Read the standard at least twice and begin thinking about what you may be asked to do before you are through with this unit. Once you are done thinking:.
1. Create a post on your blog titled "Unit Three", and then explain what you believe the above standard means, and then go further by explaining what you think you will need to do to meet this particular standard.
1. What is original sin? Original sin is when adam and eve first sinned and thats how we became sinners because we took some of their sins and inherited in us.
2. How did the Transcendentalists feel about it? They were against religion and believed that GOD had communicated with them through nature and through peoples minds. The Transcendentalists also had believed that every human being was good and pure. The Transcendentalists did not believe that institutions like the government or organized religion were effective. They didnt believe that Adam and Eve did those things.
3. Read either "The Black Cat" or "Hop-Frog", both by Edgar Allen Poe. As you read, keep the Dark Romantics' beliefs in mind because you will be asked to point out these beliefs in the story later. You can also choose to listen to "The Masque of Red Death" below; if you do, be sure to read the text as you listen:
4. Write a 2-3 paragraph response to the story you read. You should explain what you thought of the story as well as how well it illustrates how the Dark Romantics disagreed with the Transcendantalists. You need to provide at least a line or two of direct textual evidence from the story you chose to prove your claim.
I didn't like this story because of the fact that he was killing people and that it's a very evil story and I don't like anything evil.
This is true with Dark Romanticism because it show how people can be evil and good. The reason why I say this because it shows in the story that he was a good and happy person in the begining of the story. Then later on in the story the Dark Romanticism had took over him and made him evil by killing a cat and his wife. He didn't care about what he did was cruel. Thats how I see that this story is true.The Trancedentalists believed that the intuitions is that GOD can only speak good things through your mind and not evil bad things. The story showed that there is an intuition of Dark Romanticism and that there is also evil too. Why i think that is because of the fact that the man had killed a cat. His intuition says, "The fury of a demon possessed me."
5. Once of Poe's most famous works was "The Raven", a poem he wrote while his second wife was literally dying in the next room. Read the poem (more than once), and then write a response (at least two paragraphs) that includes a few lines that stuck out to you. Add another paragraph or two that should explain how this poem represents an anti-Transcendental idea. As always, responses with direct evidence are always better than those that do not.
I didn't like this because it has a bird that symbolizes death,sadness, and anything else that had to with death. Another reason why I didn't like this poem is because of the fact that it was evil and it is talking about the evil part of the Dark Romanticism.
One part of the poem that struck out to me is when he was sitting in the I guess living room reading a book almost napping when someone had started knocking on his door at midnight and when he had opened the door there wasn't anyone there. Another part of the poem that struck out to me is when he had open his window a crow called The Raven flew in sat on an scupture and took control over is mind, and when he had asked th crow what was his name he quoted, "Nevermore."
6. A symbol is something (usually an object) that stands for a much larger idea. Poe uses symbolism very weill in "The Raven". Can you identify it, and then support what you say with some evidence and analysis? I know you can.
The raven symbolizes death, and sadness. The reason why i say this because Poe had figured out that the crow was not helping him get over the sadness of the death of his wife he was trying to make him even more miserable than what he already was and he didn't understand why was the crow doing this to him.
7. Check these out. If you are doing what you should, you are addressing all three (and even more) in this unit. Using your word as DIRECT evidence (cut and paste from your own post) tell me how you are meeting these standards.
"Wretch," I cried, "thy GOD hath lent thee-by these angels he hath sent thee Respite-respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore; Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!"
ELAALRL1 The student demonstrates comprehension by identifying evidence (i.e., examples of diction, imagery, point of view, figurative language, symbolism, plot events and main ideas) in a variety of texts representative of different genres (i.e., poetry, prose [short story, novel, essay, editorial, biography], and drama) and using this evidence as the basis for interpretation
Yes i provided evidence.If you look in number 7 it will show you that i have provided evidence for this lesson.
ELAALRL2 The student identifies, analyzes, and applies knowledge of theme in a work of American literature and provides evidence from the work to support understanding.
yes i know what theme is. I know this because in the above lesson i showed how The Trencedentalists and The Dark Romanticism are different between each other.
ELAALRL3 The student deepens understanding of literary works by relating them to their contemporary context or historical background, as well as to works from other time periods.
I related The Trancendentalists and The Dark Romanticism from each other because they are different in a lot of ways. The Trendcendentalists believed that there was never an evil and that GOD only spoke good things through your mind. The Dark Romanticisms believed that there is an good and evil.
. Read "A Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin. You should be able to indentify the following in this story:
a. details that specifically explain a characters actions, or detailed descriptions of a setting
The Story Of An Hour
"Now her bosom rose and fell tumultuously.She was begining to recognize this thing that was approaching to possess her, and she was striving to beat it back with her will--as powerless as her two white slender hands would have been."
This is stating will this is a good example for realism because it's giving more details in the story than romanticism would have given. This is showing how she felt and the way she was breathing when she sat down in the chair.
The Battle with Mr.Covey (A.) He was working so hard, then he fell and couldn't get back up so Mr.Covey had hit him with a board in the head. " making a large wound, and the blood ran freely; and with this again told me to get up."
This quote is talking about how bad slavery was back then and Fredrick Douglas was giving an example of how it really was back then.He's telling me everything about how slavery went down back then.This is another good example of realism because it's explaing every little detail and imaginary doesn't.
b. a social issue that Chopin wants to solve
The Story Of An Hour
"FREE!Body and Soul FREE!" She was whispering to herself.
The Story Of An Hour is and good example because of the fact that she was saying that in the late 1800's wives back then were upset because they didn't have any freedom. Their husband's always took over their bodies and told them what to do. Louis was happy when she heard that her husband died cause she then had all the freedom and control that she didn't have when she was with her husband. She didn't have to worry about a man telling her what to do. Later on she had died when she had found out that her husband didn't die when he walked in the house. They said she died of happiness when her husband walked in the door, but that's not true she died of sadness,hurt, and shock because she didn't have freedom.
The Battle with Mr.Covey (B.)
The Battle with Mr.Covey is another good example of realism because he is showing us how slavery was back in the 1800's to the late 1960's-and early 1970's. Slavery was hard and cruel back then.Once Martin Luther King said that speech things was starting to change. Fredrick Douglas is telling everything that happened 2 him.This is why this is a good story and example for realism because he is trying to tell never have a slave because it's rough.
Write a paragraph respone to a and b in which you explain how this story includes these aspects of realism.
Each paragraph should have some direct evidence from "A Story of an Hour".
9. Read "The Battle with Mr Covey" by Frederick Douglass. Follow the same directions for #1. Go further on this one to explain what you think Douglass' purpose was for writing this. Your response should be three paragraphs.
10. Provide a modern example of realism (Boyz in tha Hood, and Menace II Society, for that matter are off-limits). This can be music, a movie, a television show, a book, or whatever you may choose. You need to explain how it is realism, and provide an example from your choice (a lyric, description of a scene, quote, etc.)
the example that i'm goingto be talking about is lyrics well a song. The song is called Im His Only Woman. This is an good example of realism because it's telling us that some men are dogs. This song is talking about how this man was cheating on his girl with another girl. This song is by Jennifer Hudson featuring Fantasia Barrino. Fantasia is the other girl she had called Jennifer to tell her that her man has been seeing her constantly and she didn't want to start nothing. This is an good example for realism because it's talking about every little detail about how much jennifer did for this man and Fantasia is just calling out the blue. Here is an quote from the lyrics for when they were on the phone talking.
"***Ring, ring***
J Hud: Hello?
Fantasia: Hello, ca-can I speak to Jennifer please?
J: Yes, this is Jennifer. May I ask who's calling?
F: Hi Jennifer. I'm Tony's girlfriend. I don't mean to call on that disrespectful stuff like ...
J: Wait a minute. Tony's girlfriend??? Apparently you got the wrong number because I'm Tony's woman, his only woman that is.
F: Well obviously that's what he's been telling you, but I'm calling right now to formally introduce myself. My name is Fantasia...
J: Did you just say introduce yourself?
F: Yeah...
J: Well I don't need no introduction. I am his woman and I am Jennifer Hudson. If this was ten years ago, I'd be at your front door ready to whoop your ass. But you know what? I'm too grown for that. I ain't got nothing else to say."
11. The fun part - - -
a. Decide what you like best, Dark Romanticism or Realism.
I like Realism because it's giving more details. The reason why I don't like Dark Romanticism because it's talking bad things and it don't give many details.
b. Create a short piece ( a poem or very short story) of whichever you choose.
There is this dude that i know his name is mark. Mark is an drug addict he doesn't know when to quit doing drugs. The type of drugs that Mark has been using since i known him is crack,heroin,marijuna,x and a lot more other drugs that i know of but don't know the name of it. Mark says that doing drugs is good for him because it relieves stress from his body and its helping him with a lot."I told Mark that the only thing that the drugs are doing is killing him. Its not helping him."He was using heroin by giving his self a shot in his arm. He was sniffing the crack i guess thats how you do it. He had bought an cigerello and put marijuana in it and rolled it up and smoked it.
This is a piece of realism because its explaining what he did and why he was doing it. This is an good example because he is showing us that there is more than using drugs to relieve stress.This story is giving a lot of details about what he was using and what he did to get rid of stress. This nothing like imaginary details this story is showing more.
12. Explain (with DIRECT EVIDENCE FROM YOUR OWN WORK) how you have met (or exceeded) at least two of the standards listed below.
ELAALRL1 The student demonstrates comprehension by identifying evidence (i.e., examples of diction, imagery, point of view, figurative language, symbolism, plot events and main ideas) in a variety of texts representative of different genres (i.e., poetry, prose [short story, novel, essay, editorial, biography], and drama) and using this evidence as the basis for interpretation.
Yes. I used evidence from The Story of An Hour. I use evidence to show that this story was talking about how women wasn't free in the early 1800's to the late 1800's.
ELAALRL2 The student identifies, analyzes, and applies knowledge of theme in a work of American literature and provides evidence from the work to support understanding.
I identified the theme in Dark Romanticism. I identified the theme in realism, and i explain both of them and what they do. Dark Romanticism believed that there was an good and evil then what the trancendentalist did, they only belived that there was just good and no evil.
Realism believed that everything is real and it shows and give more detail than imaginary does. like a photgraph shows everything and a picture shows little detail you would have to imagine what is in the picture.
I related that The Story of An Hour and Jennifer Hudson song I'm his only woman relates with each other because it's showing that jennifer is free but her bf or husband cheated on her and The Story of An Hour is saying that women should be free.
ELAALRL4 The student employs a variety of writing genres to demonstrate a comprehensive grasp of significant ideas in selected literary works. The student composes essays, narratives, poems, or technical documents.
I met this standard because i wrote a story about this dude name mark who was a drug addict and it helped me understand what realism was and now that i understand it better i can write my own story or song or poem that is realism or real.
