The document discusses the structure of Jean Rhys's novel Wide Sargasso Sea and how it subverts patriarchal norms of the 19th century novel. The shifts in narrative voice, place, and time give the text complexity. This experimentation with structure and voice explores the unconscious and uses modernist techniques to transform the ending of Jane Eyre and give voice to the marginalized character of Bertha. The structure represents a postmodern form of feminism that examines the complexity of male-female relationships.

Rhys demonstrates Antoinette's political status and isolation in colonial Jamaica through her use of imagery. In the passage, Antoinette prefers the physical pain of razor grass cutting her or the company of insects and snakes to being around people. This conveys her emotional rejection and sense of social inferiority as a white Creole woman. The swarming ants also suggest the chaotic lives of those without political power and the need for change. The reference to the snake alludes to Genesis and suggests Antoinette is a scapegoat, furthering her isolation through the toxic natural imagery.

Creating caribbean stories through design
This study is part of on-going action research between an Art and Design programme at the University of the West Indies with local children aged 4 – 12. This paper reports on a service learning and participatory design project undertaken between the urban university students and children from Guayaguayare, a rural beach village in Trinidad and Tobago the Southern Caribbean. This intervention was developed around a reading programme, where schools are supplied with books by an NGO that then creates fun reading ‘experiences’ around the donated books. In this specific programme, groups of children from the primary school were partnered with Design and Fine Art students of the university. The design students guided the children aged 7 – 9, through the development of their own storybooks based on the donated books. By using a design and literature-centred approach, the activity aimed to interest the children in aspects of the primary school curriculum such as reading and writing, and to help them connect with curriculum content such as language arts and mathematics, as well as introduce non-curricular aims such as building their confidence in themselves and their identities as Caribbean children. This paper analyses and documents the experiment and shares its successes and challenges, and the resulting storybooks created by the young children and their university student mentors.

Writing about Literature
This PowerPoint will be very helpful to students writing for literature courses at the college level.
Each journal entry must be between 250-300 words. The journal .docx
Each journal entry must be between 250-300 words. The journal entries will
provide an opportunity for students to share their analysis and reflection of the
assigned readings for that week’s session. The journal entries will also serve to
enable students to discuss the research materials they are utilizing for their
signature assignment with their classroom peers.
In each journal post:
● Discuss the main points raised by the authors of the assigned readings.
What perspectives are the authors putting forward? What are the authors
seeking to emphasize or focus on?
● How do the readings inform your thinking about LGBTQ issues in schools
and in education in general?
● What do you believe is the most important point or conclusion that the
authors are providing? Why do you believe this point/conclusion to be
important?
Prompt
Malory includes several tales in
Le Morte d’Arthur that explain how some of the most important Arthurian heroes are begotten, such as King Arthur and Sir Galahad. How does the manner in which each of these heroes are conceived affect the representation of both men and women in the tales? Be certain to use examples and/or quotes from the text to support your answer.
Guidelines
· Your initial response should be at least 500 words in length
· Use MLA format for any quotations or citations that you use to support your answer
· King Arthur is likely a legendary figure with whom you are familiar from movies, or even comic books, and his renown along with the stories of Lancelot and Guinevere, are ever-present in cultural mythology today. Hollywood has played a hand in our understanding and knowledge of Arthur, Lancelot, Guinevere, and also popular culture surrounding the Knights of the Roundtable.
· -
· We will necessarily have to wade through the tides of popular culture and mythology, and then also professional mythologians' interpretations, and your own views in a combination of culture, myth, and archaeology, to see what was ' real' and 'true' and how the mythology has been interpreted, even if perhaps we do not know what was ' real.'
· -
· So your questions this week reflect both mythology and our current interpretations of male and female in the legends. Issues that you may reflect upon include for example: Do the female protagonists such as Guinevere play a significant role ? Do they wield power? If so, what type(s) of power? Do they have an ' image' and ' reputation,' and what would the mythology and legends of King Arthur be like -- without the women?
· Is there a strong current of mythology having to do with how to treat women? Or women and romance? Or knighthood and obligations towards the female as a courtier? Is there a sense of values, honor, romance, attached to the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Roundtable? How important are these values? Are there challenges to the values of the Knights, for example in Lancelot and Guinevere and the adulterous romance between them? .

7 frankenstein find quotes qqt
Mary Shelley uses powerful descriptive language to portray Frankenstein's emotional state at the moment of creating the creature as dangerous and obsessive. She emphasizes his "anxiety that almost amounted to agony" through alliteration, implying his actions could have dire consequences. This foreshadows the problems to come from Frankenstein overreaching his role and interfering with nature. The subtitle "The Modern Prometheus" further warns of the dangers of mankind thinking they can play God through science.
8 frankenstein facebook (1)
In Chapter 10 of Frankenstein, the narrative perspective shifts to the monster as he approaches Victor Frankenstein. The monster expects to be received with hatred due to his miserable existence as a wretched creature. When the monster speaks, he bitterly laments his suffering and questions why Victor would create but then reject his own creature when they are bound together. Hearing the monster's story provides more context for its emotions and alters the reader's understanding of it.
Context Posters (homework)
The document provides instructions for a controlled assessment project on Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. Students are asked to create a detailed resource on the various social, cultural, and historical aspects that were prevalent when Frankenstein was written.

Frankenstein find Quotes
Mary Shelley uses powerful language to emphasize Frankenstein's intense emotions at the moment of creating the monster. The line "With an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, I collected the instruments of life around me" shows his obsession and suggests his actions are dangerous. The alliteration of "anxiety" and "agony" makes the moment more dramatic. This foreshadows that Frankenstein's meddling with nature will have negative consequences, proving he should not have interfered in this way. The story is a warning about the dangers of scientific experimentation and mankind overreaching.
4 frankenstein initial emotion
Here is a TEPEE paragraph analyzing how Shelley uses language to convey emotion in the opening of Chapter 5:
T: The significant use of imagery and setting in this opening establishes the mood of fear and foreboding.
E: We see Victor described as feeling "an anxiety that almost amounted to agony" as he awaits the creature coming to life, conveying his intense dread.
P: Shelley seems to be illustrating the profound terror and apprehension Victor experiences as his creation comes alive for the first time.
E: Words like "dreary," "dismally," and "half-extinguished" imply a sense of gloom and impending doom, evoking the feelings of darkness and misery
4 Crooks
The document provides information about themes in John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men. It discusses how themes are not directly presented in fiction but must be extracted from characters, actions, and settings. Specific themes in Of Mice and Men are mentioned, including dreams, friendship, loneliness, and prejudice. One section analyzes how Steinbeck presents the character of Crooks as lonely through his description of Crooks as "proud" and "aloof" and through Crooks' own bleak view of never achieving the American Dream of owning land.
8 Curley's Wife tepee
The document is a PowerPoint presentation about Curley's wife from Of Mice and Men. It contains learning objectives about selecting quotes that link characters to themes. There are slides with potential quotes from the novel about Curley's wife and instructions on how to analyze how Steinbeck presents her as a lonely character through his use of language.

When Lennie asks why they are different, George explains that they look out for each other. Their friendship provides companionship and purpose that sets them apart from the isolated lives of other characters.
13 something that happened
The document discusses John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men and examines whether Steinbeck can be considered a fatalist based on the style and structure of the novel. It notes that the novel was originally titled Something that Happened, which suggests Steinbeck's detached style. It also references the poem "To a Mouse" by Robert Burns which has themes of fatalism. The structure of the novel, with its six chronological sections like a play, builds tension and contributes to a sense of inevitability and loneliness.
Foreshadowing Candy's dog tepee (3)
The document discusses how Steinbeck uses foreshadowing in Of Mice and Men. It provides examples of how Steinbeck foreshadows Lennie's death by drawing parallels between the descriptions of Candy's dog being killed and Lennie being shot and killed by George later in the novel. The document analyzes specific word choices Steinbeck uses, like "wouldn't even quiver", that are applied to both the dog and Lennie to foreshadow a painless death. It suggests the foreshadowing helps readers understand that Lennie's death was necessary and meant to be kind. The links between the two killings ensure readers know George must shoot Lennie, just as Candy felt he should have shot

Feminism and crit anthology
Feminism sees socio-economic ideas as the cause of women's historical disadvantage, unlike Marxism which focused on class. Literature was seen by feminism to construct unfair views of women that reinforced stereotypes. As gender studies developed, notions of both femininity and masculinity, and their representations, were examined.
Lonely hearts and coursework Qs
The document provides lesson aims and questions for students to consider how two poems by Tony Harrison, "National Trust" and "Them and Uz", represent the class divide between the wealthy and working classes. Students are asked to analyze how Harrison uses language and structure to portray this divide and to what extent Marxist ideology is present in describing the exploitation of the lower classes. Groups are instructed to collate their research on these poems and topics.
National trust structure
Tony Harrison's poem "The School of Eloquence" uses its structure and form to convey meaning from a Marxist perspective. The poem is written in a 16-line sonnet form to suggest the oppression of the proletariat through its constraints. Elements like rhyme and meter are used to comment on the silencing of workers' language and the killing of the dialects they spoke. By choosing a less common sonnet form, Harrison distances himself from the literary establishment while still demonstrating his command of form and language.

- 11. JR intended that WSS should stand alone as a novel in its own right to challenge the patriarchal norms of the literary canon. The shifts in narrative voice, place and time give the text a complexity that contrasts with the linear form of the nineteenth century novel. Powerpoint Templates Page 11
- 12. This experimentation of voice gives an exploration of the unconscious; the modern and post-modern devices of fragmentation as well as drawing on Romantic notions of passion and the supernatural . WSS has been seen as an experiment in modernist techniques, a powerful example of a feminist rewriting of a novel to become one of the most famous prequels in English Literature. WSS gives a voice to the marginalised ‘Bertha’ in JE and transforms the tragic ending into a kind of triumphant heroism. Powerpoint Templates Page 12
- 13. The characteristically modern anxieties present in Wide Sargasso Sea results in a female protagonist who, although existing in roughly the same time period as Jane and experiencing much of the same challenges, represents a much more modern conception of a woman. Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre and Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea can each be seen as feminist texts when considering their social and historical context, but Wide Sargasso Sea presents a more post-modern form of feminism which takes into account the complexity of male- female interaction to find that efforts to transcend deep-set gender norms are nearly hopeless. Powerpoint Templates Page 13
- 14. WSS then perhaps takes a bleak view of the complexity of male-female interaction. In WSS women are unable to transcend the oppression of patriarchal society. Antoinette can never have a sense of security or happiness: she is defenceless. She doesn't protect herself from her mother, who she knows in unloving, and goes to her with love only to be rejected again. This situation is repeated later when she asks Rochester if he loves her, knowing that he doesn’t, to which he replies, ‘No. I Powerpoint Templates do not.’ (scrbd) Page 14
