In the end, Gabriel chooses not to remain in Ireland, representing Joyce's own choice not to stay in the declining country of his

Baldwin
James Baldwin (1924-1987) was an influential American author known for exploring themes of race, class, and sexuality in his novels, plays, essays and poetry. As a major voice of the civil rights movement, he spent much of his life living abroad in Europe. This document discusses whether Baldwin can be considered a postcolonial thinker given the specific history of African Americans and how his 1955 essay "Stranger in the Village" examines the experience of being the first black man encountered by white villagers in Switzerland. It raises questions about how Baldwin speaks to the general systems of Western domination versus the particular histories of colonized groups.

This document analyzes James Baldwin's short story "Sonny's Blues". It summarizes the plot, which follows two brothers - one who has struggled with drug addiction and another who feels he failed to protect his brother. Themes of poverty, racism, abandonment, failure and disappointment are explored. These themes reflect Baldwin's own difficult upbringing and experience with prejudice. In the end, the narrator finds that inspiration can be drawn from dark times to continue moving forward.

James Baldwin was an American writer born in 1924 in Harlem, New York. He grew up in poverty with his mother and eight siblings. Baldwin developed a passion for writing at a young age and served as a youth minister in his teens. Though the church shaped his life, he rejected Christianity at age 17. After high school, Baldwin took odd jobs to support his family instead of attending college. He explored themes of race, identity, and social issues in his influential writings.
Preparing for the Unexpected
The document provides information about preparing for disasters and experiences with disasters. It then gives biographical details of Pearl S. Buck, an American writer and Nobel Prize laureate. Next, it introduces characters from a story, including Kino, a curious farmer boy, his sister Setsu, and his friend Jiya, who is skeptical of the ocean despite being a fisherman's son. The document appears to discuss disaster preparedness and provide background on Pearl S. Buck and characters from a Japanese story.

Kill a mockingbird
To Kill a Mockingbird is set in the Southern United States during the 1930s Great Depression era of racial prejudice and legal segregation. The novel explores themes of racial injustice, gender roles, and social class through the eyes of 6-year-old Scout Finch. Her father, Atticus Finch, defends Tom Robinson, a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman, in a trial that is stacked against him due to the prejudices of the time. The 1930s setting is important as it was a period of economic hardship, racial tensions, and limited rights for women and black citizens that impacted the legal issues and injustices faced by characters in the story.

She advocated for women's equality and euthanasia, ending her own life in 1935 with an overdose of chloroform.
The Western
1) The Western genre has historically been used as a representation of American society and ideology over time.
2) Early Westerns portrayed Native Americans as obstacles to be overcome, but this changed in the 1950s as representations became more nuanced.
3) Iconic characters like the sheriff and cowboy embodied American values of justice and freedom but later Westerns increasingly served as criticism of American society and values.
Best Audiobooks App Condoleezza Rice
The document provides information about an audiobook that details the life of Condoleezza Rice, the first black female Secretary of State.

The audiobook is based on extensive interviews and explores Rice's relationship with Bush, her role in foreign policy decisions like the war in Iraq, and her ongoing attempts to shape international affairs.
Hero Myths: Tools for Analysis
This document discusses Joseph Campbell's concept of the monomyth or the hero's journey. It describes the common stages of Campbell's monomyth as departure, initiation, and return. It notes that Campbell's monomyth is popular among Hollywood writers but that some scholars criticize it for focusing too much on individualism and being biased against non-Western cultures. The document advocates analyzing hero stories by examining their original cultural context and meanings rather than just through Campbell's framework. It provides examples of analyzing the Greek myth of Perseus, the biblical story of Jonah, and the historical figure of Joan of Arc.
Write a brief paragraph addressing the question and including spec
The document provides discussion questions about three short stories by famous American authors Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and William Faulkner. For Hemingway's "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," students are asked whether the story provides evidence that Hemingway disliked or did not understand women. For Faulkner's works, students are tasked with discussing how his stories reflect the American South after the Civil War in terms of racial and class politics. Finally, for Fitzgerald's "Babylon Revisited," the role of money in the characters' lives is to be examined. Students are provided readings from the Norton anthology to address the questions.
Reframing 9:11
This document discusses how popular culture, such as films, television shows, music, and video games, have helped shape the national narrative around the 9/11 terrorist attacks and subsequent "War on Terror". It examines how these mediums have depicted American patriotism, fear, victimization, and the emergence of a collective national identity in response to the events. The essays in this book analyze popular culture works to better understand how 9/11 has been memorialized and how it permanently altered American national mythology. It argues that analyzing popular culture can provide insight into both the meaning and lasting impacts of 9/11 beyond just the official political rhetoric.
Assignment 4
This document contains summaries of 4 books:
1) Hitler Youth is about German children who were indoctrinated by Hitler and many joined the Hitler Youth organization willingly, not knowing they were supporting a mass murderer.
2) The Watsons Go to Birmingham focuses on an African American family visiting Birmingham in 1963 when the church their young daughter attended was bombed, traumatizing the main character.
3) We Are The Ship details the struggles of early African American baseball players in the 1900s who faced racism and helped establish the Negro National League before integration.
4) Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! contains 17 short plays set in a medieval manor about different characters in that society like a blacksmith
Golding
William Golding was a prominent English novelist and winner of the 1983 Nobel Prize for literature. He is known for novels like Lord of the Flies that explore the dark side of human nature. Lord of the Flies tells the story of British boys stranded on an island who descend into violence without adult guidance. Golding believed that anarchy ultimately defeats order as government cannot control human's innate barbarism. He wrote over 30 novels, short stories, plays and essays in his career exploring themes of humanity's fall from innocence.
Social and historical context
The document discusses the concept of the American Dream in the historical context of John Steinbeck's novel "Of Mice and Men". It describes how from the 17th century immigrants went to America in search of a better life and fortunes, though for many this dream turned into hardship with events like slavery, the Civil War, and the Great Depression. The characters George and Lennie dream of owning their own farm with rabbits and achieving prosperity through hard work, representing the idealized American Dream, though the novel explores how realistic this dream is.
Great Touching Photos
This document summarizes 14 historical photos that capture important moments in history. Some of the photos depicted include a famous photo of Che Guevara, a photo of a young girl dying after a volcanic eruption, photos showing the human impact of war including a young girl burned by napalm and a prisoner being executed, and photos highlighting social and political issues such as land rights, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and famine. The photos provide a visual representation of struggle, suffering and sacrifice throughout history.
William golding-biograhy
William Golding switched his college major from science to English literature after two years, marking a change from his father's rationalism. His experience in World War II, where he served in the Navy and witnessed violence and the human condition, most influenced his writing of Lord of the Flies. After the war, Golding returned to teaching but wrote three rejected novels before getting the idea for Lord of the Flies from a conversation with his wife about letting characters "behave as they really would" in a children's story. Lord of the Flies made him famous, though he continued writing and experienced periods of both fame and obscurity over his career until winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1983.
"Jack Kerouac"
Jean-Louis "Jack" Kerouac was an American novelist and poet born in 1922 who was a pioneer of the Beat Generation. Some of his most important books that explored the Beat lifestyle through traveling and Eastern philosophy included On the Road, The Subterraneans, and Dharma Bums. The Beat Generation of the 1950s, of which Kerouac was a part, rebelled against classic American values through drugs, sexual freedom, and Eastern philosophy as explored in other influential Beat works like Howl by Allen Ginsberg and Naked Lunch by William Burroughs.
Women i-admire
Abigail Adams advised her husband John Adams on political issues and took risks to advance the fledgling US nation behind the scenes. Ida B. Wells crusaded against lynching of African Americans in the US during a dangerous time. Eleanor Roosevelt influenced many areas of social and economic life in the US as First Lady and helped draft the UN Declaration of Human Rights.
Meet a wealthy man with a great heart and better actions
Julius Rosenwald was a wealthy businessman and philanthropist in the early 20th century who used his fortune from Sears, Roebuck & Co. to invest heavily in education and cultural programs for African Americans. He funded the construction of over 5,000 schools for black children in the rural South when education opportunities were limited. Rosenwald also established the Rosenwald Fund to support African American art and culture, helping launch the careers of writers like Langston Hughes. The documentary filmmaker hopes highlighting Rosenwald's story will encourage others to continue the Jewish tradition of philanthropic work.
Steinbeck 1930's
John Steinbeck was an American author born in 1902 in Salinas, California. Some of his most famous works include Of Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath. Of Mice and Men takes place in California's Salinas Valley during the Great Depression and focuses on the friendship between two migrant workers, George and Lenny. The novel examines the social issues and difficult lives of workers during that era.

Gabriel decides it is time to leave Ireland and journey westward. James Joyce critiques Ireland as a place unwilling to change and one that revels in corruption, hoping his stories capture this odor. Better to pass into another world in the full passion of life than to fade away in Ireland.

Can We Assess Creativity?
With the explosion of the maker movement, schools are beginning to embrace creativity. However, what does this mean for assessment? Should we assess the creative process? Should we assess the finished product? Does assessing creativity actually make kids more risk-averse? In this workshop we explore what it means to assess both the creative process and the creative product without leading to risk aversion.

Here are 3 key points about Gabriel's role in "The Dead":
1. Gabriel is central to the story as the main character and point-of-view character for much of the narrative. Removing him would significantly impact the plot, as many key events and revelations revolve around him.
2. Gabriel represents the Dublin middle-class and their struggles with Irish identity, tradition, and modernity. His interactions with characters like Miss Ivors shed light on these tensions. Removing him would lessen the social commentary.
3. Gabriel's epiphany at the end, realizing his disconnect from his wife and others, is truly the climax of the story. Without him having this revelation while listening to Gretta's story
