English 11.4 The student will read, comprehend, and analyze relationships among American literature, history, and culture. Post their presentations to the library website for everyone to enjoy. They can present their designations (with textual evidence) using a presentation tool that others can navigate independently, like Haiku Deck or Emaze. When they have finished reading, they should categorize all of the characters using traditional character archetypes. This could be done as a group using a collaboration site like Mindmeister. Try a sample excerpt from Audible. Listen during the day to prevent nightmares.Ĭharacter Archetypes: As students read, they should keep a character chart with descriptions of their characters and evidence from the story. Kirby Heyborne, the audiobook narrator, does a fantastic job of portraying all the voices and even the sound effects, like Scowler's throaty, scratchy growls and Marvin's incessant, repetitive humming. The audiobook version is highly recommended.
The violence and gore may be too extreme for readers under sixteen, but older teens who are lovers of horror will be drawn in immediately. Several questions are raised about the Burke family: Why is this happening to them? Can they stick together and survive the father who terrorized their lives? Is Ry more like his father than he realized? Young Adult fiction is rarely as frightening and thought-provoking as this novel. Ry has to decide what is real and what is imaginary, and how he can use his friends to his advantage. Furrington, Jesus Christ, and Scowler-were a comfort to him when he escaped his death years ago, and they come back to help him in his new crisis. Ry is still struggling with emotional and psychological scars, and with a nearby prison break and the threat of his father returning, the family is in turmoil. When a meteorite falls on their farm, it is only one of the things they must worry about. His abusive father Marvin has been in prison for the past eight years for trying to murder Ry.
An intense psychological horror story, Scowler is about 19-year-old Ry Burke, who lives on his family's farm with his mother Jo Beth and little sister Sarah.
