Listen to the reading. Second time begin drawing as you hear the reading. Third time listen for sensory language.

When I think of the home town of my youth, all that
I seem to remember is dust—the brown, crumbly dust
of late summer—arid, sterile dust that gets into the eyes and
makes them water, gets into the throat and between the toes
of bare brown feet. I don’t know why I should remember only
the dust. Surely there must have been lush green lawns and
paved streets under leafy shade trees somewhere in town;
but memory is an abstract painting—it does not present
things as they are, but rather as they feel. And so, when
I think of that time and that place, I remember only the
dry September of the dirt roads and grassless yards of the
shanty-town where I lived. And one other thing I remember,
another incongruency of memory—a brilliant splash of sunny
yellow against the dust—Miss Lottie’s marigolds.

 

Thursday, April 12th

Name generator with questions from the following text:

Question 1:

Figurative Language: Find an example of juxtaposition/ opposites

Question 2: Find another example of juxtaposition.

Question 3: How does the speaker feel about becoming an adult?

Question 4: Who do you think the you… is that she is waiting for?

Whenever the memory of those marigolds flashes across
my mind, a strange nostalgia[1] comes with it and remains
long after the picture has faded. I feel again the chaotic
emotions of adolescence, illusive as smoke, yet as real as
the potted geranium before me now. Joy and rage and wild
animal gladness and shame become tangled together in
the multicolored skein of 14-going-on-15 as I recall that
devastating moment when I was suddenly more woman
than child, years ago in Miss Lottie’s yard. I think of those
marigolds at the strangest times; I remember them vividly
now as I desperately pass away the time waiting for you,
who will not come.

Question 5: Continue reading pg. 214 and then listen to the close read.
