Using Details to Develop Character


Description

In this lesson, students analyze pages 399–410 of “The Overcoat” from The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol, in which Akaky Akakievich learns that his old overcoat cannot be repaired and he must commission the tailor, Petrovich, to sew a new one. Student analysis focuses on Akaky Akakievich’s interactions with his co-workers, with Petrovich the tailor, and with his new overcoat. Students consider how Gogol continues to develop Akaky Akakievich’s character through specific details.
