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 .

 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!

 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.
