Questions:

2.   Recognizing Author's Purpose  With a small group of classmates, compare the notes you recorded in your Reader's Notebook. As a group, decide on Allende’s main purpose for writing the excerpt. What secondary purposes might she have had?

3.  How would you describe Allende as a writer?
     
      Think About:

• how she sets up her environment as she begins
• her decision to write about “the disappeared”
• her use of personal interviews rather than library research

Just be sure you use MLA format to cite any source used.

LITERARY ANALYSIS STATEMENT: 

In the poem "The Second Coming", William Butler Yeats utilizes 

symbolism in order to develop allegory.
