The document discusses point of view in literature. It defines point of view as the angle from which events are described, showing the feelings and opinions of those involved. Point of view reflects a character or author's perspective and is used to effectively convey emotions and experiences to readers. The three main points of view are first person using pronouns like "I", second person using "you", and third person using pronouns like "he" and "she". Examples from literature demonstrate how different points of view are used to share subjective feelings with readers.

First person, third person, omniscient. What are they? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Why should you think like the director of a film when considering point of view?
Think about an event (or series of events) that happened to you .docxirened6
Think about an event (or series of events) that happened to you as child which changed you or taught you a lesson. Tell the story in a short fiction piece or a poem using vivid sensory detail, but
tell it using a third person narrator
. Go beyond simply recording an important memory; turn your memory into a fully developed short story or poem using the third person.
Must you stick completely to the truth of what really happened? Nah. All writers are beautiful liars. To paraphrase the poet Richard Hugo, you owe the truth of what happened very little. You owe the truth of your feelings everything.
So, to review, write about something that really happened to you--something that taught you a lesson--but write it in the third person point of view so it sounds more like fiction rather than a personal essay. The point? Too often writers use the first person because it seems the easiest. However, if we become adept at using the third person, we can discover an enormous sense of freedom because we are not limited to a small-scope "I" narrator. Go for it!

Art of Literature Eng 262 Karlis Journal Assignment # 1 Point of View: refers to perspective, position, or the vantage point from which a story is told First Person: “I,” “me,” “we,” or “us” Second person: “you” Third person: “he,” “she,” “it,” or “they” First person narrator: when the person telling the story (the narrator) is a character who witnesses or is involved in the action and uses “I”-e.g. Tim O’Brien’s Stockings. We see everything in the story through the narrator’s eyes, and rely only on the narrator’s perceptions. An unreliable first-person narrator is a character who tells the story but whose version makes interpretations of what is happening; a reader can sometimes see more than such narrators do. Third person narrator: Omniscient: a narrator who seems to know everything, including what every character is thinking. The narrator in Story of an Hour knows what Mrs. Mallard and all the other characters are thinking. Limited point of view: a narrator who takes only a single person’s perspective and does not claim to know the thoughts of the other characters. Objective or fly-on-the wall narrator: reports only on the outward action of the story and does not know what any of the characters are thinking. How do you think that the point of view that each author (Chopin’s Story of an Hour and O’Brien’s Stockings) uses helps to tell the story? Are these merely character revelations, or are there larger themes that each author is telling through the actions of, or reactions to, the primary character addressed? Is the reader able to make any assumptions/judgements/conclusions about either the narrator(s) or other characters in each story? Please write a 2(full) -3 page paper, double-spaced, with one-inch margins, in a “traditional” 12-point font (Times New Roman, Arial, or Garamond.) Please use a “header” with the following information: name, course #, my name, date, journal assignment #.

Lesson 2
Glossary of Literary Terms
When you study literature, like any other discipline, you should become familiar with the terminology that is used. There are more terms than those listed below, but this list is a good place to start. The terms below are listed in alphabetical order.
Alliteration is a poetic method of repeating the first consonant sounds in a line of poetry.
Assonance is a poetic method that relies on close repetition of vowel sounds to create rhymes. The rhymes may seem to be just a little off, not quite what one might expect. For example, vowels sounds are sometimes close, but not identical, like love and prove.
Audience: This is the reader. Unlike the audience for a TV program, the audience for fiction must be engaged. That means the person reading the story, novel, play or poem, has to work a bit to get everything out of the literature that the creator put into it.
Character: The protagonist is the character at the center of the story, the main character; sometimes called the “hero” or “heroine,” the protagonist does not necessarily act in a “heroic” manner. Sometimes, there is a major character that works against the interests of the protagonist whether he/she realized it or not. This character is called an antagonist. Sometimes, the protagonist meets his or her match in the antagonist.
Major characters are those characters about which the audience learns the most and comes to care about the most while minor characters are less central to the story than major characters.
Round characters are very clearly individuals. They seem like real people. The audience gets to know a lot about them because they express a full range of human emotions and are firmly placed in the community.
On the other hand, flat characters can be somewhat lost in the background, needing to be in the story, but not the main part of it.
A dynamic character is one that changes during the course of the story because of what he or she experiences in it.
A flat character does not change throughout the course of the story. He or she is the same kind of person at the end of the story as he or she is at the beginning.
Dramatic elements are those elements that apply to plays. Reading a play is somewhat artificial because plays are merely scripts of dialogue whose true meaning does not come alive until the play is performed before a life audience.
The dramatis personae is a list of characters in the play. The terms for “character” apply here. There are no narrators in drama, unlike other fictional forms.
An act is a large division in a play made up of “scenes.” They function like chapter breaks in a book. The number of acts and scenes varies from one-act plays to plays with several acts. Usually, the text of the play also applies numbers to the lines of the play (not the sentences or paragraphs).
Dialogue is the term given to the words characters speak to each other. A soliloquy is a speech by one character given alone on the stage that gives the chara ...

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
