UNIT 3 #12

1.) I did this by taking quotes from stories and explaining what it has to do with something.

2.) I did this by writing my own story. I made my own theme and made is realism.

UNIT 3 #11

a) Realism

b)Bill is on the road of loosing everything. You may ask why this is? Bill has officially lost his job due to economic problems we are having. He is now poor like the people in the ghetto. He is really skinney like a stick from lack of eating. Bill is nothing with no job and no money. He could even remind you of them homeless people who lives under th bridges. He no longer showers like the jamaicans. So this means he looks very oily like greace. Now Bill has no life, and no future. He has nothing left to do.

C) This is realism by the social issue being economic problems. People losing their jobs and having no life without money. Also by the man being described exactly how he is now that he lost his job. You can really picture how the man is suffering.

UNIT 3 #10

This would not be romanticism due to the thing where you do not have to use your imagination. This picture does not try to make you feel any better about what you see. So It obviously is realism. The picture is very ugly and disturbing. It shows you exactly how it is in the bathroom. It dont put things in there to try to get you to like it

UNIT 3 #9

Realism is made to disturb you not to make you feel better about things. You can say they tell it like it is not how you would expect it to be. The man in the story was suffering of being sick and whipped my Convey. Insted of imagining he specifically tells you how he was. "From the crown of my head to my feet, I was covered with blood; my shirt was stiff with blood. My legs and feet were torn in sundry places with briers and thorns, and were also covered with blood. I suppose I looked like a man who had escaped a den of wild beasts, and barely escaped them." This to me was very disturbing, but gave me a complete idea of what it was like being in his shoes.

The Battle with Mr. Convery social issue was slavery. "It was a glorious resurrection, from the tomb of slavery, to the heaven of freedom." This gives you an idea of how this man felt about slavery. Saying from the tomb of slavery is saying it was horrible. Throughout the story he describes how awful it is being a slave and how he didn't want to be one. Luckily we have now changed the laws where we no longer have cruel things like this going on.

UNIT 3 #8

Kate chopin was a realist, because she didn't want her readers to use their imagination. She gives very specific details so that we will know exactly how she felt at the time. Such as this qhoute."When she abandoned herself a little whispered word escaped her slightly parted lips. She said it over and over under her breath: "free, free, free!" The vacant stare and the look of terror that had followed it went from her eyes. They stayed keen and bright. Her pulses beat fast, and the coursing blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her body." This shows the joy she had knowing that her husband would no longer be there. It helps you feel the same way she did at that point in time.

The social issue in this story was that husband's were controling their wifes. Kat never specifically said this was the problem, but saying she felt free showed what she was trying to say. Back in the day this was not a problem to anyone, it was actually normall. Now it is against the law, and you could be arrested for it. such as when she says "There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself. There would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature. A kind intention or a cruel intention made the act seem no less a crime as she looked upon it in that brief moment of illumination."

UNIT 3 #7

1.)I used evidence by taking quotes from piece of writings to illustrate my understanding of the dark romantics were arguing with the transcendentalist about there is evil in people.

2.)I always found the theme by finding the whole point of what the author is trying to say. Such as in the poem Raven the whole point was that there was evil in people's minds.

3.)One example i used was relating the poem Raven to Transcendentalist. i showed how what the transcendentalist say is not always the truth.

UNIT 3 #6

The Bird...

I believe it is the bird, because the bird symbolizes the evil and depression the man is feeling.

"On this home by Horror haunted--tell me truly, I implore--
Is there--is there balm in Gilead?--tell me--tell me, I implore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."


This quote shows how the raven tells him nothing but bad.

UNIT 3 #5

The poem seemed at first really pointless to me. As I started to understand it I started to realize what the whole point of the poem was. The most interesting thing to me was how you can tell all the pain the guy felt for loosing his wife. It can be sad but at the same time interesting. The bird in this poem really made it interesting.

The poem describes anti-Transcendental by showing that people can really be evil. The bird in this poem took the intuition of the man. The transcendentalist believed that god was the one who controlled all that, but in this poem that was not the case. They would believe this story was completely stupid, and never could happen.

"And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor shall be lifted, Nevermore." This quote explains how there is evil and depression within the guy. Transcendentalist did not believe there was any evil, depression, insanity etc. in anyone. There is no bird in this world that can talk like this one did in this poem. So that just tells you it was the guys head telling him this stuff. Well the transcendentalist believed everyones mind was completely perfect and this mans wasn't.

UNIT 3 #3 and 4

"The Black Cat"

This story to me was very interesting. He wrote everything to where it actually felt as if you were there. It seemed like i could really picture everything that happened. I even did not want to stop reading. The story also helps you learn something.

It has to do with Dark Romantics by showing that people are the ones who do evil. They do not do it, because god wanted them to. The guy had a really strong guilt yet went back and did the crime again. This tells you it was all him. There is no possible way god would want a person to take another persons life and that is exactly what he did. The Transcendantalists believed nothing like this could happen, because everyone does nothing but good. This proves what they say is wrong. The guy also did have alot of guilt for what he did which means he know he didn't do something good.

"For months I could not rid myself of the phantasm of the cat;"

UNIT 3 #2

I would have to say I am more on the Dark Romantics side. I do believe in original sin, and everything that comes with it. I believe everything someone does is not because god wanted you to, but because it was your decision. I also do not believe that our mind is a powerful thing. I believe god gave it to us to know what were doing.

UNIT 3 #1

The standard to means that students write essays, narratives, poems, or technical documents to make them understand better. They put in a way to help them recognize what they are writing. This maybe by using writings which come easy to them.

I will do this by for one writing more, and for two learning how to write different things.

Unit 2 # 7

The guy from the video Wilderness is an example of transcendentalist, because he seperates himself from people and do something he wants to do. For years and years he lived in the forest surviving from things around him. He made himself a part of nature like transcendentalist believe we all are.

"Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist".

Unit 2 # 6 Self-Reliance

The transindintalist like this story believed you should b your own person. You should not try to be like someone else because this just makes you be like god wanted someone else to be. They both also believe that every individuals mind is a really great thing. They believe that god gave you a mind to do the things he wanted you to do.
"A foolish consistency is the hobgolin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines".
This quote means that you are stupid if you try being like someone else.

Unit 2 # 5 Self Reliance

This story sorta reminds me of myself. I dont do as other people do I do what I feel I want to. I also do not try to be like anyone else. Being like other people is you not being yourself. I out of alot of people is not afraid to be myself whether I stand out or not. If the world was like this we all would be unique in our own little way.

"Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members".
This quote means that everyone trys to be like one another.
