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 ; 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.
