riting About LiteratureGenerally, the essays you write in litera.docxdaniely50
riting About Literature
Generally, the essays you write in literature courses attempt to answer interesting questions about works of literature. These questions are interesting for at least two reasons: a) their answers are not obvious, and b) their answers (or at least the attempt to answer them) can enrich other readers’ understanding and experience of those works of literature. Often works of literature seem to be intentionally posing these questions to us; they require us to do some work to get them to work.
Readers have asked many different types of questions of works of literature, for example:
What did the author want to communicate in this work?
What does the work reveal about the author’s feelings, opinions, or psychology?
What does the work reveal about the society in which it was written?
What can we learn from this work about the issues or topics it deals with?
What motivates the characters in the work to behave as they do?
How are literary devices used in the work?
How does the work create emotional or intellectual experiences for its readers?
Is this work good or bad?
Is this work good or bad for its readers?
Some of these questions require information from outside the text itself; for example, to argue that a work reveals a writer’s psychological condition, it would be helpful to have some other evidence of that condition to corroborate your interpretation of the work of literature. Some of these questions ask about the world outside the work—about the author, his/her society, or our own society, for example—while others try to focus more on the features of the work itself.
Analyses which try to make statements about the work itself
is often called
formalist
criticism: it attends more to the structures and strategies employed in the work. Ultimately, such arguments generally do try to move beyond the work, to claim, for instance, that it is likely to create certain effects in its readers, or that readers will understand the writer’s intent more clearly if they pay attention to its formal characteristic.
In LIT 100, we are going to be paying attention primarily to these formal features of literary works. In fiction, some of these features include tone, point of view, setting, character, etc. We will be paying less attention to extra-textual features, such as the author’s biography or the historical contexts in which the literature was produced and/or read; these elements are not less important than formal features, but they naturally vary greatly from one work to another and often require in-depth study to truly appreciate. To understand how Shakespeare’s social situation in London in the 1590s might have been reflected in his plays would require a whole course in Elizabethan history. On the other hand, the formal features we will be studying in this course can be found in literature of all eras and genres, though they may often be used to different effect by different writers at different times.

My knowledge has changed by understanding exactly what supporting details are. When filing supporting details, the sentences that start with words that are addition words. I believe it was beneficial because it made it simple and gave me more knowledge I didn't know. It also is a good way to help throughout my college courses what to look for when reading.

My prior knowledge about supporting details have changed after viewing the video. I now know a outline is made up of a main idea followed by a numbered list of the key supporting details. I have a better understanding of supporting details now. I do believe this chapter lesson was beneficial in increasing my knowledge because this video broke it down for better understanding. It gave examples to go by. This video helped me more.
Exploration of one or more characteristic(s) of an author's style and approach
Consider analyzing the author's use of imagery or setting:
Analyzing Setting
“Setting refers to the natural or artificial scenery or environment in which characters in literature live and move. Seeing also includes what in the theater would be called props or properties—the implements employed by the characters in various activities. Such things as the time of day and the consequent amount of light at which an event occurs, the flora and fauna, the sounds described, the smells, and the weather are also part of the setting. Paintbrushes, apples, pitchforks, rafts, six-shooters, watches, automobiles, horses and buggies, and innumerable other items belong to the setting. References to clothing, descriptions of physical appearance, and spatial relationships among the characters are also part of setting.” (Edgar V. Roberts, Writing Themes about Literature)
In order to create an argument about the function of the setting in a particular work, you need to identify the principal settings and to see how they work. Here are some steps you can take:
1) Read the story and mark references to setting. Start with the place and time of the action and then focus upon recurrent details and objects.
2) Think about what the story is about. What happens? What is its point? Is it a story about love, jealousy, gain, or loss? What is the main experience here?
3) Look through your setting notes and see if they fall into any pattern. What are the interesting shifts and contrasts?
4) Determine how the setting relates to either the main point of the story (step 2) or to some part of it. In other words what does the setting have to do with character or action? What are its effects? Whatever you decide here will be your thesis statement.
5) Make an outline, indicating what aspects of setting you will discuss and what you intend to say about them. Discard notes that are not central to your plan (you don’t have to discuss everything). Focus on the four or five key passages in the story that you wish to examine. ...
Patterns of paragraph development: Narration, Description & DefinitionLy Lugatiman
This is a power point presentation on topics narration, description, definition which are the first three patterns of development in reading & writing skills.
The document outlines eight patterns of development used in writing: narration, description, definition, classification and exemplification, comparison and contrast, cause and effect, problem-solution, and persuasion. It provides examples and characteristics of each pattern, including signal words commonly used to indicate each pattern. For narration, description, and definition, it discusses different varieties within each pattern such as objective vs. subjective description.
This document provides guidance on how to write a successful literary analysis paper. It discusses developing an argumentative thesis statement that makes an original interpretation of the text. It also outlines how to structure the paper with an introduction that presents the thesis and a body that supports it with evidence from the text. The conclusion should reiterate the key points without simply restating them. Character analysis, literary elements, rhetorical devices, and establishing a controlling idea for each paragraph are also covered.
This document provides information and instructions for students regarding their culminating activity portfolio for the Humanities and Social Sciences subject. It defines what a portfolio is and discusses the different types of portfolios. It explains that for this activity, students will combine elements of a showcase portfolio and standards-based portfolio to showcase their best work reflecting the learning goals and subjects in HUMSS. The document outlines the parts the portfolio should include, such as a cover page, table of contents, selected work samples, and a personal vision statement. It provides guidance on how to present and describe the selected work samples. Overall, the document aims to guide students in creating an organized portfolio that demonstrates their learning and achievements in the HUMSS subject area.
This document outlines the key properties of well-written text, including organization, structure, coherence, cohesion, language use, and mechanics. It defines each property and provides examples. Organization refers to the logical progression and completeness of ideas. Structure involves a text's beginning, middle and end. Coherence and cohesion relate to how easy a text is to understand and how well its elements are connected. Language use involves style, tone and clarity. Mechanics covers spelling, punctuation, grammar and other technical writing elements. The document provides questions to guide writers in employing these properties when composing their own text.
The document discusses the importance of mechanics in writing, including spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and paragraphs. It provides examples of different mechanics such as punctuation marks, abbreviations, acronyms, contractions, and types of sentences. The goal is for students to learn mechanics and be able to apply them when writing texts and sentences about topics like COVID-19.
This document provides an interactive exercise to practice distinguishing between facts and opinions. It presents 7 statements and asks the user to identify each as a fact or opinion. After the user responds, it provides feedback on whether the answer was correct or incorrect, including a short explanation. The purpose is to help students learn the difference between objective facts and subjective opinions.
Stalin implemented five-year plans to industrialize and collectivize agriculture in the Soviet Union. This led to increased production in industries like steel, coal, and oil, making the Soviet Union a global superpower. However, collectivization involved taking land from peasants and forming collective farms, and workers who did not meet production targets faced punishment. The document contains both facts about economic changes under Stalin and opinions about his leadership that are either supportive or critical.
The document discusses various literary elements and devices used in storytelling such as alliteration, foreshadowing, characterization, setting, symbolism, metaphor, and irony. It explores how authors employ sensory details, flashbacks, and biography to craft vivid narratives with realistic characters and events. Conflict, history, and theme are also examined in relation to imbuing stories with depth and meaning.
This document discusses paraphrasing as a reading strategy. Paraphrasing involves restating a text in your own words to help understand its meaning. It should convey the original idea without copying. The steps are to read the original passage closely, understand the meaning, then rewrite it without directly quoting. A good paraphrase is in your own words, at least as long as the original, explains a difficult concept, and accurately conveys the original meaning. Paraphrasing helps comprehension and avoids plagiarism.
This document discusses various patterns of development that can be used when writing across disciplines. It describes different methods for presenting and developing ideas such as narration, description, definition, classification, comparison/contrast, cause and effect, and persuasion. Skillful writers may employ a combination of these methods when constructing a well-developed paragraph. Examples are provided for some of the patterns to illustrate how they can be structured.
The document outlines the key elements needed to write an effective community action plan, including a vision, values, goals, and strategic framework. It discusses preparing a community profile to understand the area's characteristics. The community action plan should then have sections for an executive summary, table of contents, introduction describing the plan's development and management, and an action plan laying out objectives, solutions, responsibilities, budgets, timelines, and expected outcomes. Supporting documents and appendices provide further details to back up the plan. The overall purpose is to thoroughly plan activities to address community issues and work towards progress.

The barangay also addressed challenges such as fires and typhoons.
week 3-ORAL COMMUNICATION IN CONTEXT - Copy.pptxEVAMAEBONGHANOY5
This document discusses types of communicative strategies that can be used in oral communication. It defines strategies like nomination, restriction, turn-taking, topic control, topic shifting, repair, and termination. For each strategy, it provides examples of how it can be used in conversations. It also includes activities for students to practice different strategies, such as creating a tourism commercial or analyzing movie scenes. The goal is for students to understand how to distinguish and apply acceptable communicative strategies in various contexts.
The document discusses how to write a strong thesis statement, including identifying the key elements of a thesis statement such as being a complete sentence, taking a stand on an issue, and requiring support or evidence. It also provides examples of weak and strong thesis statements and explains that a strong thesis statement should be clear, precise, and restricted in scope. The purpose of a thesis statement is to answer what the opinion or main point is, what will be illustrated, and what will be defined or argued in the paper.
The document provides information about various techniques that can be used for summarizing academic texts. It discusses summarizing as reducing text size while retaining the main ideas and clearly conveying the author's meaning. The document then lists 10 techniques for summarizing, including reading the work first, presenting information visually, analyzing the text, restating ideas in your own words, and paraphrasing. It provides examples of applying techniques like the SAAM method and using a "Somebody Wanted But So Then" structure. The goal of the techniques is to accurately represent the most important facts, concepts, or ideas from a text in a brief, clear summary.
This document provides an overview of the main patterns of academic text structure: narration, description, definition, classification and exemplification. It defines each pattern and provides examples. Narration describes events in a story-like manner. Description provides details about objects, people or locations. Definition explains the meaning and characteristics of something. Classification divides things into categories, while exemplification provides specific examples to illustrate categories or ideas. The document also discusses characteristics of each pattern such as using sensory details for description and logical progression of events for narration.
Here are the academic language choices I think are most correct in each instance:
1. The essay has
2. turned out to be
3. funded
4. role
5. ironic
6. selected
7. represent
8. audience
9. assassination
10. created
The choices on the left generally use more formal, objective language suited for academic writing, while avoiding informal, subjective or emotive language.
This document discusses hypertext and intertext in reading and writing. It defines hypertext as non-linear text that uses links to allow readers to navigate between related pieces of information and create their own understanding. Hypertext is made possible by hyperlinks that can be clicked to access other text. The World Wide Web is a global system of hypertext information. Hypertext allows for a more interactive reading experience where the reader can access additional context and definitions through links. It also discusses how links now incorporate multimedia beyond just text. Reading and writing involves understanding how a text relates to other texts and contexts.
The document outlines the core values and guiding principles of community action, which include human rights, social justice, empowerment and advocacy, participatory development, and gender equality. It provides definitions and explanations of these concepts, emphasizing that they are fundamental beliefs that dictate behavior and help distinguish right from wrong. The values promote awareness of human rights, social equity, and empowerment of communities through information sharing, consultation, involvement and participation in development.
The document provides a weekly learning plan for May 16-20, 2022 for Grade 11 students. It outlines the daily schedule and topics for Reading and Writing lessons, which will focus on identifying the context in which a text was developed, including hypertext and intertext. Lessons will include activities and analysis questions to help students understand the importance of context in writing and how hypertext and intertext connect texts. The document defines key terms like context, hypertext, and intertext and their significance.
Critical reading involves analyzing and interpreting a text to understand its meaning and purpose beyond just comprehending the literal words. It requires reflecting on what the text does by considering things like the author's context, tone, and potential biases. Critical readers actively analyze evidence in a text rather than just absorbing the information. Some key components of critical thinking when reading include identifying the main idea, summarizing details, making inferences, drawing conclusions, analyzing sequences, and determining facts versus opinions.

2. Writing needs direction before your ideas slip away
Let these patterns in writing help you, if they may
If you tell a story of what happened, narration is the way
Description is when large, sweet or soft are words you say
If you tell the meaning of a concept, term or subject
And explain what something is, definition is what you expect
Put items related in categories or groups in any way,
Classification is definitely the game you play
Stating the reason and result, that’s cause and effect
You want to convince readers? Persuasion is perfect
When there’s an issue or problem and a solution is made today
Obviously, problem- solution pattern is on display
If similarities and differences are the ideas you collect
then comparison and contrast pattern is what you reflect
These are the patterns of developing the thoughts in your head
Remember that to achieve a particular purpose in the end, information
in a written text may be organized and selected.
9. I. Narration
- the most basic pattern of
development
- describes how, when, and where an
event or occurrence actually happened
-used to tell a story or focus on a set of
related events
10. Components of Narrative Text
1. LogicalActions
- are considered the very movements
within the plot or the narrative that
drive the characters forward, be it
during the dialogue, or within a scene
11. Example
It was late spring the last time we saw
Ross. He was standing at the edge of the hill,
and he never so much as looked up even
though we were sure he knew we were there.
There was a bunch of flowers clutched to his
fist, but there really was no reason for him to
be standing there. We knew that Carrie wasn't
coming to see him. But he stood there anyway,
waiting, even as the afternoon sunlight
deepened towards the evening. He must have
been standing there for hours.
12. 2. Way of Narration
-refers to how the writer presents the
story
-includes the pace by which scenes
are given out
* Having natural progression of time
to the events of the story makes a
good writing.
13. Clipped Narration
“He came and talked to us. Then he left the
house and then he drove the car back home.
Paced Narration
“He came and talked to us for a few moments.
He seemed upset, but he managed to get
through all the bad news. Shaking our hands
before he left the house come twilight, he
seemed to feel better now that he had delivered
the news. He waved from the car as he pulled
out of the driveway, narrowly missing the
mailbox again, and drove off to return home.”
14. 3. Terminology
- places emphasis on the fact that
concepts are critical to the narration
* Writers must choose how to address
terms and which ones they want to
use in order to create an appropriate
setting.
15. - words that identify things, places,
and events that can be measured and
observed
- terms that have physical
manifestation in our world
Examples:
spoon, dog, house
Concrete Terms
16. Abstract Terms
- refer to ideas or concepts that are
intangible
Examples:
love, freedom, feminism
17. General Terms
- commonly used to denote groups
Example: furniture
Specific Terms
- refer to an individual component of
the group
Examples:
cabinets, desks, chairs
18. Concrete: “He was shivering violently
from the cold.”
Abstract: “The joy in the air was
palpable.”
General: “He gave her a piece of
jewelry.”
Specific: “Each green stone had fire in
its facets.”
25. II. Description
- the pattern of development which
goes into details about a specific object,
person, or location, in order to firmly
set its appearance
What does it look like?
What are its characteristics?
26. Characteristics of Description
● has a clear focus and sense of
purpose
●uses sensory details and precise
words
● presents details in a logical order
27. Varieties of Description
1. Objective Description
- looks into factual and scientific
characteristics of what is being
described as objectively as possible
* The writer stays away from emotional
impressions or responses and instead,
describes the scene as it is.
28. Example
The Acer barbatum is a small to medium-sized,
deciduous tree usually ranging from 15 to 25 m.
(50 to 80 ft.) tall when mature. Its bark is light
gray and smooth on younger trees, and it becomes
ridged and furrowed with age. Leaves are opposite
and shallowly to deeply palmately lobed, with a
few blunt teeth but no serrations. The leaf sinuses
are rounded, unlike those of red maple (Acer
rubrum) which are sharply V-shaped. Also, the
sides of terminal leaf lobes are more or less
parallel, while those of red maple are widest at the
base, tapering to the tip.
29. 2. Subjective Description
-a sort of description that the author
would normally use to “paint a picture”
of how he sees a character, or how he
wants the reader to see a character
-also used in a literary discourse when
there is stereotyped image that can be
attributed to a person, place, or an
event.
30. Example
My mother had hair so dark
that it looked like a waterfall of ink.
She always kept it in a braid that fell
to her slim waist, and always tied
with a plain black band. The braid of
black slung over her shoulder, the
plaits shining like scales.
31. Writing Activity
Write a narrative text
about a time in your life
when you experienced an
emotion strongly. Try to
give as much detail as
possible.
33. Writing Activity
You are a writer of a travel
magazine. The editor of the magazine
asks you to write a travel article that
tells about a beautiful place where one
can spend a vacation. Your task is to
write a five-paragraph descriptive
article.
41. III. Definition
- explains not just what something
means or is, but also what something
does, what something is used for, what
something looks like, etc
42. Varieties of Definition
1. Scientific Definition
- defines concepts in the most factual
way, which is often used in scientific,
proper, or real world facts
43. 2. Subjective Definition
-defines the objects in a more personal
way
-usually derived from the author's own
experiences and opinion
-often used by a writer to state
something from the point of view of
the characters or in relation to the
setting
44. The term could be emphasized by the
following:
1. Characteristics or features
2. Function
3. Effect
4. Origin
46. Writing Activity

Specific Definition: You are a
medicine student. You would like to
write about the definition of a
controversial medical term in your blog.
The criteria in assessing your blog are
its appeal to the readers, accuracy of
information, and adherence to the style

53. Exemplification
-provides examples and illustrations in
order to further clarify or explain the
concept or subject matter
-presents the general statement and
then provides specific and concrete
examples to expound on the main idea

Dogs are domesticated animals that have
been living with humans for generations. Dogs
can be classified in a number of different ways.
For example, they can be classified by breed.
Examples of different breeds include beagles,
basset hounds, poodles and countless others as
defined by the American Kennel Club (AKC).
They can also be classified by their role in the
lives of their masters and the work they do. For
example, a dog might be a family pet, a working
dog, a show dog, or a hunting dog. In many cases,
dogs are defined both by their breed and their role.
For example, a dog could be a beagle that is a
family pet.

customer sent you an e-mail asking about
the different types of products you sell.

63. V. Comparison and
Contrast
- organizes ideas based on how events,
places, people, things, and concepts are
similar to or different from one another
a.separately -involves describing one
item first followed by the second item
b.side-by-side -involves discussing
both items based on each point of

Although I raised Marcee and Obbie from puppies,
they have completely diverse personalities. Obbie is a
six year old, male, toy Pomeranian whereas Marcee is
a one year old, female, Boston terrier. Obbie is small
and soft, unlike Marcee who has bristly hair and is
much bigger. Marcee insists on sleeping on the bed,
under the covers every night. On the other hand, Obbie
will only sleep on the floor, under the bed. Obbie is
tremendously loyal and uptight; however, Marcee is
hyper and friendly to anyone she meets or sees. Around
other dogs, Marcee cowers to the larger dog, yet Obbie
will always stand his ground, never giving up until he
is scolded. Given that they were both treated the same
way all their life, it is hard to believe that they are so
different in everything they do.
