ENGL120 Discussions Discussion 2(Due Date 03/22/2019): PLEASE READ: "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin "The Gift of the Magi" by O' Henry Before beginning this discussion board, be sure to read the above stories. The concept of Literary Analysis begins with looking deeper at writing and its many "elements". When we analyze, we search for purpose, intentions, and connections in a variety of "elements" of the material- its words, its structures, its reflection of the author, and so much more. In looking at the above writings, we could analyze many different "elements", but two of the most common types of "elements", and a good place to start for Module 1, is to look at the concepts of Content and Plot. When we look at CONTENT, we don't always mean what happens (that's plot), but what is the topical exploration- what is it about, and how did the author reach that meaning. Content can be very mechanical- the form and the structure sometimes define content, as well as the methods uses (images, symbols, descriptions, word choices). In this way, we not only talk about the meaning of the story, but we talk about what is said and how it is said- the use of language and words- techniques. Each of these stories presents many techniques in writing; one of the most obvious in all these stories is a concept called "foreshadowing" (look it up). PLOT is what happens in the story. It is how the story starts, who it follows, and the specifics of what happens to the characters. If we analyzed the stories above for plot, we might draw comparisons of where they are similar- the authors try to trick the reader- and we might describe how each has a plot that does not end where the reader thinks it will, and what those shared similar "twist" ideas are. OR, we might discuss how each story has a unique set of characters, but follows a different plot structure to take us from beginning to end. Since plot is about what happens in a story, early analysis of plot usually focuses on similar things that happen, or what is different in each story. For this discussion board analysis, we will start with three basic concepts in analysis of Content and Plot: 1. How does the ending of a piece of writing contribute to your understanding of what occurs in the story? 2. What elements lend you clues to the ending that becomes obvious on a second reading? (this is about "foreshadowing") 3. How would a story be different if you knew the results at the beginning rather than at the end? For this discussion board, please respond to all three questions above as best as you can. USE at least 2 of the stories to support each answer. Be sure to elaborate and use specific examples/evidence from the stories in your discussion post. Analysis always uses the source material to Illustrate, followed with explanation of what that example shows. Don't just give your opinion- back it up with evidence/examples from the story that show what you mean. Comparison is also welcome as well. ==================================================================== Discussion 3(Due Date 03/29/2019): PLEASE READ: "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs "Rules of the Game" by Amy Tan "A&P" by John Updike Each of these pieces is set in a different location or era and has a different PLOT, yet each deals with a similar content/THEME: The idea of living by and/or living within "rules" This THEME is addressed in different ways in each story. For this post, explore the following questions: 1. What is the best way to learn and adapt to new rules: through observation, instruction, or experience? Use the stories to support your answer. 2. How does each story respond to the idea of living by and/or living within rules? 3. How does the SETTING affect the THEME of each story? ==================================================================== Discussion 4(Due Date 04/05/2019): PLEASE READ: "Bartleby the Scrivener" by Herman Melville "A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Conner "Uncle Rock" by Dagoberto Gilb If PLOT is what happens in the story, and SETTING is the details about "where", then CHARACTER is the viewpoint of the story. Characters allow the audience to have connection to the actions, thoughts, and feelings that are developed into the story. In these short stories, the characters are all dis-likable people, each with flaws and faults. In this post, please elaborate on the following questions: 1. In each story, who do you empathize with more, the narrator/main perspective character, or the focus character/antagonist/foil? 2. Which characters do you find compelling or interesting (that does not mean you empathize with them, just that you find them "interesting" or thought provoking)? What traits makes them memorable? ==================================================================== Discussion 5(Due Date 04/19/2019): PLEASE READ: "Dog's Death" by John Updike This poem presents a frank and direct discussion of a very difficult situation, yet there are elements that show emotion and empathy from the narrator, as well as show the personality of the "topic" of the poem. Please respond to the following questions: 1. What moments stand out for you, and why? 2. Have you ever had a similar experience of loss, or if not, how do you find connection or interest in a piece like this? 3. What is the effect of word choice on you? What words stood out? Speculate on why. ==================================================================== Discussion 6(Due Date 04/19/2019): • • • • • • • • • Poem" William Carlos Williams -pg 605 "The Dalliance of the Eagles" Walt Whitman- pg 588 "Poetry Should Ride the Bus" Ruth Forman- pg 608 "London" William Blake" -pg 613 "The Author to Her Book" Ann Bradstreet- pg 627 "The Hand that Signed the Paper" Dylan Thomas- pg 630 "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night"Links to an external site. by Dylan Thomas-click HERE Links to an external site.

Favorite character in Othello by William Shakespeare
My favorite character is Othello. He poses himself as a brave and charming character. For
instance, he remains unmoved or affected by much of the events that he faces throughout the
play. Lago and Roderigo occasionally refer dubiously to him as ‘him' or ‘he' in the play. They do
not refer or describes him directly by his name when they are talking to him. Instead, they resort
to using racial epithets such as ‘the moor,' ‘black old ram' or ‘barbaric horse.' Despite that the
author (Shakespeare) focuses on him from the beginning of the play; his name is not revealed
until scene ii. In Act IV, he appears as a reserved person who does not want to engage in rather
small talk (Shakespeare n.p). For instance, he refrains from participating in discussions with
Lago and Caggio. He is also depicted as an outsider who knows nothing of his people. He even
assumes that Cassio died in Act V, without inquiring about telling whether this is true. His status
as a composed man may be the main reason why Lago tends to bully him.
Although Othello is a r...
