Initial Activities for Total Eclipse by Annie Dillard

1. Number your paragraphs to support references during discussion
2. Discuss the focus of each of the four parts of the essay. For each,
a. Describe / discuss how the author chose to discuss her experience in this part of the essay. How do these topics, details, and insights reveal different aspects of her experience?
b. Support your characterizations and conclusions with specific examples from the text (quotes are best).
3. What does the author seek to accomplish with this discussion?
4. Identify passages where the author uses diction choices to establish or develop her meaning and message.
