The document summarizes research by John Gottman identifying four behaviors - termed "The Four Horsemen" - that are warning signs of a failing relationship: criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling.

The document discusses modernist manifestos from several early 20th century authors. It provides excerpts from manifestos by F.T. Marinetti, Mina Loy, Ezra Pound, Willa Cather, William Carlos Williams, and Langston Hughes. The manifestos declare the authors' artistic convictions and independence, calling for breaking traditions and presenting art through suggestion rather than enumeration. Marinetti's manifesto glorifies war and destroying museums, while Loy calls for absolute demolition of traditional lies.
This document discusses several poems by Robert Frost including "The Gift Outright", "Home Burial", "After Apple-Picking", "'Out, Out—'", "Desert Places", "Design", "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening", "The Road Not Taken", "The Oven Bird", and "Directive". It analyzes Frost's exploration of themes like mortality, the absence of God, and human powerlessness. It provides quotes and brief descriptions of these poems that reflect on these themes.

Henry James was born in 1843 to a wealthy Manhattan family and moved to Europe as a teenager for his education. He settled permanently in England in 1876 and wrote novels influenced by realism, including Daisy Miller about a young American woman in Europe whose free-spirited manners clash with social expectations. James explored the differences between American and European cultures and sensibilities in his works. His stories often featured Americans traveling to Europe or expatriates returning home grappling with questions of identity and morality.
This document discusses debates around the concept of "Americanization" from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It presents quotes from Frederick Jackson Turner, Theodore Roosevelt, Albert Beveridge, José Martí, Helen Hunt Jackson, and Jane Addams that discuss different perspectives on what it means to become American and the assimilation of immigrants. The quotes reflect both support for immigrants becoming fully assimilated into American culture as well as concerns about maintaining heritage and identity.
During the period from 1865-1914, the United States underwent a transformation from a largely rural, agricultural nation to a more urban, industrialized one. This was driven by territorial expansion across North America and abroad, large-scale immigration from Europe, and rapid industrialization. Literature of the period largely took a realistic or naturalistic approach, reflecting new urban and industrial settings as well as social issues like wealth disparity. Realism aimed to present truthful depictions of life, while naturalism saw human actions as shaped by biological and environmental factors beyond one's control.
This document discusses different types of modifiers - misplaced, dangling, and squinting modifiers - and provides examples to illustrate each. A misplaced modifier is one that is not placed next to the word it modifies. A dangling modifier does not logically refer to any word in the sentence. A squinting modifier seems to modify two words at the same time, causing confusion. The document provides examples from student essays that demonstrate misplaced and dangling modifiers, resulting in humorous or nonsensical meanings. It encourages readers to check their own writing for these types of errors and provides practice examples to correct.
