Once in a While, Something Slips


Description

Students read E. B. White’s personal essay “Death of a Pig.” Students analyze how White unfolds and draws connections between key events and ideas in the text while developing and refining his central ideas. Students examine the text for examples of parallel structure and various types of grammatical phrases. Students’ work with “Death of a Pig” serves as a springboard for discussion of the structure of a narrative essay, of which White’s text is a masterful example, as well as the structure of classic tragedy.
