10-15 Things that I learned from "Pilgrim at Tinder Creek" by Annie Dillard:
Chapter Four: The Fixed
1. This chapter still takes place in February.
2. Dillard talks about how it is hard to see shadows, but that it is easy to see light and darkness (enlightenment).
3. Dillard refers back to her previous chapters for themes, such as galaxies and cosmos.
4. There was a good amount of similes, metaphors, oxymorons, and juxtapositions in this chapter.
5. Dillard uses colors for her adjectives to describe or compare something.
Example: pg 56 "smooth green face"
6. A main theme in this chapter was that Dillard prefers to let nature be.
7. On page 58, she uses "pure white" as a color to suggest purity in nature, then uses "red clay" to suggest pain, blood. Dillard is using a couple of warmer colors in this chapter.
8. I learned what a concertina is.
9. Dillard used rhyme on page 59, "catch the hatch".
10. I learned that the number "three" is known in religion as perfectness or holiness.
