Charlotte Bronte provides advice to her friend Nell about passion and marriage in a long letter. She advises Nell to tell Mr. Vincent to directly ask Miss --- for her hand in marriage rather than continuing to send sentimental letters. She also tells Nell to caution Miss --- not to wait for "une grande passion" and to consider Mr. Vincent's offer rationally rather than being repulsed by initial dislike, as intimacy over time could change her view. Bronte argues that mediocrity and moderation in marriage are wise, and that a woman should not fall deeply in love with her husband or let her will be governed by his.

The triumphs over death
UPON THE IMAGE OF DEATH.
Before my face the picture hangs,
That daily should put me in mind
Of those cold names and bitter pangs,
That shortly I am like to find :
But yet, alas, full little I
Do think hereon that I must die.
Slide deck draft [autosaved]
The poem discusses the complexities of love and relationships. The speaker's love claims to be truthful, but the speaker knows she lies. Both parties engage in flattery and lies within the relationship, but it is these "faults" and illusions that allow their love to exist.
The story of an hour by kate chopin
Mrs. Mallard is told that her husband has died in a railroad accident. She initially grieves, but then finds herself feeling an unexpected sense of freedom and joy at the thought of having control over her life without her husband. She revels in her newfound independence and autonomy. However, when her husband unexpectedly returns home, the shock of seeing him proves too much for her heart and she dies of joy.
Just A Moment Ago
The document describes how a girl who was once just an ordinary girl to the speaker has now become the focus and passion of his life. In a series of comparisons between "just a moment ago" and "while at present", the speaker describes how she has transformed from a casual encounter to becoming his inspiration, strength, and source of happiness. She has become everything to him and given him purpose and motivation to live fully.
The Flea IOP
The poem "The Flea" conveys the theme of promiscuity through verbal irony. The speaker argues that since a flea has bitten both him and the woman and mixed their blood, they are essentially married. He claims killing the flea would be committing murder and violating their sacred bond. In "Woman's Constancy", the theme is conveyed through rhetorical questions as the speaker questions how a woman can remain faithful when desires of the flesh are strong.

Ah, some Jane Austen for you!
It has probably been a while since you last read Pride and Prejudice, or you may never have read it! Do actually read the novel rather than assuming you know the story because of the million variant movies and TV shows that stem from the original text.
Because it's so familiar, you might not feel like there's much to talk about. Definitely keep those discussion board questions in mind as you're reading, and keep in mind the things that we've read leading up to it for the sake of comparison.
Remember even though this text has a romance it is more than just a Romance novel. The original l title of the work was .
This book is primarily a comment on societal expectations. It is sometimes taught as a historical novel.
Romanticism/Realism:
With Austen, we see Romanticism with a touch of Realism coming to light. Realism is the reflection of real people in real situations, and it often gets ugly. Realism grows out of a lot, but it's a response to Romanticism. We didn't read a novel from the Romantic period that embodies it in the same way that Candide does the Enlightenment, but Austen basically grows up and is writing during Romanticism and hints to the Realist movement.
Romanticism was focused on imagination, nature, youth, personal experience (in poetry we see the "I" develop) and passion—pretty much a direct rebellion against the valuation of reason and all things scientific that was so highly lauded during the Enlightenment. Then came Realism... responding to the Romantics and all their passion, we switch to looking at real people, real life.
So: Enlightenment (Reason!)---> Romanticism (1800-1850ish) ----> Realism (then later, Modernism, Postmodernism, etc).

Frederick Douglass, an American Slave)
Biography of Douglass
C H A P T E R V I
My new mistress proved to be all she appeared when I first met her at the door,—a woman of
the kindest heart and finest feelings. She had never had a slave under her control previously to
myself, and prior to her marriage she had been dependent upon her own industry for a living.
She was by trade a weaver; and by constant application to her business, she had been in a good
degree preserved from the blighting and dehumanizing effects of slavery. I was utterly
astonished at her goodness. I scarcely knew how to behave towards her. She was entirely unlike
any other white woman I had ever seen. I could not approach her as I was accustomed to
approach other white ladies. My early instruction was all out of place. The crouching servility,
usually so acceptable a quality in a slave, did not answer when manifested toward her. Her 10
favor was not gained by it; she seemed to be disturbed by it. She did not deem it impudent or
unmannerly for a slave to look her in the face. The meanest slave was put fully at ease in her
presence, and none left without feeling better for having seen her. Her face was made of
heavenly smiles, and her voice of tranquil music.
But, alas! this kind heart had but a short time to remain such. The fatal poison of irresponsible
power was already in her hands, and soon commenced its infernal work. That cheerful eye,
under the influence of slavery, soon became red with rage; that voice, made all of sweet
accord, changed to one of harsh and horrid discord; and that angelic face gave place to that of a
demon.
Very soon after I went to live with Mr. and Mrs. Auld, she very kindly commenced to teach me 20
the A, B, C. After I had learned this, she assisted me in learning to spell words of three or four
letters. Just at this point of my progress, Mr. Auld found out what was going on, and at once
forbade Mrs. Auld to instruct me further, telling her, among other things, that it was unlawful,
as well as unsafe, to teach a slave to read. To use his own words, further, he said, "If you give a
nigger an inch, he will take an ell. A nigger should know nothing but to obey his master—to do
as he is told to do. Learning would spoil the best nigger in the world. Now," said he, "if you
teach that nigger (speaking of myself) how to read, there would be no keeping him. It would
forever unfit him to be a slave. He would at once become unmanageable, and of no value to his
master. As to himself, it could do him no good, but a great deal of harm. It would make him
discontented and unhappy." These words sank deep into my heart, stirred up sentiments within 30
that lay slumbering, and called into existence an entirely new train of thought. It was a new and
special revelation, explaining dark and mysterious things, with which my y.

Emerson argues that individuals should rely on their own thoughts and intuition rather than conforming to society or traditions. He asserts that true genius and greatness comes from speaking one's own mind authentically rather than seeking approval from others. An individual must trust themselves above all else and live according to their own nature.

Self-Reliance
from Essays: First Series (1841)
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Ne te quaesiveris extra."
"Man is his own star; and the soul that can
Render an honest and a perfect man,
Commands all light, all influence, all fate;
Nothing to him falls early or too late.
Our acts our angels are, or good or ill,
Our fatal shadows that walk by us still."
Epilogue to Beaumont and Fletcher's Honest Man's Fortune
Cast the bantling on the rocks,
Suckle him with the she-wolf's teat;
Wintered with the hawk and fox,
Power and speed be hands and feet.
ESSAY II Self-Reliance
I read the other day some verses written by an eminent painter which were original and not conventional. The soul always hears an admonition in such lines, let the subject be what it may. The sentiment they instil is of more value than any thought they may contain. To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, — that is genius. Speak your latent conviction, and it shall be the universal sense; for the inmost in due time becomes the outmost,—— and our first thought is rendered back to us by the trumpets of the Last Judgment. Familiar as the voice of the mind is to each, the highest merit we ascribe to Moses, Plato, and Milton is, that they set at naught books and traditions, and spoke not what men but what they thought. A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else, to-morrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.
There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried. Not for nothing one face, one character, one fact, makes much impression on him, and another none. This sculpture in the memory is not without preestablished harmony. The eye was placed where one ray should fall, that it might testify of that particular ray. We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents..
Self-Reliance
"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes, the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow their own instincts and ideas. It is the source of one of Emerson's most famous quotations: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines."

PART I
Underground*
*The author of the diary and the diary itself are, of course, imaginary. Nevertheless it is clear that such persons as the writer of these notes not only may, but positively must, exist in our society, when we consider the circumstances in the midst of which our society is formed. I have tried to expose to the view of the public more distinctly than is commonly done, one of the characters of the recent past. He is one of the representatives of a generation still living. In this fragment, entitled "Underground," this person introduces himself and his views, and, as it were, tries to explain the causes owing to which he has made his appearance and was bound to make his appearance in our midst. In the second fragment there are added the actual notes of this person concerning certain events in his life.--AUTHOR'S NOTE.
I
I am a sick man.... I am a spiteful man. I am an unattractive man. I believe my liver is diseased. However, I know nothing at all about my disease, and do not know for certain what ails me. I don't consult a doctor for it, and never have, though I have a respect for medicine and doctors. Besides, I am extremely superstitious, sufficiently so to respect medicine, anyway (I am well-educated enough not to be superstitious, but I am superstitious). No, I refuse to consult a doctor from spite. That you probably will not understand. Well, I understand it, though. Of course, I can't explain who it is precisely that I am mortifying in this case by my spite: I am perfectly well aware that I cannot "pay out" the doctors by not consulting them; I know better than anyone that by all this I am only injuring myself and no one else. But still, if I don't consult a doctor it is from spite. My liver is bad, well--let it get worse!
I have been going on like that for a long time--twenty years. Now I am forty. I used to be in the government service, but am no longer. I was a spiteful official. I was rude and took pleasure in being so. I did not take bribes, you see, so I was bound to find a recompense in that, at least. (A poor jest, but I will not scratch it out. I wrote it thinking it would sound very witty; but now that I have seen myself that I only wanted to show off in a despicable way, I will not scratch it out on purpose!)
When petitioners used to come for information to the table at which I sat, I used to grind my teeth at them, and felt intense enjoyment when I succeeded in making anybody unhappy. I almost did succeed. For the most part they were all timid people--of course, they were petitioners. But of the uppish ones there was one officer in particular I could not endure. He simply would not be humble, and clanked his sword in a disgusting way. I carried on a feud with him for eighteen months over that sword. At last I got the better of him. He left off clanking it. That happened in my youth, though.
But do you know, gentlemen, what was the chief point about my s.

The document is an excerpt from Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novel Notes From The Underground. It introduces the narrator, who describes himself as a former government official who is sickly and spiteful.

Theme of Love - Passion and Suffering - The Only Story - Julian Barnes
This document discusses themes of passion and suffering in Julian Barnes' novel The Only Story. It begins with background on the etymology of the word "passion", which comes from the Latin word for "to suffer". Several quotes from the novel are provided that illustrate how the main character Paul's passionate love affair with the older Susan turns to suffering for both of them. The document also discusses psychological interpretations of love from a Lacanian perspective, explaining how the separation between our organic being and our cultural identities as subjects through language gives rise to an unsatisfiable desire.

Jane Austen Lecture.docx
Ah, some Jane Austen for you!
It has probably been a while since you last read Pride and Prejudice, or you may never have read it! Do actually read the novel rather than assuming you know the story because of the million variant movies and TV shows that stem from the original text.
Because it's so familiar, you might not feel like there's much to talk about. Definitely keep those discussion board questions in mind as you're reading, and keep in mind the things that we've read leading up to it for the sake of comparison.
Remember even though this text has a romance it is more than just a Romance novel. The original l title of the work was .
This book is primarily a comment on societal expectations. It is sometimes taught as a historical novel.
Romanticism/Realism:
With Austen, we see Romanticism with a touch of Realism coming to light. Realism is the reflection of real people in real situations, and it often gets ugly. Realism grows out of a lot, but it's a response to Romanticism. We didn't read a novel from the Romantic period that embodies it in the same way that Candide does the Enlightenment, but Austen basically grows up and is writing during Romanticism and hints to the Realist movement.
Romanticism was focused on imagination, nature, youth, personal experience (in poetry we see the "I" develop) and passion—pretty much a direct rebellion against the valuation of reason and all things scientific that was so highly lauded during the Enlightenment. Then came Realism... responding to the Romantics and all their passion, we switch to looking at real people, real life.
So: Enlightenment (Reason!)---> Romanticism (1800-1850ish) ----> Realism (then later, Modernism, Postmodernism, etc).

Frederick Douglass “Learning to Read and Write” (Chapters 6-8 from Narrative of the Life of
Frederick Douglass, an American Slave)
Biography of Douglass
C H A P T E R V I
My new mistress proved to be all she appeared when I first met her at the door,—a woman of
the kindest heart and finest feelings. She had never had a slave under her control previously to
myself, and prior to her marriage she had been dependent upon her own industry for a living.
She was by trade a weaver; and by constant application to her business, she had been in a good
degree preserved from the blighting and dehumanizing effects of slavery. I was utterly
astonished at her goodness. I scarcely knew how to behave towards her. She was entirely unlike
any other white woman I had ever seen. I could not approach her as I was accustomed to
approach other white ladies. My early instruction was all out of place. The crouching servility,
usually so acceptable a quality in a slave, did not answer when manifested toward her. Her 10
favor was not gained by it; she seemed to be disturbed by it. She did not deem it impudent or
unmannerly for a slave to look her in the face. The meanest slave was put fully at ease in her
presence, and none left without feeling better for having seen her. Her face was made of
heavenly smiles, and her voice of tranquil music.
But, alas! this kind heart had but a short time to remain such. The fatal poison of irresponsible
power was already in her hands, and soon commenced its infernal work. That cheerful eye,
under the influence of slavery, soon became red with rage; that voice, made all of sweet
accord, changed to one of harsh and horrid discord; and that angelic face gave place to that of a
demon.
Very soon after I went to live with Mr. and Mrs. Auld, she very kindly commenced to teach me 20
the A, B, C. After I had learned this, she assisted me in learning to spell words of three or four
letters. Just at this point of my progress, Mr. Auld found out what was going on, and at once
forbade Mrs. Auld to instruct me further, telling her, among other things, that it was unlawful,
as well as unsafe, to teach a slave to read. To use his own words, further, he said, "If you give a
nigger an inch, he will take an ell. A nigger should know nothing but to obey his master—to do
as he is told to do. Learning would spoil the best nigger in the world. Now," said he, "if you
teach that nigger (speaking of myself) how to read, there would be no keeping him. It would
forever unfit him to be a slave. He would at once become unmanageable, and of no value to his
master. As to himself, it could do him no good, but a great deal of harm. It would make him
discontented and unhappy." These words sank deep into my heart, stirred up sentiments within 30
that lay slumbering, and called into existence an entirely new train of thought. It was a new and
special revelation, explaining dark and mysterious things, with which my y.
Selfreliance
This document is an excerpt from Ralph Waldo Emerson's 1841 essay "Self-Reliance". In less than 3 sentences, the summary is:
Emerson argues that individuals should rely on their own thoughts and intuition rather than conforming to society or traditions. He asserts that true genius and greatness comes from speaking one's own mind authentically rather than seeking approval from others. An individual must trust themselves above all else and live according to their own nature.

Self-Reliance
from Essays: First Series (1841)
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Ne te quaesiveris extra."
"Man is his own star; and the soul that can
Render an honest and a perfect man,
Commands all light, all influence, all fate;
Nothing to him falls early or too late.
Our acts our angels are, or good or ill,
Our fatal shadows that walk by us still."
Epilogue to Beaumont and Fletcher's Honest Man's Fortune
Cast the bantling on the rocks,
Suckle him with the she-wolf's teat;
Wintered with the hawk and fox,
Power and speed be hands and feet.
ESSAY II Self-Reliance
I read the other day some verses written by an eminent painter which were original and not conventional. The soul always hears an admonition in such lines, let the subject be what it may. The sentiment they instil is of more value than any thought they may contain. To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, — that is genius. Speak your latent conviction, and it shall be the universal sense; for the inmost in due time becomes the outmost,—— and our first thought is rendered back to us by the trumpets of the Last Judgment. Familiar as the voice of the mind is to each, the highest merit we ascribe to Moses, Plato, and Milton is, that they set at naught books and traditions, and spoke not what men but what they thought. A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else, to-morrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.
There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried. Not for nothing one face, one character, one fact, makes much impression on him, and another none. This sculpture in the memory is not without preestablished harmony. The eye was placed where one ray should fall, that it might testify of that particular ray. We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents..
Self-Reliance
"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes, the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow their own instincts and ideas. It is the source of one of Emerson's most famous quotations: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines."

Notes from the Underground
FYODOR DOSTOYEVSKY
PART I
Underground*
*The author of the diary and the diary itself are, of course, imaginary. Nevertheless it is clear that such persons as the writer of these notes not only may, but positively must, exist in our society, when we consider the circumstances in the midst of which our society is formed. I have tried to expose to the view of the public more distinctly than is commonly done, one of the characters of the recent past. He is one of the representatives of a generation still living. In this fragment, entitled "Underground," this person introduces himself and his views, and, as it were, tries to explain the causes owing to which he has made his appearance and was bound to make his appearance in our midst. In the second fragment there are added the actual notes of this person concerning certain events in his life.--AUTHOR'S NOTE.
I
I am a sick man.... I am a spiteful man. I am an unattractive man. I believe my liver is diseased. However, I know nothing at all about my disease, and do not know for certain what ails me. I don't consult a doctor for it, and never have, though I have a respect for medicine and doctors. Besides, I am extremely superstitious, sufficiently so to respect medicine, anyway (I am well-educated enough not to be superstitious, but I am superstitious). No, I refuse to consult a doctor from spite. That you probably will not understand. Well, I understand it, though. Of course, I can't explain who it is precisely that I am mortifying in this case by my spite: I am perfectly well aware that I cannot "pay out" the doctors by not consulting them; I know better than anyone that by all this I am only injuring myself and no one else. But still, if I don't consult a doctor it is from spite. My liver is bad, well--let it get worse!
I have been going on like that for a long time--twenty years. Now I am forty. I used to be in the government service, but am no longer. I was a spiteful official. I was rude and took pleasure in being so. I did not take bribes, you see, so I was bound to find a recompense in that, at least. (A poor jest, but I will not scratch it out. I wrote it thinking it would sound very witty; but now that I have seen myself that I only wanted to show off in a despicable way, I will not scratch it out on purpose!)
When petitioners used to come for information to the table at which I sat, I used to grind my teeth at them, and felt intense enjoyment when I succeeded in making anybody unhappy. I almost did succeed. For the most part they were all timid people--of course, they were petitioners. But of the uppish ones there was one officer in particular I could not endure. He simply would not be humble, and clanked his sword in a disgusting way. I carried on a feud with him for eighteen months over that sword. At last I got the better of him. He left off clanking it. That happened in my youth, though.
But do you know, gentlemen, what was the chief point about my s.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky - Notes From The Underground
This summary provides the key details from the document in 3 sentences:
The document is an excerpt from Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novel Notes From The Underground. It introduces the narrator, who describes himself as a former government official who is sickly and spiteful. He discusses feeling tormented by his intense self-awareness, which prevents him from taking decisive action or becoming anything meaningful, leaving him to live a pitiful life in a corner of the underground.
The adventure of red circle
Holmes and Watson hide in Mrs. Warren's box room to observe her mysterious lodger. She leaves his lunch tray outside his locked door as usual. They wait to catch a glimpse of the man, whose unusual seclusion and secretive behavior has alarmed the landlady. The story sets up a mystery around the identity and motives of the unknown lodger.
Theme of Love - Passion and Suffering - The Only Story - Julian Barnes
This document discusses themes of passion and suffering in Julian Barnes' novel The Only Story. It begins with background on the etymology of the word "passion", which comes from the Latin word for "to suffer". Several quotes from the novel are provided that illustrate how the main character Paul's passionate love affair with the older Susan turns to suffering for both of them. The document also discusses psychological interpretations of love from a Lacanian perspective, explaining how the separation between our organic being and our cultural identities as subjects through language gives rise to an unsatisfiable desire.
Never Bet the Devil Your Head by Edgar Allan Poe
This summary provides the key details from the document in 3 sentences:
The story describes Toby Dammit, a man who was badly behaved from a young age due to his mother's left-handed floggings, and grew up obsessed with betting on anything, often saying "I'll bet the Devil my head." The narrator tries to convince Dammit to stop his betting ways, but Dammit refuses and mocks the narrator. The story serves as a moral tale about the dangers of gambling and ignoring good advice.
The Sisterhood
Humphrey and his wife Eliza argue after Eliza participates in a women's suffrage protest. Humphrey physically assaults Eliza, ripping her dress and causing her nose to bleed. He accuses her of betraying her wifely duties and following foolish causes. Eliza defends her actions and conscience, but acknowledges Humphrey has power over her as her husband. Their argument grows more heated as Humphrey insists women belong in the home rather than politics, and that he stripped Eliza of her virtue on their wedding night as was his right. Eliza reminds him she has borne him children, including a daughter, but their son was stillborn. She breaks down begging Humphrey's forgiveness as his

Augustine of Hippo wrote his Confessions between 397 -400 CE. In it he gives an
autobiographical account of his whole life up through his conversion to Christianity.
In Book 2, excerpted here, he thinks over the passions and temptations of his youth,
especially during a period where he had to come home from where he was studying

his father was considering it. They want him to be academically successful and

Julian divorced his wife Anne after 15 years of marriage to be with a younger woman named Rose. Anne accepted the divorce arrangements graciously. She moved abroad but remained interested in Julian's life through updates from the narrator. Over time, Anne seemed to grow unhappy and despondent upon hearing news of Julian and his new family.

Ch. VII in Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
CHAPTER VII
I lived in Master Hugh's family about seven years. During this time, I succeeded in learning to read and write. In accomplishing this, I was compelled to resort to various stratagems. I had no regular teacher. My mistress, who had kindly commenced to instruct me, had, in compliance with the advice and direction of her husband, not only ceased to instruct, but had set her face against my being instructed by any one else. It is due, however, to my mistress to say of her, that she did not adopt this course of treatment immediately. She at first lacked the depravity indispensable to shutting me up in mental darkness. It was at least necessary for her to have some training in the exercise of irresponsible power, to make her equal to the task of treating me as though I were a brute.
My mistress was, as I have said, a kind and tender-hearted woman; and in the simplicity of her soul she commenced, when I first went to live with her, to treat me as she supposed one human being ought to treat another. In entering upon the duties of a slaveholder, she did not seem to perceive that I sustained to her the relation of a mere chattel, and that for her to treat me as a human being was not only wrong, but dangerously so. Slavery proved as injurious to her as it did to me. When I went there, she was a pious, warm, and tender-hearted woman. There was no sorrow or suffering for which she had not a tear. She had bread for the hungry, clothes for the naked, and comfort for every mourner that came within her reach. Slavery soon proved its ability to divest her of these heavenly qualities. Under its influence, the tender heart became stone, and the lamblike disposition gave way to one of tiger-like fierceness. The first step in her downward course was in her ceasing to instruct me. She now commenced to practise her husband's precepts. She finally became even more violent in her opposition than her husband himself. She was not satisfied with simply doing as well as he had commanded; she seemed anxious to do better. Nothing seemed to make her more angry than to see me with a newspaper. She seemed to think that here lay the danger. I have had her rush at me with a face made all up of fury, and snatch from me a newspaper, in a manner that fully revealed her apprehension. She was an apt woman; and a little experience soon demonstrated, to her satisfaction, that education and slavery were incompatible with each other.
From this time I was most narrowly watched. If I was in a separate room any considerable length of time, I was sure to be suspected of having a book, and was at once called to give an account of myself. All this, however, was too late. The first step had been taken. Mistress, in teaching me the alphabet, had given me the inch, and no precaution could prevent me from taking the ell.
The plan which I adopted, and the one by which I was most successful, was that of making friends of all the ...

The passage describes Wright's experience with hunger from his youth. As a child, Wright's hunger felt normal and was satisfied by "a crust or two", but over time it grew into something more painful and hostile. Wright characterizes his early hunger as "a normal hunger" that made him beg for food, in contrast to the grim stranger that hunger became for him as it intensified physically, spiritually and intellectually over the years.
Excerpt from the interesting narrative of the life of olaudah equiano
The narrator describes his initial arrival in Africa and being taken aboard a slave ship. Upon seeing the ship and being handled by the crew, he is filled with terror, believing he has "gotten into a world of bad spirits" who will kill him. Below deck, he witnesses many black people chained together in anguish and despair. Overcome with horror, he faints. When he recovers, he begs the crew not to let the white men with "horrible looks" eat him. He is given liquor which causes further distress. Left abandoned, he sees no chance of escape and wishes for death to end his misery in this "situation filled with horrors of every kind."

Black manhattan
1) Harlem in Manhattan was established as a neighborhood for Black residents in the early 20th century through the efforts of real estate developer Philip Payton, who convinced landlords to rent empty properties to Black tenants.
2) As more Black residents moved to Harlem, home ownership became common as residents took advantage of low property prices. However, some white residents and organizations tried to curb the growth of Harlem through discriminatory lending practices.
3) Unlike in other northern cities where racial tensions led to violence, Harlem was established peacefully due to New York City's cosmopolitan culture that minimized racial distinctions. The author notes this established Harlem as a unprecedented secure community for Black residents in New York
The harlem renaissance
The Harlem Renaissance occurred between 1920-1934 as 2 million African Americans migrated north from the rural South to cities like New York and Chicago. Cheap housing led to a boom of black homeowners in Harlem, which became a cultural epicenter. Artists explored black identity, nationalism, and social injustice through literature, poetry, music, theater and art. Key figures included James Weldon Johnson, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Langston Hughes.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

A Warning Against Passion
- 1. Charlotte Bronte: “A Warning Against Passion” November 20th, 1840 MY DEAREST NELL,-- That last letter of thine treated of matters so high and important I cannot delay answering it for a day. Now I am about to write thee a discourse, and a piece of advice which thou must take as if it came from thy grandmother. But in the first place, before I begin with thee, I have a word to whisper in the ear of Mr. Vincent, and I wish it could reach him. In the name of St. Chrysostom, St. Simon, and St. Jude, why does not that amiable young gentleman come forward like a man and say all that he has to say personally, instead of trifling with kinsmen and kinswomen. "Mr. Vincent," I say, "go personally, and say: 'Miss ---, I want to speak to you.' Miss --- will of course civilly answer: 'I am at your service, Mr. Vincent.' And then, when the room is cleared of all but yourself and herself, just take a chair nearer. Insist upon her laying down that silly . . . work, and listening to you. Then begin, in a clear, distinct, deferential, but determined voice: 'Miss ---, I have a question to put to you--a very important question: "Will you take me as your husband, for better, for worse. I am not a rich man, but I have sufficient to support us. I am not a great man, but I love you honestly and truly. Miss ---, if you knew the world better you would see that this is an offer not to be despised--a kind attached heart and a moderate competency." Do this, Mr. Vincent, and you may succeed. Go on writing sentimental and love-sick letters to ---, and I would not give sixpence for your suit." So much for Mr. Vincent. Now Miss ---'s turn comes to swallow the black bolus, called a friend's advice. Say to her: "Is the man a fool? is he a knave? a humbug, a hypocrite, a ninny, a noodle? If he is any or all of these, of course there is no sense in trifling with him. Cut him short at once—blast his hopes with lightning rapidity and keenness. Is he something better than this? has he at least common sense, a good disposition, a manageable temper? Then consider the matter." Say further: "You feel a disgust towards him now—an utter repugnance. Very likely, but be so good as to remember you don't know him; you have only had three or four days' acquaintance with him. Longer and closer intimacy might reconcile you to a wonderful extent. And now I'll tell you a word of truth, at which you may be offended or not as you like." Say to her: "From what I know of your character, and I think I know it pretty well, I should say you will never love before marriage. After that ceremony is over, and after you have had some months to settle down, and to get accustomed to the creature you have taken for your worse half, you will probably make a most affectionate and happy wife; even if the individual should not prove all you could wish, you will be indulgent towards his little follies and foibles, and will not feel much annoyance at them. This will especially be the case if he should have sense sufficient to allow you to guide him in important matters." Say also: "I hope you will not have the romantic folly to wait for what the French call 'une grande passion.' My good girl, 'une grande passion' is 'une grande folie.'
- 2. Mediocrity in all things is wisdom; mediocrity in the sensations is superlative wisdom." Say to her: "When you are as old as I am (I am sixty at least, being your grandmother), you will find that the majority of those worldly precepts, whose seeming coldness shocks and repels us in youth, are founded in wisdom." 'No girl should fall in love till the offer is actually made. This maxim is just. I will even extend and confirm it: No young lady should fall in love till the offer has been made, accepted, the marriage ceremony performed, and the first half-year of wedded life has passed away. A woman may then begin to love, but with great precaution, very coolly, very moderately, very rationally. If she ever loves so much that a harsh word or a cold look cuts her to the heart she is a fool. If she ever loves so much that her husband's will is her law, and that she has got into a habit of watching his looks in order that she may anticipate his wishes, she will soon be a neglected fool. 'I have two studies: you are my study for the success, the credit, and the respectability of a quiet, tranquil character; Mary is my study for the contempt, the remorse, the misconstruction which follow the development of feelings in themselves noble, warm, generous, devoted, and profound, but which, being too freely revealed, too frankly bestowed, are not estimated at their real value. I never hope to see in this world a character more truly noble. She would die willingly for one she loved. Her intellect and her attainments are of the very highest standard. Yet I doubt whether Mary will ever marry...
