Title: Something Wicked This Way Comes


1
Something Wicked This Way Comes
  • Stuff To Think About

2
Brainstorm ideas about the two boys
  • Will Halloway Jim Nightshade

3
William Halloway
  • William means protector.
  • Halloway hallowed regarded as holy
    venerated sacred this person will take and
    protect the hallowed or holy way

4
Jim Nightshade
  • James means supplanter (one who takes the place
    of).
  • Nightshade  literally "shade of night," perhaps
    an allusion to poisonous berries (e.g. deadly
    nightshade, enchanters nightshade)

5
Something Wicked This Way Comes
  • Turn to page 15, in the middle of the page where
    Mr. Halloway asks Will if he wants a white-hat or
    a black-hat book. Read from there to the end of
    the chapter.
  •  
  • 1. What does each hat represent?
  •  
  • White Black
  •  
  •  
  •  

6
  • 2. When Jim asks Mr. Halloway which hat hed
    chosen, what does he mean?
  •  
  •  
  • 3. Mr. Halloway replies, Since you need to
    ask, Jim, you make me wonder. What does that
    mean? Find another way to say it.

7
  1. What impact will that decision which hat to
    wear have on the conflict?
  2. Is everyone just one thing, good or evil?
    Explain. Keep an open mind about the novel.
  3. What is the difference between being a certain
    kind of person and putting on a certain kind of
    hat?

8
Brainstorm what you know about lightning
  • Mark Twain said
  • The difference between the right word and the
    almost right word is the difference between
    lightning and lightning bug.
  • Thunder is good, thunder is impressive but it
    is lightning that does the work.

9
What is a lightning rod?
  • 1. a rodlike conductor installed to divert
    lightning away from a structure by providing a
    direct path to the ground.
  • Think about what it would mean for a person to be
    a lightning rod.

10
Figurative Lightning Rod
  • 2. a person or thing that attracts and absorbs
    powerful and esp. negative or hostile feelings,
    opinions, etc., thereby diverting such feelings
    from other targets The unpopular supervisor
    served as a lightning rod for the criticism that
    should have been aimed at management.

11
Emerging Themes
  1. Lack of contentment with life. (Temptation
    Wanting what you cant have be careful what you
    wish for.)
  2. Good vs. Evil
  3. Order vs. Chaos
  4. End of Innocence
  5. How should loyalty govern our decisions loyalty
    to people/ loyalty to principles?

12
Tom Fury
  1. Is he a force for good or a force for evil? Why?
  2. Is his hat different from who he is at heart?
    Why or why not?

13
Warm up
  • Open to page 22 read the part about the barber
    pole.
  • Watch the video clip of the moving barber pole.
  • Answer WHY doesnt Will want Mr. Crosetti to
    turn the pole off. What might it symbolize?

14
Literary Elements To Look For
  • allusion
  • characterization
  • prose
  • metaphor
  • symbolism
  • theme
  • motif
  • typecasting
  • personification
  • conflict

15
Characterization
  • Make a T-chart with Will on the left and Jim on
    the right.
  • Beneath each name, explore what you think each
    boy fears. Be sure to support your opinion with
    evidence from the text! __________________________
    _______________
  • Wills fears are easier to explore than Jims,
    and yet Will is the protector if we are to
    believe that Bradbury gave him that name for a
    reason.

16
Wills fears Jims fears
17
Wills fears Jims fears
  • being left behind 1. boredom/ sameness
  • unpredictability 2. getting hurt
  • bad stuff happening emotionally

  • the unknown 4. Wills not being there
  • people getting hurt to protect him
  • losing Jim (periodically)
  • chaos/lack of order 5. not knowing
  • danger
  • disappointing people

  2. taking risks 22. the unnatural
  3. secrecy 23. being unable to
  4. lightning/storm protect those he loves
  5. doing something bad
  6. the future
  7. getting in trouble
  8. the carnival
  9. facing certain unpleasant realities
  10. evil

19
Last characterization question
  • Who will be better equipped to battle the evil of
    the carnival, Will or Jim? WHY???

20
Misc.
  • Charles Halloway
  • Charles means free man according to some
    texts. What is he free from? Is it ironic?
  • Calliope Officially, this is a character from
    Greek mythology dedicated to music. She was said
    to be the muse of Homer in writing the epic
    poems The Iliad and The Odyssey. It is also the
    name of an organ that was used in carnivals,
    particularly on the carousel. We have come to
    associate it with the carousel and the even the
    carousels horses.

21
Dont forget
  • The natural order of things when its reversed
    or interfered with, we must notice it!
  • Supernatural unnatural!

22
Find several examples in the reading
  • of the natural order of things being
    compromised or going awry in some way. Make sure
    you put around your text and cite the page
    number.

23
Lit. Warm Up
  • Which themes were most evident in Part I.
    Arrivals? Support your opinion with textual
    evidence, including quotations and page s.
  • Note When something unexpected/unnatural
    happens, who makes the most of it, turning it to
    his advantage? Explain this phenomenon as it
    occurs in chapter 24.

24
Themes in Something Wicked This Way Comes
  • Death of innocence
  • Temptation
  • Good vs. Evil
  • Age vs. Youth
  • Order vs. Chaos.
  • The world is composed of opposing forces.
  • Qualities of friendship loyalty to people,
    loyalty to principles
  • Power of love Love triumphs (or does it?).
    Counter evil with __________________.

25
Use simple sentences to address 1
  • Is it possible for one person to make up for the
    deficiencies in another person? Why or why not?
  • Use complex sentences to address 2
  • 2. Is that what Will is trying to do for Jim?
    How do you know?

26
Identify the speaker of some of my favorite
quotations!
  • 1. Now, look, since when did you think being
    good meant being happy?
  • 2. For being good is a fearful occupation men
    strain at it and sometimes break in two.
  • 3. Anything I could say or do to make you
    happy, I would.
  • 4. Death makes everything else sad. But death
    itself only scares. If there wasnt death, all
    the other things wouldnt get tainted.

27
Misc.
  1. Who said, Im a fool? Why did this person
    refer to himself this way?

    the boys make their own storm? (Its nothing
    profound.)
