3 Writing Prompt All Alone 12/12/2016 Mark Twain once said, The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with oneself. What do you think he meant by this? Does this idea apply to your own life? Conclude your entry by explaining how you feel about being alone. Do you dread it, or do you enjoy having time to yourself?
4 American Romanticism Unit Objectives Students will be able to understand that romantic literature is a journey away from the corruption of society and the limits of rational thought toward the integrity of nature and the freedom of the imagination. American Romanticism broke into two separate journeys: an exploration of the past and of exotic or supernatural realms and the contemplation of the natural world. It introduced a hero completely different than all previous heroes he was youthful, innocent, intuitive, close to nature and uneasy with women. Essential Questions: How does American Romantic literature reflect, clarify, and criticize the time it portrays? How do the selections express the shared qualities of the beliefs and cultures of the time period? How does Romantic literature differ from Early American literature?
5 Alliteration common in poetry and occasionally in prose, this is the repetition of an initial sound in two or more words of a phrase, line, or sentence. It is usually a consonant and marks the stressed syllables in a line of poetry or prose. EXAMPLE: Whereat, with blade, with bloody blameful blade, He bravely broached his boiling bloody breast. ~A Midsummer Night s Dream by William Shakespeare Modern examples: Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck
6 Personification a figure of speech in which abstractions, animals, ideas, and inanimate objects are endowed with human form, character, traits, or sensibilities. An entirely imaginary creature or person also may be conceived of as representing an idea or object. Like a metaphor, personification is a frequent resource in poetry. A colloquial example of personification is when one refers to a car as she. Another example of personification is the wind shrieked through the window.
7 Paradox a statement that is apparently self-contradictory or absurd but really contains a possible truth. Sometimes the term is applied to a self-contradictory false proposition. It is also used to describe an opinion or statement which is contrary to generally accepted ideas. Often, a paradox is used to make a reader consider the point in a new way. An example of paradox is contained in Caesar s speech from Shakespeare s Julius Caesar: Cowards die many times before their deaths. Act II, scene ii : line 32
8 Slant Rhyme rhyme in which either the vowels or the consonants of stressed syllables are identical, as in eyes, light; years, yours. Example: Talib Kweli from his song Memories Live. Yo it kind of make me think of way back when, I was a portrait of the artist as a young man, All those teenage dreams of rapping, Writing rhymes on napkins, Was really visualization, making this here actually happen, The rhyme scheme is A - slanted A - B - slanted B - slanted B Yo it kind of make me think of way back when, (A) I was a portrait of the artist as a young man, (slanted A) all those teenage dreams of rapping, (B) writing rhymes on napkins, (slanted B) was really visualization, making this here actually happen, (slanted B)
9 End Rhyme in poetry, a rhyme that occurs in the last syllables of verses. Example: Robert Frost s Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening : Whose woods these are I think I know, His house is in the village, though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow.
10 Meter/Rhythm & Iambs In poetry, the meter or metre is the basic rhythmic structure of a verse. Many traditional verse forms prescribe a specific verse meter, or a certain set of meters alternating in a particular order. An iamb or iambus is a metrical foot used in various types of poetry. Originally the term referred to one of the feet of the quantitative meter of classical Greek prosody: a short syllable followed by a long syllable (as in i- amb). Iambic Tetrameter Four Iambs
11 Sample Iambic Tetrameter Behold her, single in the field, Yon solitary Highland Lass! Reaping and singing by herself Stop here, or gently pass! Alone she cuts and binds the grain, And sings a melancholy strain; O listen! for the vale profound Is overflowing with the sound. ~from The Reaper by William Wordsworth
12 Emily Dickinson December 10, May 15, 1886 (Bright s Disease/Kidney Disease) Amherst, Massachusetts After the death of her father (in 1874), Dickinson withdrew from the world, never leaving the grounds of her father s house and, according to legend, dressing only in white. After her death, her sister Lavinia discovered almost two thousand poems written on small slips of paper and sewn together in little booklets. One of these was I felt a Funeral, in my Brain. These poems were published in a number of editions (with many textual variants) until the definitive three-volume edition of her poems was released in
