Explanations 

#21

Indirect objects are nouns or pronouns that identify to whom or for whom the action of the verb is performed, as well as who is receiving the direct object. Indirect objects are seen infrequently. In order to have an indirect object, there is a direct object.

 

Example: Joe threw the ball.
Joe is the subject-he is the one doing the throwing.v
What did Joe throw? The ball is the direct object because it
receives the action-it is the thing that Joe threw.

Example: Quinn ate cereal for breakfast.
Quinn is the subject-he is the one eating.v
What did Quinn eat? The cereal is the direct object because it
receives the action-it is the thing that Quinn ate.

Number 21 refers to line 26.

Today's instructions:

1. Choose two of the vocabulary words to put into sentence form below.

2. In the American literature book, read the background information on pages 482-483.

3. Read the story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" by Twain.

4. "Writing about literature" located on the bottom of page 489 asks you to write a brief essay...you do not have to write an essay, but answer the two questions in order to analyze the setting:  Why might Twain have selected this setting?  How would the story be different if the narrator had met Wheeler in a city?  No more than one paragraph each.  Complete this in a word document, and turn it in the class bin.

5.  We have touched on "realism" and now we are moving on to the modern period and how that affected American literature.  View the slide below, and take notes accordingly.  You do not need to know individual authors and their works of writing.
