Foreshadowing flashback
The document provides information about literary devices such as flashback, foreshadowing, and symbolism. It defines flashback as a scene that takes the story back in time to show something that happened previously. Foreshadowing hints at future events. Symbolism uses objects, characters, or events to represent ideas beyond their literal meaning. Examples of each device are given from stories like Little Red Riding Hood. Guidelines for incorporating these devices in writing are also discussed.
Symbolism
The document discusses symbolism in literature and how symbols can be used to provide meaning and insight beyond just the literal level. Symbols can represent abstract ideas, values, or themes in a story. Common symbols found in literature include objects, characters, colors, scenes, and even character names, which authors use to draw attention to the plot, emphasize themes, or provide insights into characters. While some symbols have clear cultural meanings, interpretations can vary, and not all supposed symbols were intentionally included by the author.
Plot elements
Plot concerns the main events in a story that involve characters dealing with and eventually resolving a conflict. It follows an exposition that introduces characters and setting, rising action where events build towards the climax, the climax which is the turning point, falling action where loose ends are tied up after the climax, and a resolution that wraps up the story for the reader.
Irony
There are three main types of irony: verbal, situational, and dramatic. Verbal irony uses words to express something different than their literal meaning. Situational irony occurs when the actual outcome is opposite of what was expected. Dramatic irony is used in storytelling where the audience knows something characters do not, such as a character relying on deceitful people unknowingly. It creates curiosity in how the character will eventually discover the truth.

Sometimes the cause and effect relationship is not directly stated and must be inferred from clues. Effects can also lead to further effects in a chain reaction. The plot of the story "A Sound of Thunder" is based on a theoretical cause-effect chain where a time traveler stepping on a butterfly in the past ultimately alters modern civilization.
The theory and practice of oligarchical collectivism in 1984
The book Winston is reading, titled "The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism" was supposedly written by Emmanuel Goldstein, a former high-ranking party member who betrayed the party. The book explains key aspects of the party's rule over Oceania, including its use of perpetual war to control the population, maintain power, and destroy resources that could otherwise raise living standards. It asserts that the three superstates of Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia are essentially the same totalitarian society and engage in limited warfare to prevent any from gaining control while also keeping their own populations controlled. The party relies on "doublethink" and contradictions to retain power indefinitely through fear and ignorance.
Newspeak
The document discusses Newspeak, the official language of Oceania in George Orwell's novel 1984. Newspeak aims to restrict freedom of thought by limiting vocabulary related to ideas such as freedom and rebellion. It also introduces concepts like "doublethink" where contradictory beliefs can be held simultaneously. The goal is for Newspeak to eventually replace Oldspeak, eliminating undesirable concepts that do not conform to the totalitarian regime. Euphemistic terms are constructed to disguise the actual meaning of words and concepts. Thinking unapproved thoughts is considered "crimethink" and can result in vaporization.
Science fiction
Science fiction has been told since before writing was invented, with one of the earliest writers being Lucian of Samosata in the 1st century BC. Modern science fiction began to take shape in the 19th century. Science fiction is loosely defined as fiction dealing with the impact of science and technology on the world, sometimes using real technology and sometimes imagined. Common themes include using technology for disaster and expressing feelings about cultural changes from advances. For a story to be considered science fiction it generally needs to include at least three elements such as science, technology, other places, or catastrophes.
Sonnet
The document discusses different types of sonnets - Italian/Petrarchan, Shakespearean, and Spenserian. A sonnet is 14 lines with a specific rhyme scheme (abab cdcd efef gg).

IQ testing aims to assess human performance and intelligence through comparing individuals.
Why write 1984
George Orwell wrote 1984 in 1949, influenced by several events of the early 20th century. Totalitarian dictators like Stalin who ruled through terror and executed millions contributed to Orwell's dystopian vision of the future. He was concerned about privacy issues like government surveillance, corporations collecting consumer data, and employers monitoring employees. Orwell depicted extreme forms of psychological manipulation and physical control by the ruling party in 1984 to gain absolute power, including constant reminders of being watched, endless propaganda, rewriting history, and torture.
Allusions

In prison, he is restricted by rules enforcing social hierarchies like favoring married relationships over unmarried ones. At the end, Meursault reflects that life is meaningless but death is inevitable, so one must accept life as it is rather than seeking meaning elsewhere.
Fight Club
The document discusses the themes of meaninglessness and absurdity in the movie Fight Club. It notes that the main character starts an illegal fight club because he is so bored with his meaningless life. Once he believes life has no meaning or purpose, he feels free to do whatever he wants. The document then poses a series of questions about the meaning of life and our existence and asks how the main character of Fight Club would answer them based on his nihilistic worldview. It concludes by asking the reader to compare the main character of Fight Club to the protagonist in The Stranger in terms of their views of life and actions.

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

Foreshadowing
- 2. Foreshadowing is a literary device in which a writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story. Foreshadowing often appears at the beginning of a story or a chapter and helps the reader develop expectations about the coming events in a story. Any event or action in the story may throw a hint to the readers about future events or action. Even a title of a work or a chapter title can act as a clue that suggests what is going to happen. Foreshadowing in fiction creates an atmosphere or mood of suspense in a story so that the readers are interested to know more.
