A reading comprehension quiz, literary analysis activity, vocabulary worksheet, crossword puzzle, word search game, copy of the narrative, and answer keys are included. By engaging with these materials, students will:

  • Bolster vocabulary skills.

  • Infer character motivations (e.g., why the narrator shares biographical information, why the antagonist repeats a particular phrase, etc.).

  • Analyze the author's word choices and their intended effects (e.g., why the narrator uses the verb invaded and the noun excitement in context).

  • Apply knowledge of literary devices (e.g., allusion, cliche, hyperbole, invective, metaphor, onomatopoeia, personification, situational irony, and more).

  • Articulate the greater significance of a given detail (e.g., the reference to the antagonist's "dark eyes").

  • Argue whether the antagonist truly respects the protagonist as he claims.

  • Evaluate whether the protagonist's background as a well educated professional helps or hinders his ability to cope with stressful situations.

  • Support claims with relevant textual evidence.

In reality, however, the doctor making this claim seeks to destroy the life of his rival.

The materials are delivered in editable Word Document and printable PDF formats. (Alternatively, a Google Drive option is available.)
