"Echo and Narcissus" paragraph review

How long should a written paragraph response be?

• 1-2 sentences

• 3-5 sentences

• 5-7 sentences

• 9-12 sentences

Based on the information provided (in the picture) about the story and from your prompt, what is the best topic sentence?

• The story changes point of view

• In "Echo and Narcissus," Ovid's switch of point of view in paragraph 5 has a specific effect.

• In "Echo and Narcissus" by Ovid, there are several characters.

• In the story, there is a shift in point of view.

Based on this picture, what would you suggest the writer add to this paragraph response? (notice the grade of 1 out of 4).

• The author's name and the title of the text in the first/topic sentence

• The author's name and the title of the text in the last/concluding sentence

• A second quote

• explanations of the quotes

• all of the above

Since the prompt asks us to explore the shift of point of view in paragraph five, we should have two quotes. How would you choose the two quotes? Select TWO...

• One from Narcissus, since his obsession with himself is the focus of paragraph five

• One from the shift to 2nd person (you) point of view that gives Narcissus a warning about being too vain.

• one quote about Narcissus

• One quote about the river, since that is where he meets himself

Other quote options could include: choose two

• A quote about Liriope, Narcissus's mom and a quote about Tiresias, to show the prophecy swirling around Narcissus and Echo's love.

• Quotes that show how Narcissus once spurned others, until he met himself (a before and after contrasting)

• A quote that details how Echo (or others) loved Narcissus and then a quote about Narcissus's falling in love with himself over all others.

Choose the best quote introduction below:

• Another example is when, "all that is lovely in himself he loves" (Par. 5).

• This shift in point of view is evident when, instead of focusing on how others view Narcissus, we see the title character "marvel at himself...fixed on his own eyes" (Par. 5).

For this quote below, choose the best EXPLANATION that ties the quote to the shift in point of view prompt:

This shift in point of view is evident when, instead of focusing on how others view Narcissus, we see the title character "marvel at himself...fixed on his own eyes" (Par. 5).

• Sadly, Tiresias's prophecy is coming true.

• Poor Echo must now live her days in despair at her lost love.

• This change reminds that reader that Narcissus is no longer simply unattainable; he is too vain to ever be in relationship with another.

For this quote below, choose the best EXPLANATION that ties the quote to the shift in point of view prompt:

This shift in point of view is evident when the speaker leaves behind the 3rd person point of view and enters into the second person, giving Narcissus advice to "avert your gaze" and move on (Par. 5).

• Sadly, Tiresias's prophecy is coming true.

• Poor Echo must now live her days in despair at her lost love.

• This change reminds that reader that Narcissus is no longer simply unattainable; he is too vain to ever be in relationship with another.

• This change moves from mere storytelling to warning Narcissus (and perhaps the reader) of the dangers of vanity.

Which quote below uses correct MLA formatting?

• "Avert your gaze and you will lose your love, for this taht holds your eyes is nothing save the image of yourself reflected back to you" (Par. 5).

• "Avert your gaze and you will lose your love, for this taht holds your eyes is nothing save the image of yourslef reflected back to you." (Par. 5)".

What are options for citing an electronic, one-page story (like a Common Lit piece) in correct MLA formatting? (choose three).

• No need to cite a work if you are writing your paragraph in Common Lit or your teacher knows what story you are using.

• Use the author's name once in the topic sentence.

• Cite the author's last name and page number (Ovid 1).

• Use the author's name once in the topic sentence and then cite the paragraph number only (Par. 5).
