Clarice Lispector was a Brazilian writer seen as the most innovative of her century. This document discusses a collection of her writings from 1967-1973. During this period, Brazil was under a military dictatorship that overthrew the democratically elected president in 1964 out of fears he would make Brazil more like communist Cuba. Lispector's writing never supported the repressive military regime and she protested against their actions. The document analyzes two of her short stories, "Torture and Glory" about a young girl's pursuit of a book, and "In Pursuit of Pleasure" about how real suffering is preferable to forced pleasure under a dictatorship.
The Only Story is a 2018 novel by Julian Barnes that explores themes of memory, love, loss, and self-delusion. It tells the story of Robert Paul, who recalls his passionate but doomed love affair with Susan MacLeod in 1960s England. The affair took place when Paul was a 19-year-old university student and Susan was a 48-year-old married mother of two. Through Paul's fragmented memories and diary entries, the novel examines the contradictions of love and how fulfillment and suffering are often simultaneous. It also questions the reliability of both personal and historical memory over the decades.
Theme of Love - Passion and Suffering - The Only Story - Julian BarnesDilip Barad
This document discusses themes of passion and suffering in Julian Barnes' novel The Only Story. It begins with background on the etymology of the word "passion", which comes from the Latin word for "to suffer". Several quotes from the novel are provided that illustrate how the main character Paul's passionate love affair with the older Susan turns to suffering for both of them. The document also discusses psychological interpretations of love from a Lacanian perspective, explaining how the separation between our organic being and our cultural identities as subjects through language gives rise to an unsatisfiable desire.
The Sparrow Writers Writing Group is a monthly writing group that meets in Watertown, WI to promote creativity and build community among aspiring authors. Each meeting begins with a "three words" writing prompt where members incorporate unfamiliar words into a short story. The consistency of this activity helps the group focus. The group uses additional prompts to get ideas flowing and support each other's writing. Bringing together people of various ages and backgrounds, the Sparrow Writers aim to provide encouragement and friendship for those seeking an outlet for their creative talents.
While everybody fixates on SEO, keywords, tags, social media marketing, Instagram, brand sponsorship, video and awesomeness, the art of storytelling has suffered. It's time for a rethink... I presented this at Traverse 19 in Trento, Italy on June 8

The group discussed the novel "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" by Carson McCullers. Some members found the book disappointing and wanting more positivity. It focuses on a deaf-mute man named Singer who becomes a Christ-like figure to four other characters but cannot truly understand or connect with them. The characters are all lonely, isolated individuals on the margins of society. While bleak, the book highlights the universal human desire to feel understood and find meaning in life. It also drew from McCullers' own lonely and troubled experiences as a writer.
The document discusses using personal voice in writing. It defines voice as the sense that a real person is speaking to the reader and cares about the message. Voice comes through the writer's choice of words and attitude about the subject. The document provides examples of text with unique voices and an activity where students write a letter expressing a given tone.
Common Literary Terms: The Learning CenterKHaglund
This document defines and provides examples of various literary terms and concepts including: character, characterization, climax, conflict, connotation, dialogue, diction, figurative language, flashback, foreshadowing, hyperbole, imagery, metaphor, personification, plot, point of view, resolution, setting, simile, style, symbol, theme, and tone. It explains what each term means and illustrates some of the terms with short excerpts from well-known literary works.
The document discusses the value of Frederick Douglass' narrative as a source for understanding the experiences of American slaves. It notes that Douglass' first-hand account provides insight into the psychological treatment and daily life of slaves, though some argue it was intended to support abolition. Overall, the document argues that Douglass' narrative has value when considered alongside sources from slave owners, as together they provide a more comprehensive understanding of both black and white perspectives on slavery.
The importance of Kathy to the novel Never Let Me GoMrs Downie
Ishiguro's novel Never Let Me Go explores the themes of friendship, loss, hopelessness, and conformity through the character of Kathy. As the first person narrator, Kathy's perspective is used to illustrate the lifestyle of clones in a dystopian society where they exist solely to donate their organs. Through Kathy, Ishiguro portrays the clones' futile desire to cling to their humanity and childhood innocence despite understanding their inevitable fate. Kathy's relationships with Tommy and Ruth also demonstrate the themes of preserving illusions versus exposing truths, and experiencing both mutual understanding and cruelty within friendship.
Lost in the Funhouse by John Barth (Alisha Nanda)AlishaNanda2
- John Barth is an American postmodernist author known for metafictional works. His short story collection "Lost in the Funhouse" contains ambiguous narratives that explore identity and the relationship between fiction and reality. The title story follows a teenage boy named Ambrose who invites a girl he likes, Magda, to a funhouse, but she ends up leaving with his brother instead, leaving Ambrose feeling lonely and dissatisfied. The story examines Ambrose's thoughts and emotions as an introspective teenager struggling with self-expression.
The document summarizes key aspects of Sarah Kane's plays and style. It notes that Kane explored themes of cruelty, dysfunctional relationships, and psychological distress through fragmented forms that rejected realistic conventions. Her most famous play, Blasted, shocked audiences with its extreme violence and imagery but examined the corrupting effects of the outside world. Kane's later work like 4.48 Psychosis embraced more experimental forms, featuring intermingled voices and a style resembling a long poem or suicide note that questioned boundaries between sanity and insanity.
Ethics in Memoir Writing: An Instructional DialogueMelanie Rigney
Ask yourself, why you're writing a memoir and what makes my experience special to me - and my readers? Just like novels, memoirs must have a beginning, middle, and end. Learn how to make your memoir memorable.
The document provides an analysis of Graham Greene's short story "The Invisible Japanese Gentlemen". It summarizes the plot, which involves a conversation between a self-centered young woman and her fiancé that fails due to their lack of communication and understanding of each other. It also analyzes the characters, themes of failed communication in modern society, and contrasts the failed conversation of the couple with the more respectful communication of the Japanese businessmen at another table. The analysis examines the story's structure, use of irony, and criticism of young people's selfishness and lack of seriousness.

Course website: http://patrickbrianmooney.nfshost.com/~patrick/ta/m13/
This document provides prompts and context for writing an essay responding to the modernist play Trifles by Susan Glaspell. The prompts explore themes of gender dynamics and the different perspectives of men and women in the play. Specifically, the prompts analyze how the women are able to solve the murder mystery by noticing domestic clues that the men overlook or dismiss as trivial women's matters.
Time Travel in Kindred (guest lecture by Shannon Brennan)Patrick Mooney
This document summarizes key ideas from Octavia Butler's historical novel Kindred. It discusses how the unique temporal experience of slavery, disrupted by time travel, makes time travel well-suited for exploring the history of slavery. Slavery denied slaves knowledge of birthdates and genealogy, troubling linear narratives of history. The document analyzes how Kindred engages with other historical novels to represent the slave experience and write individual history into national history. It examines how the novel uses places like heritage sites to map personal and national genealogies.
This document provides essay prompts and guidelines for writing an analytical response to Susan Glaspell's modernist play Trifles. It lists 10 possible essay topics focusing on various elements of the play, such as its symbolism, themes of gender and crime, and the moral dilemma faced by the female characters. The document outlines expectations for the assignment, including length, formatting, and learning outcomes to demonstrate close reading skills and understanding of rhetorical strategies. It provides advice for writing the essay and common mistakes to avoid.
This document provides the agenda for EWRT 30 Class 7. It includes assignments due like Project #1 and forming new groups. It also covers a lecture on the basic elements of fiction like plot, point of view, character, and setting. It discusses plot structure and common types of conflicts. It uses the example of the Three Little Pigs to illustrate plot. It also defines and provides examples of different points of view like omniscient, third-person limited, and first-person. The document concludes with a guided writing assignment asking students to rewrite the plot of the Three Little Pigs with the wolf as a hitman and to choose a point of view.
This document discusses point of view and types of narrators in storytelling. It identifies different categories of narrators including real people narrators like first person major and minor, as well as omniscient narrators like third person and editorially omniscient. Examples are provided for each type of narrator to illustrate how the story would be told through different perspectives. The document concludes with an activity asking the reader to rewrite a short section of the three little pigs story using different narrator viewpoints.
Kate Chopin's short story "The Story of an Hour" follows Mrs. Mallard as she processes the news of her husband's death. She moves quickly from grief to a sense of newfound freedom from her restrictive marriage. However, her joy turns to despair when she learns her husband is actually still alive. The story examines 19th century gender roles and how women were expected to be subservient to their husbands. It uses symbolism like an open window to represent Mrs. Mallard finding an opportunity for independence that ultimately leads to her own death from heart trouble.
This document contains quotes from various journalists discussing aspects of narrative nonfiction writing and reporting. Some of the quotes discuss starting with experimentation to find an effective storytelling format; writing what you see and hear without predetermined intentions; dividing chapters into small chunks of 2000 words to prevent droning; following your heart to make the reader feel the story; and how careful reporting comes down to putting in the time and being empathetic with sources to get good information.

When was the last time you got a love letter? When was the last time you wrote a love letter? Now that writing love letters is a lost art, what better gift can you give the one you love than an old-fashioned, authentic, hand written, love letter! The purpose of this book is twofold. One, it shares some of the most romantic love letters ever written. They act as a model to help you express your love in a profound and personal way that your partner wil treasure for the rest of their life.
But first, what is love? In the year 2012, that phrase - what is love -, was the most researched phrase on Google. Five writers from diverse backgrounds tried to define what love is. The five people were a physicist, a psychotherapist, a philosopher, a romantic novelist, and a nun.
The answers they gave were eloquent, convincing, and yes, diverse. The nun said that love is a paradox. “Love is free yet binds us.” The romantic novelist said that love is everything. The philosopher said that love is a passionate commitment. The psychotherapist identified six different types of love and said that it is unlikely to experience all six types with only one person. And the physicist? He said that “love is chemistry.”
So what is love? In this book, I have tried to show love that is as diverse as the five authors above have defined it. I also try to show love that meets the precise definition that Paul gives in his first letter to the Corinthians, below:
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” ~ The First Letter of Paul To The Corinthians 13:4-8
Introduction Writing + What's the Purpose?Sam Georgi
This document provides guidance on writing effective introductions for personal narratives. It discusses the purpose of introductions, which is to catch the reader's attention and set up the story. Several strategies for writing engaging first lines are presented, such as starting in the middle of action, using humor or vivid imagery, or introducing a problem or conflict. Examples of successful first lines from famous novels are also analyzed. The document encourages avoiding simply stating what the story will be about and instead using natural, interesting language to draw the reader in.
This document summarizes a class discussion about failing to imagine other people's perspectives. It discusses how literature can help readers vividly imagine characters, while real life often involves failure to understand others. A George Saunders story is analyzed where the main character Marie fails to imagine her children and husband's thoughts and feelings, instead projecting her own views. The class considers how literature reveals both successes and failures of imagination between people. Students are assigned homework to read Jane Eyre and post a discussion question.

4. Political Context
● 1963 Joao Goulart assumed full power in Brazil, became President.
● His efforts of trying to “create” a better Brazil, got the U.S’s attention.
● Brazilian military and the U.S. government were worried about Brazil becoming a New
Cuba. (Brazilian military were anti-communist)
● Lower class praised Goulart, but middle/upper classes and the military wanted
intervention and restore
“democracy”(americasouthandnorth.wordpress.com/2012/04/01/on-this-date-in-latin-
america-april-1-1964-brazils-military-dictatorship-begins/)
● April 1st 1964, the military officially overthrew Goulart and the coup began.
5. Political Context (Lispectors involvement)
● Clarice Lispector returned to Brazil in 1959, after living in Europe and the U.S. as a
diplomats wife.
● Mid 1960’s during the coup, she was an author for Jornal do Brasil, she wrote mostly
fiction.

regime and the regression of the people of Brazil.
● However she joined many artists with protesting against the repression.
6. Torture And Glory Pg. 1
● Point of view
- the point of view for this short story is in First person. She starts with her experience as a child in Recife
Brazil. Lispector at the beginning describes the antagonist, by using pronouns such as she. Then later in
the story uses “I”
“She was fat, short and freckled and her hair was much too frizzy.” (Lispector pg. 1)
7. Torture And Glory Pg. 1
● Tone
- the mood of the story starts with sorrow, by explaining the characteristics that the
antagonist portrays herself as. Then leads to excitement, the reason it was exciting
because Clarice as a young girl wanted to read a book that the antagonist never bothered
to read. She said that the book can be borrowed by her, she just had to pick up at her
house. Day by day she showed up and the book was never there. The tone starts to
ascend into sadness and disappointment followed by desire for the book. Until finally she
receives the book and the tone ends with surprise.
8. Torture and Glory Pg. 1
● Protagonist is Clarice Lispector as a young school girl. Her attitude starts with a gloomy
perspective, she describes the antagonist like you can already tell how the story is going
to play out.
● “She did not appear to benefit much from this good fortune; the rest of us even less
so”(Lispector pg. 1)
● “She found ways of and means of being vindictive”(Lispector pg. 1)
9. Torture and Glory Pg. 1
● Plot: Pyramidal
● Begins with the description of the antagonist, how a fat, short, freckled girl who had bust,
while the others were flat chested.
● Describes how her father had a bookstore, and she did not benefit from her good fortune.
● Lispector found out she possessed a book called, The Adventures of Little Snotty, (As
reinacoes de Narizinho)
● Antagonist said she can borrow the book, she showed up to her house everyday to collect
the book.
● Day by Day she showed up to her house to retrieve the book only to find out everyday
she came that the book was not there.
● Day by day she began losing hope, but still came to the house for the book.
● Til one day she came and found her mother standing at the front door, she found out the
reason why this girl showed up everyday for this book.
● In horror the mother was ashamed of her daughter, the book never left the house.
● Once she got the book, she was dazed and surprised. Returning home she never opened
the book, or read it. She just held it, “I was no longer a little girl with a book: I was a
woman with her lover” (Lispector Pg. 3)
10. Torture And Glory Pg. 1
● Theme
The theme to my eyes is Socialism, how the difference between classes, although this did
take place before Brazil’s coup, the issues between lower and upper classes was
escalating.
● Symbols
The title, “Torture and Glory” and the book The Adventures of Narizinho
11. In Pursuit of Pleasure Pg. 191
● Point Of View
The Point of View starts with a first person perspective.
Describes her interpretation of the pursuit of pleasure and the obstacles that are
included. The need for pleasure or the want for pleasure is the question, Lispector tries to
endure.
12. Pursuit of Pleasure Pg. 191
● Tone
It starts with sadness, and with a want. That people want to pursue pleasure, but have to
deal with the troubles along with it.
With the want of pleasure, one has to set aside the awareness of suffering.
“And so much suffering, sometimes even unawareness, because one is in pursuit of
pleasure” (Lispector Pg. 191)
13. Pursuit of Pleasure Pg. 191
● Plot
This short story is very short, the plot to my perspective is episodic.
It starts with suffering, and the want for pleasure to one’s self. Then you see others in the
semi-darkness wanting pleasure but it doesn’t come to them.
At the end at the story, she says, “No, real suffering is better by far than forced
pleasure”(Lispector Pg. 191).
14. Pursuit of Pleasure Pg. 191
● Theme
The theme would be oppression, how people are forced into dictatorships. Lispector gives
a brief and clear description of how real suffering is better than “forced Pleasure”
● Symbols
Pursuit of Pleasure- The pursuit of a new order
Suffering- Real suffering, is more acceptable than forced “pleasure”
15. My Interpretation
Selected Cronicas is a collection of Clarice Lispector's writing. Her writing, even though they were separate
short stories, the stories gave me an in depth look into Lispector’s mind and ideas. I chose the short story,
“Torture and Glory” because I was really in awe of the social class issues even before the coup. How Lispector
had high hopes of receiving that book but still had a sense of doubt every time she showed up to that house.
“Pursuit of Pleasure” I chose this because this has to do with repression, my interpretation is that although a
new order has been established, what makes people want to be forced into this “pleasure” would they rather
deal with real suffering, such as heartbreak, a broken bone, or even a scratch on your car, then to be forced into
something (dictatorship) Lispector uses analogies to express her emotions, and I feel very close to her and can
relate to what she is saying. “No, real suffering is better by far than forced pleasure”(Lispector Pg. 191).
