Description
Students analyze the third section of E. B. White’s “Death of a Pig,” in which White moves between ruminating on the deterioration of his pig and his own state of mind and recounting a humorous conversation with and visit from the veterinarian. Through collaborative discussion, students analyze how White’s ideas are developed in this section by particular sentences, paragraphs, and structural choices such as the order of events, use of dialogue, use of comparison, and patterns of language including repetition of key words and phrases.
