Practice IOC outline- The moons of Jupiter.

This passage is from the Moons of Jupiter and is part of Alice Munro's collection of. This was published in her career in 2004, and this passage is significant as it sets the scene and situation of the passage and overarching meaning of the text, which is how the father holds the gravitational pull on his family members, which are the moons of Jupiter and how they orbit around him because he is in a near death experience. This title is very significant to this notion of a Jupiter orbit. This is not a chronological plot and narration, and characterises the father. Its literary features mostly encompass' Janet's emotion in stressful situations the sentences don't flow and are exaggerated. I will be conducting this in a Sequential Order. 


First Chunk

  • Starts off which the hospital scenery and the wires stitched to the father's chest. Immediately tone is set within line 2.Portraying own personal narrative.
  • Line 3 is a metaphor about Janet's emotions, which Munro uses to exaggerate the meaning of the text.
  • This is calm and optimistic shows the relationship between the Father's relationship between Janet and her father. 


Second Chunk: Characterization
  • This shows characterisation because It shows the relationship between the Janet's father a
  • Also how Janet describes the author in the magazine shows the Father's characterisation. As he describes how Janet does not appreciated how her father often compares his daughter to others and is never satisfied. 

Third Chunk


  • This is not a chronological narrative, because the narrator now goes back to Janets drive to Dalgleish and to get him back to Toronto. This is characterisation of Janet because she overlooks things, including the message from the experience. 
  • Munro's uses figurative language is reflected in this final passage of in its sequential structure. Many metaphor's are used. Janet's emotional state acting calm shows the relationship between her father and her and how at a time like this, the father acts as a gravitational pull of Jupiter towards its moon.

Munro uses characterisation and the literary features to consider the full implication of this time during her career, showing structural embodiment within the passage. Overall, this situates the passage situation and Janets emotion within the story, through the Narrative, which is why it is symbolic within the text.
