTT method for analysis. Do not put all the information to “copy” on your slides. Like a good teacher, try to incite the class to do some of the analysis with you. Miss Carpenzano will also be there to help.
x Before beginning your presentation, give the class vocabulary and read the poem aloud
x Write a thesis statement on your poem
x Choose an image to represent the poem and explain to us why you chose this image
x At the end of your presentation ask a few questions to “quiz” the class to see if they were listening 🙂
Please do not use the internet to research and copy-paste/plagarize/cheat. It is important that you think about the poem yourselves. It is okay if you do not see everything/do a perfect job. That is what Miss Carpenzano is there to help for.
Also, divide the work evenly between the two people working on the presentation.
You will be graded on:
Quality/efforts of analysis: 10 possible pts
Quality of oral presentation (confidence, reading of poem, tone of voice, easy to follow and understand, etc): 5 possible points
Quality of visual: 5 possible points
