The others cried out also when they saw blood upon the lieutenant’s sleeve Naturalism

• The event of being shot is a force beyond the lieutenant’s control


2. One, seeing his arm, began to scold. “Why, man, that’s no way to do. You want to fix that thing.” He appropriated the lieutenant and the lieutenant’s wound. He cut the sleeve and laid bare the arm, every nerve of which softly fluttered under his touch. He bound his handkerchief over the wound, scolding away in the meantime. Realism

• This is the way one person might realistically react to the situation


3. When he reached home, his sisters, his mother, his wife, sobbed for a long time at the sight of the flat sleeve. “Oh, well,” he said, standing shamefaced amid these tears. “I don’t suppose it matters so much as all that.” Both

• Naturalism: This passage emphasizes the lieutenant’s and the women’s reactions to an event outside their control

• Realism: The reaction reflects realistic responses to the lieutenant’s injury


• Extra Credit: On the back of the worksheet in a reframed sentence: According to the Naturalists, humans are weak

and ineffectual beings at the mercy of deterministic forces. Defend this statement using examples from “An Episode of War.”• Story is available online, I can post a link

Book Pass

• Choose one of the books at your table Look at the front cover Look at the back cover Read the first few pages

• When the timer goes off after 2 minutes, write down Title & Author Brief 1-sentence summary Your opinion

• When I say “Book Pass”, pass clockwise (left) When first set of books have visited all @table,

choose from center

Book Pass

• WITHOUT DISCUSSING WITH YOUR FRIENDS

• List book choice, ranked in order of preference, 1=highest priority, 9=lowest priority

• Include at least one reason why you ranked this book here, including reasons why it’s not higher (be honest ;) ) This will help me determine which book for you if

your first choice is not available

Book Pass

1. The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison I liked Beloved and this is by the same author

2. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald The movie is coming out soon and I want to

read the book first

3. Rain of Gold by Victor Villasenor My friend said this was a good book, so I’m

willing to try it

4. Native Son by Richard Wright This is last because it has too many pages and

I can’t really connect with the story
