Boyden's Wenjack: Building Connections and Creating Understanding - GRASPS Task
Boyden's Wenjack: Building Connections and Creating Understanding - GRASPS Task
Part 1: Organizer
In the organizer below, select one chapter from Wenjack and identify at least three dominant literary techniques (elements of style) from that
chapter. Analyse how each device generates meaning by how it is used in that chapter. Finally, provide a comment on how these devices and
their meanings work together to develop the theme of connection as a dominant effect in that chapter.
Dominant Effect: How do these three techniques work together to generate the dominant effect of connection in the chapter?
The three techniques establish the dominant effect of connection by describing the poor living conditions of the family, as well as warmth
flowing in the family that the readers could picture. Diction and metaphor collaborate together to show how the cruel the- delete truth is and
also make the contrast of even though this family is living in this situation, they still never forget the principles of being kind to each other.
Lastly, symbolism reminds the readers that no matter in what occasion, Spirit is always by Chanie’s side to either watch over him or help him.
