The document provides examples of onomatopoeic words like splash, boom, honk, moo, neigh, clap, waah, quack, shhh, ruuff, and meow that mimic the sounds made by things like water, thunder, cars, cows, horses, babies, ducks, kids, dogs, and cats.

The dramatic monologue became a popular poetic form in the Victorian period, especially through the works of Robert Browning.

Contemporary poets, including many women, have also used the dramatic monologue to give voice to mythical or historical figures' perspectives.
Theme
The document discusses what theme is and how to identify it in a work of fiction. It states that theme is the central insight or controlling idea that an author aims to convey, and exists when a story attempts to accurately portray life or reveal some truth about it. To find theme, one can analyze how the protagonist changes, the central conflict and its resolution, and whether the title has significant meaning. When writing about theme, it should be expressed as a generalization about life rather than using character names or story specifics, and avoid absolute terms like "every" or "always." Theme statements must be supported by and not contradicted by the story's details.

Modernism
Fall 2013 Modernism Lecture PPT Presentation. Combined with a short activity on death tolls and impacts on Europe, this PPT was very powerful and students were hooked.
Existentialism
The document discusses several key aspects of existentialist philosophy:
1. Existentialism emphasizes individual freedom and responsibility - people have complete freedom to determine their own fate through conscious choices. This means the self is always becoming rather than a fixed essence.
2. With no inherent meaning, the individual must create their own meaning and purpose in life. Morality is also subjective rather than imposed from outside authorities.
3. Existentialist thinkers like Sartre, Camus, and Heidegger explored themes of absurdity, anxiety, authenticity, and finding meaning in a world without inherent purpose or design. They rejected religious and ideological authorities in favor of personal responsibility.
Reconstruction to booker t
The document summarizes the period of Reconstruction from 1865-1919 following the Civil War and abolition of slavery. It discusses the challenges of remaking the country to align more closely with the Constitution, including establishing societal roles for formerly enslaved people and protecting the rights of other marginalized groups. Contraband camps provided refuge for escaped slaves, while Black Codes and Jim Crow laws imposed racial segregation and suppressed Black civil rights. The rise of African American literature during this time helped shape social and political aspirations. Figures like Booker T. Washington advocated for industrial education and economic advancement through accommodating white supremacy with his Atlanta Compromise and works like Up From Slavery.
Asian indian americans
The document provides statistics on Asian Indian immigration to the US between 1899-1920, with most immigrants coming from Punjab, India and being Sikh (85%) or Muslim (13%). The Immigration Act of 1917 and 1924 placed restrictions and quotas on Indian immigration. The 1923 US v. Bhagat Singh Thind Supreme Court ruling deemed East Indians ineligible for citizenship. This was reversed by the 1946 Luce-Celler Act, which allowed naturalization of Indians and set an immigration quota of 100 per year.
Harlem renaissance great migration and inner cities
The Great Migration saw over 6 million African Americans relocate from the rural South to Northern and Western cities between 1916-1970. This mass movement had a huge impact on urban life as Black Americans built new communities and cultures while confronting economic and social challenges in the cities. The Harlem Renaissance emerged from this period, as the "New Negro" movement encouraged cultural pride and independence among African Americans. However, migrants still faced hardships like poor housing and racism in their new urban homes.

How to Read and Understand Poetry in 5 Easy Steps
- 2. WHAT IS POETRY ANYWAY? • Meaning: what makes it poetry and not something else? • Answer: Canned Soup?
- 3. Sometimes the job of the poem is to come closer to saying what cannot be said in other forms of writing, to suggest an experience, idea, or feeling that you can know but not entirely express in any direct or literal way. How does it evoke that feeling? • Word and line arrangements • Sounds and rhythms • Meanings of words (literal and figurative language)
- 4. Examining a Poem 1. Before reading a poem there are a few things you can do: • Look at the title • Examine its shape (lines, line breaks, and the way lines are broken into groups= stanzas) • And the length of lines (dense- on a physical level) • Does it look like other poems by this writer?
- 5. Reading a Poem • Before anything else, you gotta read it. • Poetry is meant to be heard, so use your voice and your ears!
- 6. How do you read a poem? • Lines – – – – – Meaning Sound Rhythm Breath Typography/Font styles – But what if its not so obvious??
- 7. What if it’s not so obvious? • End-stopped lineslines that end with punctuation • Lineation- grammar, breath, and line breaks • Reading to the end of a line or following breath.
- 8. What if I don’t have a good ear for this? Tricks in punctuation marks
- 10. Harlem by Langston Hughes What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore— And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over— like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode?
- 11. Peeling back the layers
- 12. 2. WHO IS THE SPEAKER?
- 13. Self-reliance 3. THEME AND TONE Change/growth Identity
- 14. 4. STYLE WHAT THE WRITER IS
- 15. Examining Style • IMAGERY – 5 Senses • Figurative Language – Concrete/Abstract – Connotation/Denotation • Symbolism • Punctuation/syntax – capitalization
- 16. Examining 5. Sound/Form • • • • • • • • Line Breaks Broken mid-clause (aka. enjambment) End-stopped (pauses or caesuras) First and last words Rhyme/rhythm Stanza length/breaks Repetition Traditional Forms (ballad, sestina, sonnet, etc.)
- 17. Let’s look at the whole meaning
- 18. Here are a few general questions that you might ask when approaching a poem for the first time: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • " " " " " " " " " " " " " " Who is the speaker? What circumstances gave rise to the poem? What situation is presented? Who or what is the audience? What is the tone? What form, if any, does the poem take? How is form related to content? Is sound an important, active element of the poem? Does the poem spring from an identifiable historical moment? Does the poem speak from a specific culture? Does the poem have its own vernacular? Does the poem use imagery to achieve a particular effect? What kind of figurative language, if any, does the poem use? If the poem is a question, what is the answer?
- 19. QUESTIONS?
