Part B
Annotation (This is when you “break down” and “pick apart” a passage through analysis.
Annotate the following passage from Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird.
*** When we analyze an extract we are looking at two fundamental elements of literature;
content and style- what the author is trying to say and how he/she says it.
Answer the following guiding questions:

- What themes and concepts is the author attempting to convey in the extract?
- What major sort of structure; literary devices, and language choice, does Lee use to
convey her viewpoints?
- What lesson might be taken from the passage?

Use highlighters, colored pencils to identify the following:

- characterization - CONTENT
