Animal farm
George Orwell's Animal Farm satirizes totalitarianism through the lens of farm animals who overthrow their human farmer. It was difficult for Orwell to publish initially due to its political themes. The work comments on the dangers of propaganda, personality cults, and how revolutions can fail without shared values. Orwell aimed to use clear, direct language as a political tool and commentary on historical events like the Russian Revolution.
Animal Farm
George Orwell's novel Animal Farm is summarized as follows:
1. Animal Farm tells the story of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer and take control of the farm, establishing their own society with ideals of equality and justice for all animals.
2. However, the pigs who lead the rebellion slowly start acting like the humans, taking more than their share of the food and exerting their power over the other animals.
3. By the end, the pigs have established a totalitarian dictatorship and the farm is being run no differently than it was under the human farmers, showing how even the highest of ideals can be corrupted over time.
Narrative theorists
The document discusses several narrative and textual analysis theories. It describes Roland Barthes' idea that a text can have multiple meanings and his definition of narrative codes like action and enigma. It also outlines Jacques Derrida's expansion on Barthes and Levi-Strauss' concept of binary oppositions in texts, and Vladimir Propp's analysis of elements in fairy tales. Additionally, it summarizes Tzvetan Todorov's five-step model of narrative structure involving equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempt to repair, and new equilibrium.
The Hero Journey
The document discusses the concept of the "hero's journey" storyline that is found across many cultures and stories. Joseph Campbell's research identified common stages in this narrative structure, including the hero's birth and humble origins, a period of exile and learning survival skills in childhood, and a series of trials faced by the hero once they accept a call to adventure. Popular books that follow this hero journey pattern, like Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia, were among the most beloved by Australian children in a recent survey.

Wells that speculated about developments like artificial life, space travel, and weapons technology decades before they became reality. It also discusses influential science fiction authors from Hong Kong and how Isaac Asimov established the Three Laws of Robotics to explore concerns about developing robotics.
Animal farm
George Orwell's 1945 political satire Animal Farm is a fable that uses farm animals to represent people and events in the Russian Revolution. The animals on Manor Farm overthrow their human owner and establish an egalitarian society under the commandment "All animals are equal." However, the pigs, led by Napoleon, slowly start taking control and corrupt the revolution's ideals until the animals are no worse off than before. In the end, the pigs cannot be distinguished from the humans they replaced, showing how power corrupts absolute power absolutely.
Top Girls
The document discusses the plays Top Girls by Caryl Churchill and how it draws influence from Bertolt Brecht's epic theatre techniques. It notes how Churchill and Brecht both use their work to take controversial ideological stances while entertaining audiences. Some of the epic techniques the play uses include verfremdungseffekt, montage, geste, and rejecting cathartic emotional spectatorship in favor of critical reflection. The structure of Top Girls eschews suspenseful plotting in favor of loosely connected episodic scenes that build a feminist critique of traditional patriarchal dramatic forms and values.

Dull Gret is based on the subject of the painting "Dulle Griet" by Pieter Breughel, which depicts a woman leading other women into Hell to fight devils. In the play, Gret says she and other women "gave the devils such a beating." This character would have been unconventional for women in 16th century England, when women were usually expected to marry and raise children. Gret is crude, eats voraciously, and has difficulty with social conventions and conversation. She can be compared to the independently-minded characters of Beatrice in "Much Ado About Nothing" and Jane Eyre, who do not rely on men despite hardships.
Information sheets for introduction to poetry

Churchill and Drama
Caryl Churchill is a British playwright born in 1938 who had early success with her play Owners in 1972. She is known for her postmodern Brechtian-style theatre which features nonlinear storytelling, breaking the dramatic frame, and use of multimedia. Her plays reject notions of high and low art through pastiche, fragmentation, and audience participation.
Coursework preparation - Much Ado about Nothing and Top Girls
The document provides guidance for an internal assessment assignment comparing two dramatic texts: a core Shakespeare text and a partner text from any author or time period. It emphasizes that essays should focus primarily on the Shakespeare text, using the partner text to illuminate it. It also notes that Assessment Objective 3, which addresses contextual relationships between texts, is doubly weighted. Students must choose their partner text carefully based on what insights it can provide into exploring those relationships and contextual influences. The document concludes by listing some potential themes students could explore and emphasizes fully researching both contexts while focusing primarily on the Shakespeare text.
Top Girls: Caryl Churchill-Context
Churchill wrote 'Top Girls' in opposition to Margaret Thatcher's capitalist policies of the 1980s in Britain. She saw Thatcherism as a negative shift away from socialism. The play depicts a dinner party with a career woman from the 1980s hosting historical and fictional female figures. It explores the differing concepts of feminism between Britain and America during this time period.
Feminist theatre
The document discusses the emergence and development of feminist theatre in the late 1960s and 1970s in response to the underrepresentation and oppression of women in the mainstream theatre world. It outlines different waves and approaches of feminism, such as liberal, radical, and socialist feminism.

Bronwyns Feminist Art History Presentation
This document discusses the history and evolution of feminism through three waves. The first wave in the late 19th/early 20th century focused on legal rights like voting and property ownership. The second wave in the 1960s-70s aimed to radically change society and culture by critiquing patriarchal systems. Second wave feminists believed gender was socially constructed. The third wave from the 1990s addressed limitations of previous waves by recognizing diversity among women. Art history has also evolved, from ignoring or objectifying women, to critiquing the "male gaze" and elevating women artists.
Threewaves
The document summarizes the history and key aspects of three waves of feminism:
First wave feminism emerged in the late 19th century and focused on gaining legal rights like suffrage, education access, and property rights. It largely involved upper class white women. The second wave began in the 1960s and addressed issues like employment discrimination, reproductive rights, and cultural representations of women. It was more diverse but also divided. The third wave from the 1980s onward incorporated issues of race, sexuality and backlash while critiquing aspects of previous waves. It emphasized diversity and countercultures over direct political action alone.
Theoretical perspectives -feminism
Feminism aims to challenge patriarchal power structures and promote gender equality. It analyzes how media transmit cultural values and reinforce patriarchal ideology through gender stereotypes. Feminist media theory examines how media construct ideas of femininity and masculinity, and how the "male gaze" objectifies women for the male viewer. While early representations often reduced women to victims or sex objects, modern media have more empowering female characters, though some argue this is just new stereotypes. Feminism continues working for true equality in public and private spheres.
Feminist criticism final
Feminist criticism examines literature from a feminist perspective by analyzing the portrayal and treatment of women. It has two premises: 1) how women are presented by male authors from a male point of view and 2) how women are presented by female authors from a female point of view. Feminist criticism aims to understand gender inequality and promote women's rights. There are three waves of feminism - first wave focused on women's suffrage, second wave on social inequality, and third wave on diversity and intersectionality. Major feminist theorists discussed include Beauvoir, Showalter, Irigaray, Cixous, and Haraway.
Feminism
Feminism is a collection of movements and ideologies aimed at defining and establishing equal political, economic, and social rights for women. It has occurred in three waves, focusing on women's suffrage, gender equality, and continued issues of oppression, respectively. Feminism explores the interconnected nature of concepts like patriarchy, sexism, and women's status globally that contribute to women's inequality. It aims to challenge these systems through perspectives like liberal, radical, socialist, and postcolonial feminism.

Star wars: the hero
Campbell discovered that myths from around the world frequently follow the archetypal hero's journey structure of leaving ordinary life, undergoing an initiation through trials, and returning with knowledge to benefit society. Lucas consciously based Star Wars on this mythic structure. The hero's journey depicts the human potential for transformation and is universally compelling because it resonates with our innate psychology.

Myth presentation
Star Trek is an effective modern mythology that helps people identify with humanity as a whole rather than just a local group. It presents aspirational visions of human progress and values like tolerance. Some key elements that make it mythological include its philosophical themes, archetypal heroes like Kirk that model human ideals, and use of allegory to discuss social issues. It also incorporates symbolic and villain elements found in classic mythology to teach moral lessons. An episode like "Darmok" shows how mythology can promote cross-cultural understanding through shared stories and metaphors.

Unit 1 WJEC unseen poetry higher - past questions
Both poems discuss making the most of life's opportunities. In "Carpe Diem", the poet urges seizing each day and enjoying simple pleasures like food and nature rather than worrying about the future. "Turning" also focuses on living in the present and appreciating small moments like touching hands by a river. While "Carpe Diem" has a cheerful tone, "Turning" has a more melancholy mood as it reflects on a lost summer romance. Overall, the poems convey similar messages about embracing each day but have different emotional impacts.

Revision: Social class - Themes and context
The document discusses how class shapes the characters and events in the play "Blood Brothers". It examines the social classes of working class, represented by the Johnstone family, and middle class, represented by the Lyons family. The working class faced poverty, unemployment, and lower opportunities compared to the comfortably off middle class families. This contrast in social circumstances between the two families, and how it influences the characters of Mickey and Eddie who are separated at birth, is a central theme explored in the play.
Blood Brothers: Tell Me It's Not True
The document is a poem where Mrs. Johnstone and a company are pleading with someone to tell them that something tragic they heard is not true. They ask the person to say it was just a story or dream and not real, comparing it to an old movie or scene that is now over. They ask the person to say they didn't mean what happened and that it was just pretend, hoping that the morning will bring the realization that it was not true.
Blood Brothers: Council Chamber
Mickey finds out from his mother that he had a twin brother who was given away at birth because his mother could not afford to keep both boys. His mother gave one of the twins to a woman who could not have children. Upon learning this, Mickey becomes upset and questions why he was not the one who was given away. The narrator then tells the story of the Johnstone twins, who were as alike as two new pins but one was kept while the other was given away, and how they were both born and died on the same day.

For the second scene, it asks about the circular narrative structure, how to annotate the song by linking back to the prologue, how the audience feels about Mrs. Johnstone, what role the narrator has played, and whether it is "just a story".
Blood Brothers: One Day in October
The narrator describes how it was a day in October when the sun began to fade and winter broke summer's promise, as the rain came falling down and someone claimed to see the bogeyman in town. Mickey tells his mother that Linda is pregnant, and when she asks if he loves her and when the wedding will be, he responds that they were thinking about a month, before Christmas.
Blood Brothers: Light Romance
The document is a collection of song lyrics and dialogue from the musical "Blood Brothers" that tell the story of Mickey and Linda.

Linda calls the councilor's office looking for Eddie Lyons as Mrs. Johnstone warns Linda that Mickey has a gun. The town is in danger as the lyrics describe a madman on the loose who is out to shoot someone down.
Blood Brothers: Marilyn Monroe 3
The document is a song describing Mickey's struggle with depression after being released from prison. It details how Mickey was prescribed daily pills by a doctor to treat his chronic depression, but has become dependent on them.
