Christopher Fry as a Poet & Playwright
Christopher Fry was a 20th century British poet and playwright known for reviving poetic drama. He is regarded as one of the most lively dramatists of the time. Some of his most famous works include the verse dramas The Lady's Not for Burning, Thor with Angels, and A Sleep of Prisoners. His plays often dealt with themes of good and evil, man and God, and used lyrical language to explore characters' inner selves and quests for identity. Fry believed that using poetry in drama brought a deeper experience of the human condition. He was influenced by T.S Eliot and known for his innovative use of language charged with emotion in his spiritual and intellectual comedies and tragedies
Types of Diction
This document provides an overview of different types of diction including:
- Mono vs poly syllabic words, euphonious vs cacophonous, literal vs figurative, denotative vs connotative, active vs passive voice
- Concrete vs abstract language, hyperbole vs understatement, pedestrian vs pedantic, vulgarity, slang, jargon, cliche
- Informal vs formal/literate diction
- Literary devices like assonance, consonance, alliteration, and onomatopoeia
It includes examples from works like Romeo and Juliet, A Farewell to Arms, The Great Gatsby, Hard Times, and To Kill a Mockingbird
Semicolons Notes
The document provides rules and examples for using semicolons to join independent clauses and items in a series. It states that semicolons should be used sparingly, with no more than 1-2 in a 2,000 word essay. Semicolons can join two independent clauses that are closely related, or an independent clause and an introductory phrase. They can also be used to separate items in a series when the items contain commas. Quotation marks always take precedence over colons and semicolons.
Diction Use
This document discusses different types of word choice or diction used in writing, including objective vs subjective, vulgarity, informal/standard, and formal/literate diction. Objective language is impersonal while subjective is personal. Vulgarity is deficient in taste. Informal/standard diction is correct but conversational, while formal/literate diction is appropriate for more formal occasions. Examples of each type are provided from classic works of literature.
Influence of ‘Theatre of Absurd’ on play ‘The Birthday Party’
The document discusses how Harold Pinter's play "The Birthday Party" was influenced by the Theatre of the Absurd movement. Some key aspects of the Absurd are presented including the idea that life is meaningless and purposeless. Important plays and playwrights of this movement are mentioned like Beckett, Ionesco, and Genet. The summary then analyzes how the play incorporates elements of the Absurd through its broad comedy, menacing effects, hopeless characters, and ambiguous/mysterious elements. It also notes how identities seem to shift and contradict in the play.
Steinbeck's Second Seal
1) The document analyzes John Steinbeck's novella "The Red Pony" and how it uses symbolism and simple language to explore the inevitable topic of death.
2) It discusses how the story is told from the perspective of a young boy, Jody, whose simple thoughts and questions about death mirror how children process complex issues.
3) Key symbols like the colors red and gold/green are used to represent death and life throughout the story, particularly in the descriptions of the titular red pony who becomes sick.
4) The analysis argues the simple language and symbolism come together to generate a thoughtful tone about facing mortality and whether people will be defeated by death or rise above it.
Slavery Module: Lesson fifteen
The document provides instructions for a class assignment on Harriet Tubman. Students are asked to take out their homework on Harriet Tubman and use it to complete a 6 question entry task.

Students are assigned to read independently and complete an exit ticket with questions about slavery and analyzing poetry.
The Innocents
The document discusses the novella "The Turn of the Screw" by Henry James and its film adaptation "The Innocents" directed by Jack Clayton. It notes some key similarities and differences between the source material and the film version, including character development and ambiguity. It also questions whether Deborah Kerr was the best casting choice for the main character given differences from the novella. Finally, it analyzes Clayton's approach to adapting the novella and maintaining or altering elements of ambiguity and interpretation.
