Party
After receiving wilderness training in
Washington D.C., Meriwether Lewis set
out on July 5, 1803, picked up guns at
Harpers Ferry, Virginia, and then
moved to Pittsburgh to pick up a 55foot keelboat. Floating it down the
Ohio, he met with Clark in Indiana,
who took over command of the boat
and crew, while Lewis then rode on to
get supplies in St. Louis. Months later,
in May, the entire party gathered in St.
Louis. The forty-some men were to
travel from there to the Pacific Ocean in
only the keelboat and two smaller
boats, all of which were moved by sails,
towropes, poles, or oars.

Graffiti Activity
Each table will be assigned one of the following: (1) character
development, (2) thematic development, (3) symbolism, (4)
conflict, and (5) irony.
You will be given 10 minutes to find an example from the text
and write it on the corresponding poster board. You will
switch to another topic after your time is up.
Example:
“In a moment, however, wisely judging that one token of her shame
would but poorly serve to hide another, she took the baby on her arm,
and, with a burning blush, and yet a haughty smile, and a glance that
would not be abashed, looked around at her townspeople and
neighbors. On the breast of her gown, in fine red cloth, surrounded
with an elaborate embroidery and fantastic flourishes of gold thread,
appeared the letter A” (Chapter 2, Page 10).
This quote portrays the symbolism of the “A,” as it portrays Hester’s
individualism and strength.
