unit nine

 # 1
 - I belive this unit will be about being able to identify the themes of realism.
Being able to tell the difference between detail and abstract.
Also being able to talk about social problems.
- I think detail is more effective than abstract being that you can see more and know what your looking at with reason wich abstract is the total opposite you have to use your imgaination .


# 2
 a. ''  -This shows How the story gave great detail. 
Ex.She sat with her head thrown back upon the cushion of the chair, quite motionless, except when a sob came up into her throat and shook her, as a child who has cried itself to sleep continues to sob in its dreams.
She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength. But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought. ''

b .  - Chopin was tryna show that back then wemon wasn't treated like adults in Marriages they were told what to do by their husbands and was expected to obey.
 Ex.
And yet she had loved him--sometimes. Often she had not. What did it matter! What could love, the unsolved mystery, count for in the face of this possession of self-assertion which she suddenly recognized as the strongest impulse of her being!

#3
 A .  - This shows the detail in story
 I had not gotten far my little strength again failed me.
 I could go no farther. I fell down , and lay for considerable time. The blood was yet oozing from the wound on my head. I thought I should bleed to death.

b. Douglass was trying confront you with the social problem of slavery. Ex
 - '' I nerved myself up againm and statrted on my way , through bogs and briers , barefooted and bare headed, tearing my feet sometimes nearly at everystep.''
 this Quote shows how douglass walked seven miles to only have his master send him back without eating and only gave him salts for  his exhaustation.

3.
  - . she closes her eyes, but the images are ingraved 
     in her head. She could see the girl who had nothing more than Hopes clenching on to the dreams that society has told her wasn't possible. She could hear the cries of the Mother who struggled to keep a grip on her a son that no longer thought that God could hear his prayers. She could feel the sorrow of the Father that stood behind bars knowing that there was a child searching for the love he could never give.
 - My work shows realism because it shows a basic society problem and tells in details whats happening and makes the reader uncomfortable with what their reading.
Closure
 I was able to show realism by writting my own creative piece and being able to read both stories and understand that realism shows lots of detail and being able to understand both themes detail and exposing social problems.

unit Five

 #1.
- A theme is the broad idea , message , or moral of the story.
  Imagination is important because it appeals to the mind more than logic thinking.


2. The part of the story i found truley romantic was the part where Rip had wonderd in to the woods. It all had the three parts of romanticism. Imagination and nature.
 '' The bottom filled with fragments from the impending cliffs, and scarcely lighted by the reflected rays of the setting sun''.  This example shows how the scence of the woods appealed to nature.
'' Rip Van Wickle , Rip Van wickle'' ? He looked around but could see nothing but a crow winging its solitary flight across the mountain '' - This shows how the text appealed to imagination by making the reader think that theres a ghost.

3. TO him who in the love of Nature holds

Communion with her visible forms, she speaks

A various language; for his gayer hours

She has a voice of gladness, and a smile

And eloquence of beauty,

- This examples shows how the poem appeals to nature and imagination two elements of
 romanticism. It shows nature speaking to the reader it personifies nature (Personification requires your imagination it wouldn't appeal to an logic person.)! It shows that death is apart of nature.

 

Yet not to thine eternal resting-place

Shalt thou retire alone, nor couldst thou wish

Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down

With patriarchs of the infant world--with kings,

The powerful of the earth--the wise, the good,

Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past,

All in one mighty sepulchre.

- This example appeals to common people the element of romanticism by stating that even the aristochrats will be the same as common people in death they will all be the same dirt.




5. - '' Nature''
 Reading this story reminds me of the most place I love to be and thats in my room.
 I do alot of thinking and just being away from the world and to be alone and get alot of thinking done.
 '' The sun iiluminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child''
 This quote explains how nature appeals more to a child than it would a grown man. Because the child still has imagination and can understand the importance and beauty of nature
6.
 '' Self Reliance''
 This is apppeals to transcendentalism because it shows all of the elements.
  - it shows that you should rely on self wich relates to the believe that the mind was the most
 powerful thing in the universe.


7. '' The sun iiluminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child''
 This quote explains how nature appeals more to a child than it would a grown man. Because the child still has imagination and can understand the importance and beauty of nature
 The video relates to this quote becasue even though the man was not a child he steal appealed to nature like one . He still understood the beauty and appreciated nature like only a child would .
 Closer
 I believe the work I've done appeal to the Georgia standards because it shows
 that I can identify and analyze knowledge from American Literature. Also my work elevates the authors choice of words to show the theme and mood.

Unit Four

Number One ; I expect that this unit will be about finding the logic reasoning that things were written. Understanding the difference between reasonand emotion , Finding how authors use reason as a persuasive tool.

Number Two ;  The difference between the Puritans and rationalist . The puritans believed everything was controlled by God and nothing could be controlled by reason but the rationalist thought other wise , they thought if they keep track of their behavior they could change the believe of the Puritans that only certain people

Number Three ; I think the reason for Ben Franklin writting this was to show the puritians if they used logic thinking over emotions they could control their behavior and show that the believe of God was the only that could control what they did was not a hundred percent true. He unlike Equiano used a chart over emotion wich charts are logical in nature and emotions are felt.


Number Four 
dont rush anything be patient and it will happen
being able to comprehend even when things are hard and complicated.
 do not envy others
 dont put off till tomorrow what you cant do today
  never trouble another for what you cant do yourself
 nothing is troublesum that we do willingly
 never spend your money before you have it.
 pride cost us more than hunger, thirst and cold.
  avoid trifiling conversation
do not tolerate unclealiness

unit three ; Number Six And Closing

Number Six ; This Narrative was basically about how slave trading was a dramatic period of time. Olaudah explains how people are kidnapped and taken away from their families to become slaves. He goes into detail and tells how he was kidnapped and taken to be traded as a slave .
Emotion;
'' The next day proved a day of greater sorrow than I had yet experienced, for my sister and I were then seperated while we lay clasped in each other's arms.''


Closing ; I believe my works reflect the georgia performance standards. I understood how reasoning and emotions could be used in the narratives and I can analyze different parts of poems .

Unit Three

 Number Five ; Basically this poem is about a women praying for husband to be the one let into heaven. Since the belief of the puritians was that only certain people was allowed to go to heaven and the rest would be sent to held.

Number Four ;   Metaphor; The Black clouds of god wraths form above your head
  its comparing gods anger and a storm.

Number Three;  The sermon used more emotions than resons because they relied on more of what the puritians feeled or beilieved in. They tried scaring people saying that God only saved certain people and this was outta emotion not reason. 

Nmuber Two ;    I found alot of differences between the native americans and the puritians. The Native Americans believed that animals were the gods that started the earth, as far as the puritians they believed that god made the earth.

          
Number One ;
 I belive this unit will touch on understanding more literary work and being able to analyze and identify elements of a poem and analyzes reasons and emotions in a persuasive literary work.

            

Unit Two ; Closure

Yes, my work analyzes and addresses the essential questions and the standards of unit two. I read two different journal entries one from John Smith & ' another from Christopher Columbus  and found the places where their was subjective and objective views.

Unit Two ; Number Three

Sometimes when your telling a story and you stretch the truth it takes away the reliability of the story. This is why I agree that biased writings do take away from the meaning because once you stretch the truth how is everything else supposed to be relied on to be the truth . Some of the things that are stretched out or seemed just to make the story better or make something look better than it is.

In the Journal of John Smith there were many times where he put more of subjective perspectives than objective. There were a lot of Times when he made things More then what they really should have been. '' ''Each hour expecting the fury of the savages; when God, the patron of all good endeavors, in that desperate extremity so changed the hearts of the savages that they brought such plenty  of their fruits and provision as no man wanted'' . This is an example of where John exaggerates the truth.

Number Two ; Unit Two

Christopher Columbus ; From the Journal of the First Voyage to America




1. ''  I saw a snake, wich we killed , and i have kept the skin for your Highness.
       - Objective
 He states facts on what he saw thats why this one is objective


2. '' In meeting with the king , in oder to see if i can acquire any of the gold, wich i hear he possesses.''
      - Subjective
 He puts more of his opinion instead of facts thats why its subjective

Jhon Smith ; What Happened to the first supply

1. '' scarce ten amongst us could either go or well stand'' .
     This sentence is objective because he's stating facts of what was going on.

 2.  ''Each hour expecting the fury of the savages; when God, the patron of all good endeavors, in that desperate extremity so changed the hearts of the savages that they brought such plenty  of their fruits and provision as no man wanted''
 - This is subjective because he uses more of opinion and his feelings than Facts.

Number One; Unit Two

I believe this unit will be about being able to find when someones being objective and subjective in  a biography or a fiction document , and knowing the primary adavantages and disadvantages of being a secondary source and being a primary source.

Closure For Unit One

In American Literature we still use mythic, traditional and classical influences by telling stories that are remembered form childhood. One of the myths that was read was Creation tales that could be compared to the Adam & Eve.  We used Old Myths to trace the history of American Fiction by reading Oral Myths of different tribes and writing about them.

# 5

5.
I Choose to read one one of the Cherokee myths . This explained the beginning of life and how everything became what it is today.   According to the myth in the beginning of time earth was a dark island that hung from the sky , there were only animals and plants.  The animals couldn’t see since it was always dark so they got the sun and put it in a path so it could move east and west of the island.  Then One day the great spirit came and told the plants and animals to stay awake for seven nights and seven days some of the animals could not and they slept. So the great spirit awarded the ones that did not sleep and made them green all year and the ones that did sleep lost their colors and leaves during the winter. The animals that did not sleep was giving the award with the ability to go about in the dark. It seemed that  plants were important in this Myth . ''Those plants that did stay awake, such as the pine and cedar and those few others were rewarded by being allowed to remain green all year''.  I didn't really find any similarities with the Myths that we already read except that most of them are about the begining of the world and many times animals are the first ones on earth.

# 4

. This Myth was about the creation of the world. Things that seemed important in this story was the birds &' animals, they were the ones who where trying to pull up the earth from deep in the ocean .  "I will bring up Earth or die trying." They all looked to see who it was. It was little Muskrat . The smallest of all the animals was the bravest ones the little muskrat was determined to pull up  earth .

Unit One ; Number two

2. The example I Chose was the story of the creation of the world. In this Myth they tell a storey of another world that dis behaved so the great creator destoryed the world and the only suvivor was a crow, who begged the creator for another world.  Finally the Great Creator Felt it was time for a new world so he began to creating the world. He placed the animals and people all around , He cried Tears on the land to make the ocean , lakes , and streams. He gave the people his bag of many creations and told them to live the way they were supposed or he will too destory that world.

Unit One # 1

#1 . I believe this unit will be about the history of American Fiction and the way we still interpret myths, Traditional and classical literature into American literature.  Using the purpose of the Oral story can tell what was important to each tribe.  We use many Oral traditions one that I know well of is the story of Adam &’ Eve.
