Media Theories
Vladimir Propp was a Russian scholar who proposed a theory of narrative structure, suggesting that all stories contain a fixed set of character types that fulfill certain functions, such as villain, hero, donor, etc. Propp analyzed over 100 Russian fairy tales and identified common character roles and plot points. Stuart Hall developed a model of audience positioning, proposing that audiences can interpret media texts through dominant, negotiated, or oppositional readings depending on their social position. Edward Said argued that Western culture often portrays Eastern cultures as the exotic "Other" through harmful stereotypes, which he called Orientalism.
Virginia wooolf
Virginia Woolf was an influential English writer and pioneer of modernist literature. She was born in London in 1882 to well-known literary parents but suffered mental breakdowns after the death of her mother and sexual abuse by her half-brother. Despite her illnesses, she became a central figure of the Bloomsbury Group and published groundbreaking novels through her and her husband's printing press. Her works often explored themes of feminism, class, and mental illness and used innovative stream-of-consciousness techniques. Woolf is considered an important early feminist and her essays and novels like A Room of One's Own and Mrs. Dalloway had a significant impact on feminist thought and literature.
Introduction to Margaret Walker
Margaret Walker was an influential African American writer and professor born in 1915. She published her first book of poetry, For My People, in 1942 which won the Yale Series of Younger Poets Award. Walker spent her career as a professor at Jackson State University, advocating for Black culture, civil rights, and mentoring younger writers. Her novel Jubilee published in 1966 helped establish the genre of African American historical fiction and explored themes of community and history's influence.
Introduction to Jubilee
This document provides an overview and summary of Angela Yvonne Walker's 1966 novel Jubilee. It discusses that the book is based on stories Walker's grandmother told her about being a slave in Georgia. Walker first used these stories for a class assignment and later expanded them into her dissertation and published book. The book follows the life of a slave woman named Vyry from 1839 to the post-Civil War period of the 1870s and draws from oral histories and folk traditions to depict plantation life and the experiences of slaves.
The modernist literature
This document summarizes the characterization of Lily Briscoe from Virginia Woolf's novel "To the Lighthouse" and Hester Prynne from Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter". It describes Lily as an unmarried, independent artist who expresses herself through painting. Hester is described as a woman punished for adultery who stands alone against Puritan society. The document then analyzes both characters as individuals who refused social norms and were decision makers, noting how aspects of their lives connect to the authors. It concludes that both novels can be considered feminist works.
Poems
This document provides tips for writing poems, including:
1. Brainstorm ideas using techniques like mind mapping or lists to generate inspiration.
2. Get inspired by your environment and important people in your life, writing about them.
3. Pick a specific theme or idea to focus the poem and make it easier to choose descriptive details.
4. Use sensory details about sight, sound, smell, taste and touch to make the poem come alive.
5. Employ literary devices like rhyme, repetition and metaphor to engage readers.
Author presentation

Myers writes realistic fiction, poetry, and nonfiction focused on themes of inner-city life, violence, bullying, and overcoming adversity. He has received numerous awards including two Newbery Honors and five Coretta Scott King Awards. Some of his most well-known works include Monster, Slam!, and Scorpions.
Milton
John Milton was a highly educated English poet from a cultured family who decided to become a poet of God while at Cambridge. He fought against the king and was imprisoned when the monarchy was restored. While blind and in prison, Milton wrote Paradise Lost, considered the greatest epic poem in English that tells the biblical story of Adam and Eve's fall from grace in a vast setting involving supernatural forces like gods and angels. Epics generally feature a heroic figure of national importance and historical deeds, an elevated writing style, and sometimes begin by stating their theme or asking a question of a muse.

Theme
Theme refers to the underlying central idea or universal truth communicated by a work of literature. It expresses the author's view on life, society, human nature or experience. A theme may be found in stories, art, movies and more. While a theme does not fully explain the work, it is one element that provides meaning and insight into the author's perspective.
Character traits
Character traits help readers understand why fictional characters act the way they do, predict their future actions, and comprehend their relationships. Authors bring characters to life through direct descriptions using adjectives or indirect examples of what characters say, think, feel, look like, and how others perceive them to help readers feel a certain way about each character.
Theme and symbolism
The document discusses themes and symbolism in literature. It defines a theme as the underlying central idea or universal truth that a work of literature communicates about life, society, human nature or the human condition. A theme expresses the author's view or raises questions, but does not completely explain the story. Symbolism represents one thing with another through objects, ideas or actions that have meaning known only to some. Both themes and symbols in literature require attention and interpretation to understand fully.
The masque of the red death2
- Symbols are things that represent other ideas or meanings, and are commonly used in literature. Allegories tell a story that simultaneously represents other abstract concepts.
- In an allegory, the surface story must engage readers while the underlying meanings must also be accessible. Poe's story of arrogance and death works on both the story and symbolic levels.
- Poe's fictional Red Death was likely based on the real Black Death plague of the 14th century, which killed millions in Europe. The story features a prince throwing a masquerade ball to ignore the plague raging around him.
