Unit Three

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.
It seems that maybe the student should know about comprehending things in various literary works, they should also know how to correctly write a essay, narratives, poem, or technical documents.

I would say I fall under the category of a Dark Romantic. I don't think that all people have a pure soul, the people that has committed murder and use drugs and alcohol can not say that God was telling them to do it.

THE BLACK CAT
"The fury of a demon instantly possessed me. I knew myself no longer. My original soul seemed, at once, to take its flight from my body; and a more than fiendish malevolence, gin-nurtured, thrilled every fibre of my frame." The transcendentalists thought that when people had a voice in their head that is was God talking to them and telling them what to do, but there is no way that God was talking to him when he pulled the cat's eye ball out of its socket.

THE RAVEN

The Raven is is based on a man who is basically scared. He is upset that his wife has died, so he stays up reading and writing, but he hears a noise and thinks somebody is at his door, when he approches the door and opens it no one is there. He sits back down and hears another noise at the window and when he opens the window it is a Raven and as the window opens the raven flys in.
The difference between the Transcendentalist and this poem is that The Raven is not talking about God, it is talking about death and the Demons inside of someone, the Transcendentalist thought that everyone was pure and had a part of God in them and this poem shows that everyone is not pure.


The raven symbolizes mornin of someone and the demon inside of someone.

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.

"Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!" I shrieked, upstarting--
"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul has spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken!--quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

This part of the story stuck out to me because its like the man in the story is telling the raven to leave him alone and quit making fun of him while he is mornin the lost of his wife. Also he is saying he doesn't want anyone to try and heal his lonliness and he would rather be lonly and hurting instead of being happy.


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.

The difference between the Transcendentalist and this poem is that The Raven is not talking about God, it is talking about death and the Demons inside of someone, the Transcendentalist thought that everyone was pure and had a part of God in them and this poem shows that everyone is not pure.


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 would say I fall under the category of a Dark Romantic. I don't think that all people have a pure soul, the people that has committed murder and use drugs and alcohol can not say that God was telling them to do it. Instead of transcendentalists that thought that God was telling them what to do and thought that people were pure.



A story of an hour
"She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a shudder that life might be long." Its like saying that she was hoping that her life would end soon but now she is hoping that she can continue on with her life.
The problem with depression is what it seems to be that she wants to solve.

I think my way of doing this would be my writing assignments. The essay I did on Coach would be a example of this.
