Amy foster (critical analysis)
This document provides an analysis of Joseph Conrad's short story "Amy Foster". It discusses how the story is a commentary on the lonely human condition and the trauma of displacement. It analyzes how the story depicts themes of otherness, science, and narrative techniques. It also summarizes how the story uses the silence of the character Amy Foster and trauma as literary devices.
Narrative theory
Narrative refers to the way events are structured and presented to an audience, rather than just being a sequence of events themselves. When analyzing a narrative, we examine how the story is constructed, not just the story content. All media texts use narrative, whether they are long or short forms. Narrative theory is important for defining the horror genre, as Noel Carroll's "Philosophy of Horror" identifies a traditional 3-part structure for horror films including an onset phase introducing a monster, a discovery phase where characters find the monster, and a disruption phase where characters destroy the monster and restore normality.
British magazines
This document summarizes and compares three British film magazines: The Darkside Magazine, Empire film magazine, and Little White Lies. The Darkside Magazine focuses on horror films and uses gothic fonts and dark colors like black and red. Empire targets 16-30 year old males and covers mainstream action movies, using colors related to the films' protagonists. Little White Lies aims for a 16-24 audience and designs each issue inspired by its featured film, often illustrated on the cover. It takes a cartoony approach to seem more appealing to consumers.
Narrative theories and thriller conventions as
Vladimir Propp analyzed over 100 Russian fairytales and proposed that it was possible to classify characters into clearly defined roles and functions, such as the hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, and princess. While some films like Star Wars fit Propp's model precisely, others like Pulp Fiction do not. Tzvetan Todorov suggested most narratives follow a pattern of equilibrium, disequilibrium, attempted repair, and new equilibrium. Roland Barthes analyzed how narratives work with codes that activate meaning for the audience, such as denote, connote, action, and enigma. Claude Levi-Strauss examined how myths reflect the values and beliefs of a culture through symbolic binary oppositions like homesteaders vs
In another country
The document discusses how Ernest Hemingway's "iceberg theory" is present in his short story "In Another Country". Hemingway's iceberg theory refers to using short, objective sentences on the surface but leaving deeper meanings unstated for the reader to interpret. In "In Another Country", Hemingway applies this technique to depict a soldier's disillusionment with receiving an undeserved medal and society's need to believe in things, even if untrue. Overall, the document analyzes how Hemingway uses concise yet open-ended statements in the story that convey different messages about society and the individual in line with his iceberg theory of writing.
Reading the Modern Short Story
Literature for today's child includes vast array of stories written in language that he can understand. Wedged in between may be found the great classics of yesteryear and in addiction, there are excellent, beautifully illustrated books on nature, fascinating fiction, and highly educational, biographical profiles.
Satire with the reference to neo classical age 4
This document summarizes the different types of satire including direct satire such as Horatian and Juvelian satire, and indirect satire such as Menippean satire. It discusses satire as a major literary trend during the Neoclassical Age that flourished due to societal needs, and lists some prominent satirists from that era like John Dryden, Alexander Pope, and Jonathan Swift. It concludes with a quote about art shaping reality rather than just reflecting it.
Narrative theory
This document discusses narrative theory and provides examples of several influential narrative theorists. It defines narrative as a chain of events organized in a cause-and-effect relationship that occurs over time and involves a beginning, middle, and end. Several major theorists are outlined, including Propp's identification of recurring character archetypes, Todorov's model of narrative phases, Barthes' narrative codes, and Levi-Strauss' examination of how stories reflect cultural myths and beliefs. More recent trends in complex and nonlinear narratives are also mentioned.

It summarizes Propp's analysis of Russian fairy tales which identified character roles like the hero, villain, and donor. Todorov suggests most narratives have an initial state of equilibrium, a disruption causing disequilibrium, and a return to a new equilibrium.

Salinger, Flannery O'Connor, and Raymond Carver.

Anti War Literature
The document discusses different representations of war in literature from the 1950s onward. It begins with realist/naturalist representations from WWII literature that portrayed war as hell and involved loss of innocence. Catch-22 challenged these conventions with its absurdist take on war. Later postmodern works fragmented narratives, questioned objective truth, and exposed the illogical nature of war through time travel and metafictional devices. Kurt Vonnegut's works like Slaughterhouse-Five employed these techniques as a way to represent his own experiences as a prisoner of war in Dresden.
Characteristics of postmodern literature by using reference of post modern work

The presentation analyzes how these techniques are used to depict themes of war, death, and the alien concept of time presented by the novel's Tralfamadorians. It concludes postmodernism represented a shift to blending genres and addressing sociopolitical issues in innovative styles.

SHORT STORY FROM HISTORY TO ELEMENTS
Short stories have their origins in oral storytelling traditions from ancient epics like Homer's works. Over time, short sections of stories told in verse evolved into short prose narratives that could be told in a single sitting. Some of the earliest published short stories appeared between 1790-1810, though true short story collections emerged between 1810-1830. During the 19th century, the growth of magazines and journals fueled demand for short fiction of 3,000-15,000 words. Many famous authors contributed short stories during this time, helping establish the short story as a popular genre. The 20th century saw continued experimentation and growth in the short story form across various regions and time periods.
Futility analysis
Wilfred Owen's poem "Futility" examines the futility of war through the voice of a soldier questioning why the sun cannot revive his fallen comrade. The soldier reflects on how the sun once awakened the man but now his limbs are too hard to stir, even for the sun. Through rhetorical questions, the soldier expresses despair and bitterness at the meaningless death of his fellow soldier. The poem challenges notions of patriotism and military service by highlighting the inevitability of death in war.
Andrew Frayn - Attachment and coping in D.H. Lawrence's 'Bay'
'Attachments and coping towards the end of the First World War: D. H. Lawrence's Bay (1919)'; A public talk by Andrew Frayn (Edinburgh Napier University). 29 April, The Seminar Room (H204) in UCD Humanities Institute.
D. H. Lawrence described his poetry collection Bay, published in a limited edition in 1919 by Cyril Beaumont having been in press for over a year, as 'more or less about the war'. It is a document of the dying days of the conflict, largely conceived and written in early 1918 as Lawrence struggled to live by the pen following the suppression of 'The Rainbow' (1915) and his ejection from Cornwall in 1917. In this talk, Andrew Frayn examines the attachments that sustained Lawrence as his parlous personal situation coincided with the fraught final year of the war.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
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.
