1George OrwellWhy I WriteFrom a very early age, perh.docxfelicidaddinwoodie

George Orwell
Why I Write
From a very early age, perhaps the age of five or six, I knew that when I grew up I should be a writer. Between the ages of about seventeen and twenty-four I tried to abandon this idea, but I did so with the consciousness that I was outraging my true nature and that sooner or later I should have to settle down and write books.
I was the middle child of three, but there was a gap of five years on either side, and I barely saw my father before I was eight. For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely, and I soon developed disagreeable mannerisms which made me unpopular throughout my schooldays. I had the lonely child's habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated and undervalued. I knew that I had a facility with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life. Nevertheless the volume of serious — i.e. seriously intended — writing which I produced all through my childhood and boyhood would not amount to half a dozen pages. I wrote my first poem at the age of four or five, my mother taking it down to dictation. I cannot remember anything about it except that it was about a tiger and the tiger had ‘chair-like teeth’ — a good enough phrase, but I fancy the poem was a plagiarism of Blake's ‘Tiger, Tiger’. At eleven, when the war or 1914-18 broke out, I wrote a patriotic poem which was printed in the local newspaper, as was another, two years later, on the death of Kitchener. From time to time, when I was a bit older, I wrote bad and usually unfinished ‘nature poems’ in the Georgian style. I also attempted a short story which was a ghastly failure. That was the total of the would-be serious work that I actually set down on paper during all those years.
However, throughout this time I did in a sense engage in literary activities. To begin with there was the made-to-order stuff which I produced quickly, easily and without much pleasure to myself. Apart from school work, I wrote vers d'occasion, semi-comic poems which I could turn out at what now seems to me astonishing speed — at fourteen I wrote a whole rhyming play, in imitation of Aristophanes, in about a week — and helped to edit a school magazines, both printed and in manuscript. These magazines were the most pitiful burlesque stuff that you could imagine, and I took far less trouble with them than I now would with the cheapest journalism. But side by side with all this, for fifteen years or more, I was carrying out a literary exercise of a quite different kind: this was the making up of a continuous ‘story’ about myself, a sort of diary existing only in the mind. I believe this is a common habit of children and adolescents. As a very small child I used to imagine that I was, say, Robin Hood, and picture myself as th ...
Writing in Different Genres: Why, Why Not, and How ToVincent O'Neil
Presentation outlining some of the reasons why writers might try creating works in more than one genre, complete with definitions, guidance, and examples.
To fully understand a text, it is important to consider its context. Knowing the circumstances in which something was created helps the audience understand how it came about and what it may be referring to. Context includes historical background, social/cultural influences, and information about the author's environment and experiences. Determining context involves using background knowledge, clues from the text itself, and research. Considering a work's context when analyzing it can illuminate aspects that may otherwise be difficult, vague or ambiguous.
The document provides an overview of nonfiction writing including its defining characteristics and some common forms of nonfiction.

The memoir Reckoning by Magda Szubanski explores the author's journey to understand her identity and come to terms with her family's history. Szubanski uses the memoir format to uncover secrets about her father's role in the Polish resistance during World War 2 and evaluate the impact of her family's past on her life. The memoir adheres to conventions of the memoir genre by focusing on Szubanski's personal experiences and emotions over strict chronology. It also manipulates conventions through its blending of Szubanski and her father's stories in an episodic, theme-based structure rather than a solely chronological narrative.
The Whys and Hows of Research in Personal WritingJodie Nicotra
This document discusses how to use research in personal writing. Unlike academic writing, research in personal writing aims to blend seamlessly into the narrative so readers are unaware it is there. The document provides examples from Chuck Klosterman's essay where he incorporates research from a book by Donna Gaines in an informal citation style, without directly citing page numbers. The document notes research can include historical facts, interviews, and discovering details about people as shown in a passage from a work by Carrie Brownstein. The key is to internalize source material and include only the most important details to maintain a strong personal voice and flow.
The document defines and provides characteristics for several genres of literature including realistic fiction, fantasy, poetry, mystery, fairy tales, informational texts, biography, autobiography, drama, historical fiction, science fiction, fables, and more. For each genre, examples are given and it is noted that authors typically write in these genres to entertain readers or inform them about important topics and real people.

Stock photography involves photographers submitting photos to agencies that license the photos for businesses and other clients to use. Agencies make money by charging clients licensing fees to use the photos and photographers typically earn $1-200 per photo licensed. Popular stock photo agencies include Getty Images, Corbis, and ShutterStock. To get started, photographers can upload photos to free sharing sites like MorgueFile to build their portfolio and get feedback before submitting to paid agencies. Photographers need to understand copyright and licensing issues to succeed in stock photography.
Themes in photography help photographers focus their eye, projects, and develop their artistic style by challenging themselves. Themes center around specific elements like numbers, shapes, periods of time, concepts, stories, people, or ideas to provide constraints that push photographers' creativity. Themes can be anything a photographer chooses to use as a focus for a set of photos.

It also assigns students the challenge of taking portraits of 20-30 strangers by the end of the week to reflect emotion or personality without retouching.
Romeo and Juliet exchange flirtatious banter using religious metaphors. Romeo asks to kiss Juliet's hand, calling her lips "blushing pilgrims." Juliet plays along, but says lips are for prayer, not kissing. Romeo insists lips can pray like hands, and kisses Juliet after she agrees saints may grant prayers.
Shakespeare introduced nearly 3,000 new words to the English language and had a vocabulary of over 29,000 words. Understanding Shakespeare can be difficult because meanings of words have changed and pronunciations were different. Shakespeare mostly wrote in poetic forms like blank verse, rhyming couplets, and sonnets, reserving prose for scenes requiring wit or lower-status characters. Puns, wordplay, and inventive uses of language were common in Shakespeare's works.
Friar Laurence is a member of a Catholic order who has taken vows of poverty, chastery, and obedience. He works with herbs and plants and knows Romeo from previous interactions. In Act II, Scene iii, Friar Laurence counsels Romeo about his quickly shifting affection from Rosaline to Juliet, questioning whether Romeo's love is genuine. The Friar plays an advisory role to both Romeo and Juliet throughout the story that has pivotal consequences.
The document discusses Mercutio's famous speech about Queen Mab in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. It examines what is known about Romeo's dreams, Queen Mab's role as a fairy who delivers dreams, and Mercutio's perspective on dreams. Mercutio tells the fantastic story of Queen Mab to Romeo to portray what kind of imaginative and unpredictable person Mercutio is, and the scene aims to reveal details about the characters.
The document discusses tone in writing and provides examples from literature. It defines tone as an author's attitude and how tone influences the story's mood and atmosphere. It then analyzes tone in passages from various works, identifying tones like serious, sarcastic, humorous and their effect on the reader.
The document discusses wordiness and provides examples of wordy versus concise writing. It encourages getting to the point, staying on topic, using plain language instead of fancy words, examining sentence structure, avoiding passive voice, and making writing concise overall. Some tips include removing extra words, shortening sentences, and focusing on the key ideas. The document provides examples for "making it wordy" and "making it concise" as practice exercises.
Italics, underlines, and quotation marks are used to emphasize certain words and parts of texts. Underlines were originally used in handwritten drafts to indicate where italics should be used in printing. Now, underlines are used for handwritten text and italics or underlines can be used in typed text. Italics and underlines are used for titles of complete works, ships, trains, and planes, while quotation marks are used for short texts in a larger collection. Foreign phrases in common usage are not italicized, while unfamiliar foreign words and phrases are. Words referring to themselves are also italicized.
The document discusses the differences between dashes and hyphens in punctuation. It provides:
1) Dashes are used to dramatically set off interrupting words or phrases in a sentence, or to emphasize a key word. Hyphens are used to combine compound words or divide words at line breaks.
2) Hyphens are half as long as dashes and are used to combine prefixes and suffixes or divide words between syllables.
3) The document provides examples of proper uses of dashes and hyphens in sentences.
The semicolon combines two independent clauses and implies a close relationship between the clauses. It is used more frequently than a period but implies less finality. The semicolon can join two related independent clauses or items in a list that already contain commas. It is used sparingly and properly between closely related independent clauses or items in a list.
The document discusses parallelism in writing and provides examples of proper and faulty parallel construction. It defines parallelism as having closely related parts of a sentence fit harmoniously together. It then provides examples of parallelism in form, logic, and relationship and formulas for creating parallel structures.
The document provides background information on Shakespeare's Macbeth, including that it was written in 1606 during the reign of King James I of England, who believed in supernatural influences and witches. It discusses the ancestry of some characters to King James I and the historical setting of 11th century Scotland, where Duncan is king and Macbeth is a general in his army. It also notes some key differences between how people thought in Shakespeare's time versus today in the post-Darwinian age.
This document provides guidelines for writing strong essays, including tips on different methods of development, essay structure, and key elements. The various methods of development covered are exposition, narrative, compare/contrast, process, and definition. For each part of the essay, the document offers guidelines and examples, such as focusing on one clear thesis, using evidence to support points, and restating the thesis in the conclusion. The overall message is that following basic structural guidelines can help students write effective essays.
The document provides tips for improving formal writing. It distinguishes between topics and thesis statements, advising that a thesis is a specific opinion about a topic. It recommends not summarizing unless instructed, and focusing on an argument to prove to the reader. The document also suggests avoiding self-reference and using titles correctly, with longer works underlined and shorter works in quotation marks. When quoting, the tips say to integrate quotes and use ellipses for omitted text. Verb tenses, capitalization, and avoiding mistakes are also addressed.
The document discusses the importance of context when analyzing literature. It provides an excerpt from the poem "The Man He Killed" by Thomas Hardy and asks how to determine what war is being described. Understanding the context includes knowing when the poem was written and where the author lived. Thomas Hardy wrote this poem in 1902 as an Englishman, so it is referring to the Boer War between Britain and Dutch settlers in South Africa. Understanding the historical, social, and political conditions during which a work was created can help illuminate ambiguous parts of the text.
