Description
Students begin analysis of “Death of a Pig.” Students listen to a masterful reading of the full text and then analyze specific word choices in the first section of the essay, in which White introduces the reader to the pig and sets the stage for the pig’s death. Students review the characteristics of a personal narrative essay and consider the impact of word choice on the development of the humorous and mournful tones interwoven throughout the text. Students also analyze White’s use of the word tragedy in the context of the essay’s events.
