Alright, so now that we're pretty much done with Their Eyes Were Watching God, it's time to start on The Stranger. Yay. My favorite book ever. As far as tabbing goes for this novel, I plan on doing the following with my gorgeous multicolored sticky notes:
- Blue will be used to mark motifs and symbols used throughout the book
- Sleep
- Words having to do with time
- The number 2 or multiples of it
- Pink will be used to identify syntax and structure
- Rhetorical questions
- Loose/periodic sentences
- Complex/simple sentences
- Narration
- Verb tense
- Parallelism
- Microcosm
- Word choice
- Green will be used to show figurative language
- Simile & metaphor
- Imagery
- Yellow will be used to keep track of possible themes/ thematic elements
- Mersault's blatant indifference
- Mersault's odd obsession with the physical world yet his absence from the emotions that accompany it
- Purple will be used to mark quotes that will support any possible themes that come along
And yet again, I may choose to use my other pretty multicolored sticky notes, in which case the following would hold true:
- Blue will be used to mark motifs and symbols used throughout the book (same as above)
- Orange will be used to identify syntax and structure (same as pink above)
- Green will be used to show figurative language (same as above)
- Yellow will be used to keep track of possible themes/ thematic elements (same as above)
- White will be used to mark quotes that will support any possible themes that come along (same as purple above)
Cheers.
