The Fine Art of Literary Theft
The document provides advice on how to use established tropes and traditions in romance writing in creative ways through literary borrowing and adaptation. It discusses how major authors throughout history engaged in a form of "artistic theft" by borrowing from previous works. Specific romance tropes like settings, character types, and narrative arcs are identified as common elements available for adaptation. The document cautions that outright plagiarism should be avoided and provides tips for thoughtfully diversifying representations and transforming familiar tropes in original ways through techniques like combining elements in new ways, reversing expectations, and ensuring internal logic.
Absurdity in play (waiting for Godot) and Absurdity in life
This document provides an analysis of the absurdity portrayed in Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot and how it reflects the absurdity of human existence. It discusses how the play lacks a logical structure, plot, or resolution, with characters waiting endlessly for someone who never arrives. Some key characteristics of absurdist theater highlighted are hopelessness, absurd endings, repetition, and existential themes. Parallels are drawn between the predicament of the characters and the absurdity of human life, where we are doomed to repeat the same routines while hoping for changes that never materialize.
Apostrophe
The apostrophe has three main uses: 1) to form possessives, 2) to show contractions, and 3) to form some plural forms. It is used to create possessive forms for singular and plural nouns, especially people's names. When forming possessives of plural nouns, the plural is formed first before adding the apostrophe. Contractions allow blending of sounds by omitting letters from verb constructions, with the apostrophe showing what is left out. The apostrophe is also used to form plurals of digits and letters.

This document provides an overview of the Theatre of the Absurd genre and analyzes Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot through this lens. Some key points:
- The genre originated in the 1950s-60s and was coined by Martin Esslin to describe plays presenting an absurdist view of human existence as meaningless.
- Absurdist plays like Waiting for Godot lack traditional plot structures and have nonsensical, repetitive dialogue and cyclical actions without resolution. They reflect the absurdity and alienation of post-WWII society.
- Godot in particular examines themes of meaningless, nothingness, isolation, and the futility of human existence through Vladimir and Estragon's endless waiting for
Embedded task #1
The document discusses several literary techniques used by William Golding in his novel Lord of the Flies. It describes characterization through Piggy, symbolism with the conch and fire, motifs of pigs and a potential beast, and foreshadowing with the spreading fire. Characterization is shown through Piggy's physical traits and intelligence. The conch represents authority and unity, while the fire symbolizes hope of rescue. Recurring pigs and fears of a beast are motifs. The spreading fire hints at the loss of humanity in the boys.

This document discusses the characteristics and purpose of political satire. It notes that satire has long been used as a tool for political criticism by exposing foolishness and vice in order to enact reform. It provides examples of prominent political satirists like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert who use humor and parody to comment on current events and draw attention to issues with the political system. Their satire distills political topics down to their most amusing elements in order to engage audiences on important discussions and societal issues.
Satire definitions
This document discusses various types of satire including sarcasm, hyperbole, Horatian satire, literary satire, verbal irony, understatement, Juvenalian satire and the general definition of satire.
Irony
Irony refers to situations, statements, or circumstances that are not what they seem. There are three main types of irony:
1) Situational irony occurs when the outcome of a situation is different than what was expected, such as in Romeo and Juliet where the lovers die believing the other is dead.
2) Verbal irony, also called sarcasm, uses words to express something different than their literal meaning, like when Mark Antony insults Brutus despite calling him honorable.
3) Dramatic irony exists when the audience knows something a character does not, such as in Macbeth when the audience is aware of Macbeth's murderous plans unknown to Duncan.
Portfolio
A study was conducted from December 2011 to January 2012 where the researcher spent time in solitude in both Hawaii and South Korea. The study focused on observing how spending extended periods of time alone in different environments and cultures impacted the researcher's thoughts, behaviors, and overall well-being. Key findings from the study provided insights into the psychological and emotional effects of solitude.
Satire, parody, and everything in between
The document discusses different types of satire and parody found in classic works of literature. It provides examples and analysis of how Cervantes' Don Quixote uses both satire and parody to comment on societal ideals of chivalry versus reality. While meant to parody chivalric romances, Don Quixote ultimately juxtaposes and judges modern standards against the ideals of chivalry. The document also examines how Swift's Gulliver's Travels satirizes political issues in England through the fictional land of Lilliput and its petty disputes and conquests.
Parody and Satire
Parody mocks or imitates another work in an entertaining way, while satire uses humor or exaggeration to ridicule aspects of society and influence change. The document provides examples of parody in music, film, and television, and examples of satire in television. It then asks the reader to examine advertisements, logos, and slogans to determine if they are examples of parody, satire, or both.
Introduction to Satire
This document provides an introduction to satire. It defines satire as a genre that uses irony, wit and sarcasm to expose human vices and flaws in order to create change through ridicule. Satire mixes criticism with humor. The objectives are to identify different techniques used in satire such as irony, exaggeration, understatement and parody. The document outlines different types of satire such as Horatian and Juvenalian satire and different forms such as parody and caricature. It concludes that the overall purpose of satire is to create moral or political change through humor and correct bad behaviors.
