Literature

Watch one (1) of the films listed below, (I would like to do it on The Hundred-Foot Journey). After careful consideration, discuss how that film explores one (just one) of the three main issues we’ve considered this semester. Analyze the film cinematically (specifically what we see and hear). Discuss specific shots, scenes, and sequences in terms of how their cinematic elements support your thesis. Weave all of this into a wonderful, fascinating, and coherent essay that makes me want to see the film again, enriched by your essay. This essay is only meant to be 1500 words. My professor changed just to mitigate the confusion. I assigned this to another writer two weeks ago and he didn’t complete it so I really need help on this.

Directions   –Read the following chapters in Essentials of Children’s Literature, 9th edition. –Chapter 8: “Fantasy and Science Fiction” –Chapter 9: “Realistic Fiction”   –Chapter 10: “Historical Fiction” –Chapter 12: “Literature for a Diverse Society” –Go to a library or a good book store. The GCC library has many Newbery Award winners on reserve for your perusal. You need to read three Newbery Award winning chapter books. I prefer you choose books that cover three different genres as explained in the chapters read for this assignment from our course textbook (example: one book that is fantasy, one that is historical, and one that is representing a diverse society). –Write a response for each of the three selections you read.   –Use “Reader Response Theory” to write your responses. Reader Response Theory is a theory that asserts in the end, it is the informed reader, the text in that reader’s hands, and the analysis that occurs which informs a reader.  Think about it this way: A response is your thoughtful reaction to the text. What did you like? What puzzled you? How do you think children would react?  How might you use these books and their themes in a classroom setting or at home?  Would the settings affect the approach? How do these works compare to other chapter books you have encountered? Above all, enjoy the books. They are award winners because they are the favorites of children, and I hope you’ll find inspiration therein as well.

INSTRUCTIONS- respond accordingly to the following text below ************************** Hello Class, I would like to begin an additional discussion here this week that touches on a modern controversial topic and debate, but one that I also believe is still very relevant to some of the literary and historic themes we have been studying… Emerson and Thoreau shared similar philosophies about the importance and power of nature, both in the human condition and within the overall existence of mankind. Although nature is unpredictable and can often seem to be unfair and even destructive (considering that the end of the natural course of life is ultimately death), these Transcendentalists focused on the renewing force of nature. They believed that by observing and understanding the perpetual and repeating cycle of nature, one can truly rejuvenate one’s soul, which can lead to emotional and spiritual rebirth during one’s lifetime. I believe that they considered this reckoning and accepting of the eventuality of nature as the key to human happiness and contentment. Here are two quotes from these authors that nicely and clearly represent their ideas: In “Circles” Emerson writes, “There is no end in nature, but every ending is a beginning; that there is always another dawn risen on mid-noon, and under every deep a lower deep opens. This fact, as far as it symbolizes the moral fact of the Unattainable, the flying Perfect, around which the hands of man can never meet…” In Walden’s “Pond in Winter,” Thoreau states, “Our notions of law and harmony are commonly confined to those instances we detect; but the harmony results from a far greater number of seemingly conflicting, but really concurring, laws, which we have not detected, is still more wonderful.” ADDITIONAL FORUM TOPIC There was much controversy a couple years ago about Dr. Walter Palmer hunting and killing a beloved South African lion named Cecil. Although the killing may have been technically legal, at the time, most people convicted him in the court of moral and public opinion (research past articles about this story if you need to refresh your memory). Considering last week’s discussion about natural law verses man-made or human law, which is the more relevant “law” represented in this case and why? Also, what do you think Emerson and Thoreau would have thought about this incident relative to their perception of nature and its relationship to humanity?

Answer the two following questions, when answering the two questions include these primary poems below in your response: (3 poems for each questions) Harold Pinter (The Dumb Waiter), Doris Lessing (To Room 19) Margaret Atwood (Death by Landscape) Alice Munro (Walker Brothers Cowboy) E. M. Forster (The Other Boat) Salman Rushdie (The Prophet’s Hair) Questions 1 1. Twentieth-century authors like these six for thee exam were often critical of the mid-Victorians like Tennyson past authors that had seemed to be so serious or dogmatic about morals or about a faith in authority. Parenting or mentoring might be considered, in this context, as a kind of authority that is eroding or that is being criticized. How did selected authors mock or satirize or criticize the Victorian sense of moral authority in these later works? Lessing, Forster, Atwood, and Rushdie, might fit this perspective, from among our list of authors, but consider others as appropriate to your discussion? Question 2 2. Narration/telling/meta-fiction: Meta-fiction, which we discussed in relation to Lessing and Pinter, could be a starting point: to what extent is the “story” of a given literary work also about “storymaking” itself the possibilities and impossibilities of making up stories? Characters may be motivated to control reality, or to explain their own reality satisfactorily, by devising a story about it. Identity might also be at stake: characters may want to figure out who they are by telling a story that explains them. This might be an element within a story/work, or it may be definitive. Potential choices include but are not limited to the following: Pinter, Atwood, Lessing, Forster, Rushdie, and Munro?
