Part 4 ELA Regents: Critical Lens

Objective: Students will comprehend, analyze "quote/critical lens," and apply it to two works of literature

“To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else.”
—Bernadette Devlin
The Price of My Soul, 1969

"To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else" was quoted by Bernadette Devlin. I agree with the quote that to gain something you desire, some sacrifices will have to be made. The book Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs and How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents By Julia Alvarez show that in order for the characters to gain what they desire they first have to make some sacrifices.




“I like flawed characters because somewhere in them I see more of the truth.”
— Nicolas Cage
“His Truth is Out There”from Los Angeles Times,November 12, 2000


"I like flawed characters because somewhere in them I see more of the the truth." was quoted by Nicolas Cage. I agree with the quote that imperfect characters are not what they seem you can see the truth coming out. The play The Crucible by Arthur Miller and the book The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger shows that imperfect characters can show the truth by simply the way they act around people.

You explained why you agreed with the quotes but that won't be enough to cover for an interpretation. You just have to write down what you think the quote means. Everything else was done perfectly.

Very nice blog!
I liked how you interpreted your quotes, but you should of also included if rather you agree of disagree with the quote.
