Pilgrim at Tinker Creek: Chapter Six- Part One

10-15 Things that I learned from "Pilgrim at Tinder Creek" by Annie Dillard:

Chapter Six: The Present

1. The first sentence in Chapter Six was italicized, and it was the same sentence as the last sentence of Chapter Five.

2. This chapter takes place in early March.

3. The phrase on page 79, "I am absolutely alone" Dillard was not actually alone, but actually she was alone in her own space.

4.  An alliteration on page 79, "alive and awesome with a brilliant blown lights" was a consonance alliteration.

5. I learned that lope is a slow jog.

6. On page 79, "purple vaults" the color purple is used as shadows.

7. A juxtaposition is found on page 79, and it was "the air cools; the puppy's skin is hot".

8. In Chapter Six, she goes from consciousness to self-consciousness.

9. Dillard thinks that innocence is like a hound. (conceit) 

10. On page 84, "color-patches" is a motif from Chapter Two: Seeing.
