Syllabus

• Paper 3 will start with Othello straight away.
• For Paper 1, we will start with poetry. We will only

begin Age in Term 2 Week 2, so please read the novel in your own time by then. We are speeding through Book One, so you will want to be very familiar with what goes on by then. SparkNotes is useful… but isn’t anywhere near good enough.

Our Objectives Today

• Master what are nouns, verbs, adjectives and
• adverbs. Please learn them, even the lazy bones!
• Have a taste of The Age of Innocence. Savour it
• r puke it out (i.e. go change your combi)!
• Re-familiarise yourself with the W-H-Y

framework, focusing on ‘how’.

Work in PAIRS

But New York had so long resigned itself to Medora that only a few old ladies shook their heads over Ellen's gaudy clothes, while her other relations fell under the charm of her high colour and high spirits. She was a fearless and familiar little thing, who asked disconcerting questions, made precocious comments, and possessed outlandish arts, such as dancing a Spanish shawl dance and singing Neapolitan love-songs to a guitar.

Look for Patterns!

Under the direction of her aunt… the little girl received an expensive but incoherent education, which included “drawing from the model,” a thing never dreamed of before, and playing the piano in quintets with professional musicians. (Ch 8, p49)

Look for Patterns!

[WHAT] Ellen Olenska is portrayed by the narrator as a clear outsider who does not conform to the customs of New York.

• [HOW] The adjectives used, whether to describe

her appearance (‘gaudy’) or her ‘disconcerting’, ‘precocious’ and ‘outlandish’ behaviour, all present her as a disruption or disturbance to the general

• rder.

Sample

[HOW] The references to distinctly European activities (‘Spanish shawl dance’, ‘Neapolitan love- songs’) also reinforce this sense of foreignness.

• [WHY] The writer seems to raise the concern of
• therness in her portrayal of Ellen. The ‘few old

ladies’ symbolically exclude and reject Ellen, as New York comes to do later in the novel.

• r Michael Kors?

One had only to look at him, from the slant of his bald forehead and the curve of his beautiful fair moustache to the long patent-leather feet at the

the knowledge of "form" must be congenital in any

• ne who knew how to wear such good clothes so

carelessly and carry such height with so much lounging grace. (Ch 1, p7)

Look for Patterns!

Lawrence Lefferts was, on the whole, the foremost authority on "form" in New York. He had probably devoted more time than any one else to the study

• f this intricate and fascinating question; but study

alone could not account for his complete and easy competence.
