Extra Credit: Pirates

I just finished watching "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl." Let's review the major sections of a short story or novel, i.e. climax, exposition, dialogue, protagonist, etc. Also if you recognized a Biblical allusion, please share with the group. As always don't be afraid to refute another's post but be sure to use textual evidence to support your opinion.

Here's my idea to get us started:

The first scene of "Pirates" is shown like a prologue to a novel. It provides the background necessary to understand the different attitudes towards the pirates: Elizabeth is fascinated, Norrington is disgusted, and Gibbs uses for his own purposes.

Assignment 2: Things Fall Apart

Let's build our MWDS by providing items for the blocks. Remember that you may or may not agree with other submitted items. Feel welcome to refute another's item but be sure to support your comment with evidence from the text. Also some blocks of the MWDS are things that will need to be researched. (Note: I read cliff notes before assigning a book, do not copy these notes, but if you are struggling you may use as a resource.)

Here is a character:

Unoka, Initial Antagonist, Although Unoka does not actually appear in the book as a major character, as Okonkwo's father he presents the initial conflict by not providing for his family and helps begin the explanation to the reader about Okonkwo's attitudes toward laziness and manliness.
