This document discusses the difference between a summary and an analysis. A summary explains the overall events or key points of a story or text at a broad level without details, while an analysis examines specific details and themes to develop an interpretation. The difference is that a summary focuses on the big picture, while an analysis looks more closely at particular elements. Providing examples from The Chronicles of Narnia, the author illustrates that a summary captures the main plot points, while an analysis might explore an allegorical theme such as Aslan representing Jesus.

Gerard Manley Hopkins
Gerard Manley Hopkins was an English poet and Jesuit priest in the 19th century. He came from a artistic family and showed talent for music, drawing, and poetry from a young age. In 1866, he converted to Catholicism and later joined the Jesuit order, trying to suppress his creative talents. However, he still felt compelled to write and his first major poem, "The Wreck of the Deutschland", was published in 1875. His poetry is characterized by innovative rhythms and unusual word combinations. Hopkins struggled with bouts of depression and despair over reconciling his faith with his poetic talents. Two of his most famous poems, "God's Grandeur" and "Carrion Comfort", explore themes of God

Dulce et Decorum est
This document provides an in-depth analysis of Wilfred Owen's poem "Dulce Et Decorum Est". The poem describes a gas attack on a group of exhausted soldiers during WWI. One soldier is unable to get his gas mask on in time and suffers a horrible death that is vividly depicted. Owen uses graphic imagery and sensory details to portray the horrific reality of war and argue that dying for one's country is not noble as many claimed. The analysis examines the poem's themes, imagery, literary devices, tone, and Owen's purpose in criticizing those who romanticized war like journalist Jessie Pope.
Themes in hard times
1. The novel criticizes the mechanization of human beings through industrialization as represented by Gradgrind who teaches only facts and Bounderby who treats workers as machines. This dulls emotions and imaginations.
2. It questions distinguishing only facts from fancy, suggesting perspective influences facts. Gradgrind's children suffer from prohibiting fancy.
3. It promotes femininity's role in countering industrialization through compassion, showing how women help others through hard times.
Dover beach
Matthew Arnold's poem "Dover Beach" describes a speaker sitting with his lover looking out over the English Channel near Dover. They observe the calm sea and lights across the water in France. When the light in France extinguishes, the speaker focuses on the sounds of the waves withdrawing from the shore, which reminds him of the declining power of faith in modern society. He warns his lover that despite the beautiful scene before them, the world is actually full of darkness and conflict, as mankind has lost its guiding "Sea of Faith".
Johnson as a critic o shakespeare
Dr. Johnson praised Shakespeare in his "Preface to Shakespeare" for his fidelity to human nature and realistic portrayal of characters. Though he found faults in some of Shakespeare's plots and comic scenes, Johnson believed Shakespeare excelled at depicting the truths of human psychology and capturing the diversity of human passions and motives. While Shakespeare violated the classical unities of time and place, Johnson argued this was not really a fault, and that the unities were not essential to a good play. Overall, Johnson provided a largely balanced critique and is credited with recognizing Shakespeare's profound understanding of human nature.
Russell and bacon style
Bertrand Russell was a British philosopher, logician, and social activist known for his work in logic, education, philosophy and political theory. He co-founded analytic philosophy and defended logicism, the view that mathematics is derived from logic. Russell is also known for his paradox in set theory. He opened an experimental school and believed education was key to conveying his social beliefs, which included opposition to nuclear weapons and Western involvement in Vietnam.

A tale of two cities
A Tale of Two Cities is a novel that works on several levels. Most study it as social commentary about the French Revolution, but even those not interested in history will find it a book of interest, because it is quite possibly the most romantic love story ever told’.
Introduction to Shakespeare
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor born in 1564 who wrote 37 plays and over 150 sonnets. He wrote comedies, tragedies and histories. His plays were performed at the Globe Theatre, an open-air theatre with no artificial lighting. Only men and boys performed, with boys playing women's roles. Shakespeare helped develop the English language and could freely manipulate parts of speech for stylistic purposes. One of his famous plays is Julius Caesar, written in 1599, about the Roman dictator who is assassinated by political enemies despite his military success.
A Study of Poetry | Critical Essay by Matthew Arnold
Matthew Arnold's essay criticizes poetry and criticism. He argues that poetry will provide enduring comfort through its ideas. Arnold proposes evaluating poetry through "real," "historic," and "personal" estimates. The "real estimate" judges poetry objectively based on creative merit, while the "historic estimate" prioritizes historical context over artistic value. The "personal estimate" relies on subjective tastes. Arnold advocates the "touchstone method" of comparing works to classics like Homer, Dante and Shakespeare to assess poetic quality. He analyses various poets like Chaucer, Dryden and Pope through this framework.

Victor vows to track down and kill the creature. He chases it to the Arctic where he dies of exhaustion.

Satan as Hero: Paradise Lost
Termed the “Satanist controversy,” one of the great questions of the text is whether Satan is in fact a hero, like those found in the great Greek epics (Achilles, Odysseus, etc.) or a villain. I personally presented this paper and fielded questions at the Sigma Tau Delta National Research Conference.
Arms and the man
Shaw's play Arms and the Man aims to satirize the glorification of war by presenting a realistic portrayal that removes notions of nobility. While Major Sergius Saranoff is celebrated for his daring cavalry raid against the Serbs, the play reveals it was actually a futile and suicidal gesture. In contrast, Captain Bluntschli's actions like climbing a water pipe to escape appear cowardly, but prove sensible for survival unlike Sergius' heroics. Ultimately, the play suggests practical efficiency, not aristocratic pretensions, wins wars. Bluntschli demonstrates this by easily handling military tasks that confound the aristocrats.

methew arnold
Matthew Arnold believed that for a poem to be of high quality, it must possess both "higher truth" and "higher seriousness." He did not fully define "high seriousness" but suggested it referred to an extreme level of seriousness in applying ideas to life. Arnold viewed poetry as having a high, moral purpose of interpreting life, and he judged poets based on whether their works achieved this high standard of truth and seriousness. While he praised poets like Milton, Shakespeare, and Homer as "classics," he believed Geoffrey Chaucer lacked the necessary high seriousness to be considered on their level, though he still recognized Chaucer's enduring popularity and power.
Dr. Aziz represents the twentieth century Indian character
E.M. Forster's novel A Passage to India portrays the central character Dr. Aziz. While Aziz tries to represent a new generation of Indians seeking friendship with the British, he is undermined by doubts and hesitations stemming from colonial oppression.

Concept of Poetry- Wordsworth and Coleridge
Wordsworth and Coleridge were influential English poets during the Romantic era in the late 18th century. They published Lyrical Ballads together in 1798, marking an important change in literature. Wordsworth believed poetry should use ordinary language and reflect emotions recollected over time. Coleridge saw all art as an organic whole and emphasized the suspension of disbelief in supernatural elements.

Their works came to define the Romantic period in contrast to prior neoclassical styles.

Naturalism was a 19th century movement that believed nature and the physical world are all that exist, rejecting spirituality and the supernatural. It emphasized investigating nature through science and viewed humanity as simply part of the natural world, influenced primarily by heredity and environment. Naturalist works often depicted harsh realities like poverty, disease, and violence in a detached, objective manner and believed fate was predetermined, showing nature's indifference to human struggles.
Lucy poems
The Lucy poems are a series of 5 poems written by William Wordsworth between 1798 and 1801 about his longing for his friend Coleridge and exploring the poet's love for an idealized character named Lucy. Lucy may have been based on a real woman or been imaginary, as Wordsworth never revealed her origins. The poems examine themes of beauty, nature, love, longing and death. They were influential as part of the English Romantic movement and an early major publication for Wordsworth, though he did not intend for them to be read as a group.

The key difference is that a summary focuses on what happens, while an analysis focuses on why through exploring imagery, themes, or underlying messages. Both have important purposes, but a summary should not include analysis and vice versa.

Week 3 Parables
This document provides an overview of Jesus' use of parables. It discusses what parables are, why Jesus used them, and how to properly understand and interpret them. Some key points include:
- Parables are stories used by Jesus to make spiritual points in an engaging way that "slips past defenses."
- Proper interpretation requires analyzing context, hearing it as first-century Jews would, and paying attention to shocking elements.
- Allegorical interpretations that assign deep meaning to minor details can go too far. The parables' main teachings should be the focus.
- Examples like the Lost Sheep parable and a version of the Good Samaritan set in the American South help illustrate
Week of may 17th
This document discusses how Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot aligns with the philosophical school of existentialism. It provides background on existentialism, noting its key tenets like the lack of inherent meaning or purpose in life, and humanity's responsibility to define existence for oneself. The document analyzes how Godot depicts these existentialist ideas through its plot of two men aimlessly waiting without knowing if their purpose will arrive, representing the absurdity and anxiety of the human condition with no higher power or meaning.

The document discusses metaphors, similes, and analogies. It defines each term and provides examples to illustrate the differences. Metaphors directly make a comparison between two things, while similes use "like" or "as" to explicitly signal a comparison. Analogies show how two different things are similar by pointing out shared characteristics with the goal of demonstrating further similarities. The document also discusses when each may be most effectively used and why metaphors can be more powerful than similes due to their direct nature.

What Did Mary Know?
Marina Gerner on a thought experiment about consciousness.
Imagine a girl called Mary. She is a brilliant neuroscientist and a world expert on colour vision. But because she grew up entirely in a black and white room, she has never actually seen any colours. Many black and white books and TV programmes have taught her all there is to know about colour vision. Mary knows facts like the structure of our eyes and the exact wavelengths of light that stimulate our retinas when we look at a light blue sky.
One day, Mary escapes her monochrome room, and as she walks through the grey city streets, she sees a red apple for the first time.
What changes upon Mary’s encounter with the red apple? Has Mary learnt anything new about the colour red upon seeing the colour for the first time? Since Mary already knew everything about the physics and biology of colour perception, she must surely have known all there is to know about the colour red beforehand. Or is it possible that some facts escape physical explanations? (‘Physical’ in this sense refers to all the realms of physical science, including chemistry, biology, neuroscience, etc.). If Mary has learnt something new, then we can conclude that scientific explanations cannot capture all there is to know, argues Professor Frank Jackson, who thought up this scenario in ‘Epiphenomenal Qualia’, in The Philosophical Quarterly (1982). The story of Mary is known as the ‘knowledge argument’ and it has become one of the most prominent thought experiments in the philosophy of mind.
You might say, “Hang on a minute, how was it possible that Mary grew up in a black and white room in the first place?” Never mind the first place. Some philosophers have put forth that she wore special goggles. But this issue need not concern us, because philosophical thought experiments depend on logical coherence rather than practical feasibility. Philosophers devise such narratives to think through an imagined situation, so as to learn something about the way we understand things. Thought experiments require no Bunsen burners or test tubes; they are laboratories of the mind. In thought experiments, time travel is logically possible, but no philosophy professor is expected to travel back in time to prove their point.
Reinvigorating The Debate
The reason Professor Jackson devised the thought experiment involving Mary was to challenge the physicalist school of thought. In philosophy of mind debates, proponents of physicalism argue that what really m.

Summary Vs. Analysis
- 1. Summary Vs. Analysis By Elizabeth London
- 2. First.. What is a Summary?
- 3. What is a Summary? A summary is basically just an explanation of what is happening in a scene of a book, or a book overall. When you summarize you are not looking at the details, but rather the overall things that are going on. Summarizing is thinking about the details in a broader scale rather than the details, as details. Ex. In the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe a summary would be thus: In this book there is a group of children, all siblings, who find a magical world in a wardrobe. They found this wardrobe because they were in the country side during WWII. When they found this wardrobe they went on a magical adventure to save the world, Narnia, from the snow queen. They were aided by the king lion, Aslan, who came along side and gave them abilities they would not have found the strength on their own to use. They won the battle and became kings and queens of Narnia, fulfilling their prophesied future and lived happily ever after. At the end of the book they were forced back into the real world, back to their original age, but really were only gone for an hour or two.
- 4. So... What is an analysis?
- 5. What is an Analysis? An analysis is looking at the details further than the broad spectrum. When you analyze, you look for imagery or a theme that would be underlying in the scene you are analyzing. Analyzing is taking a piece of something and picking it apart to its bare bones to find the reason behind it. A lot of the time, you are displaying an idea that may not be the way every one thinks about that piece, but that is the point of analyzing - to find out why. Ex. In Chronicles of Narnia (the same one talked about before) you could look at Aslan, allegorically, as Jesus. Aslan is a picture of Jesus in the real world. He came into the world and basically saved it. With Aslan around things were better. He was perfect, as was Jesus in real life. When Aslan sacrifices himself for Edmund that is just like Jesus sacrificing himself for the sinners of the world (as Edmund depicts all humans, as sinners). He rises again, just as Jesus did, and comes in and wins the battle. Underlying theme in this allegorical comparison is that Jesus came to save the lost, and so did Aslan in this book.
- 7. The Difference? The difference between these two is what you are looking at. In a summary, like I have said, you are looking at the broad spectrum. In an analysis, you are looking at a specific detail and creating an idea based on that. In a summary, you do not look for themes or underlying messages. In an analysis, you do not look at the broad spectrum, because it would be really hard to detail it that way.
- 8. Overall...
- 9. Overall... Overall, a summary has its place, and an analysis has its place. They both have their purposes and they are both very different. You can not interchange the two. When you summarize you do just that - you summarize a piece of text, basically shortening it into a telling length. When you analyze you take something and make an idea out of it that isn’t plainly seen. I hope that this all helps you better understand summary and analysis!
