Geoffrey chaucer
Geoffrey Chaucer (1340-1400) is considered the father of English poetry. He lived during the reigns of King Edward III and King Richard II, dying the year after King Henry IV took the throne. His most famous work is The Canterbury Tales, a collection of stories told by a group of 29 pilgrims traveling to Canterbury Cathedral. The stories provide a vivid social chronicle of 14th century English life, with realistic portrayals of characters from different classes and occupations. Chaucer used his skills in characterization, humor, and language to establish English as a literary language and usher in the Renaissance in English literature.
Ozymandias
The poem describes a traveller's account of remnants of a statue in the desert. The statue is all that remains of a once-mighty king, Ozymandias, whose inscription boasts of his great works and power. However, the statue is now in ruins, its features barely discernible. The poem suggests that no matter a ruler's pride and power, time will erode all human achievements and civilizations to nothing.

711 supernatural elements in coleridge
Coleridge refined the supernatural in poetry, making it more subjective and psychological rather than objective and sensational. In works like The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, the supernatural is a subtle, slowly revealed atmosphere rather than sudden shocking events. Coleridge presented the supernatural as a psychic phenomenon experienced through the mind, conveying horror through the reactions it causes rather than directly depicting supernatural sights. He also humanized supernatural incidents and characters to make them more realistic and convincing. Overall, Coleridge revolutionized the use of the supernatural in poetry by presenting it as a subtle, mysterious influence on the mind rather than a source of crude thrills.

O Captain! My Captain!
Walt Whitman's poem "O Captain! My Captain!" is about a captain who has led his ship through a difficult journey but has fallen dead upon their return to port. In three sentences:
The poem expresses grief and loss at the death of the captain who successfully guided the ship through perilous times but collapsed upon hearing the bells announcing their safe return; though the journey's end is met with celebration, the narrator is instead left to mournfully walk the deck where the fallen captain now lies cold and dead; while the people exult and the bells ring in victory, the narrator is overcome with sorrow at the death of their captain and father figure.
Walt whitman bio
Walt Whitman was an influential American poet born in 1819 on Long Island, New York. He had little formal education but was self-taught. His masterpiece Leaves of Grass, first published in 1855, shocked many traditional writers with its free verse style and unconventional themes including sexuality. However, the book also earned praise from Ralph Waldo Emerson. Whitman went on to write poems commemorating Abraham Lincoln and was an important influence on later poets through his celebration of democracy, nature, and an American artistic identity.
O Captain! My Captain!
The poem mourns the death of Abraham Lincoln, who is metaphorically referred to as the "Captain" of the ship of state. It describes the ship having survived the dangers of the Civil War and reaching the "port" of victory, but finds the Captain dead on the deck just as the journey ends. The speaker urges the Captain to rise and see the celebrations for the victory, but comes to the sad realization that the Captain is truly fallen and will not rise again. The poem expresses the profound grief of the nation at losing Lincoln just as the Union was secured.
Edgar Allan Poe background
Edgar Allan Poe was born in 1809 in Boston and was orphaned at a young age. He was adopted by John and Fanny Allan and moved with them to England and later Virginia. Poe struggled with gambling and drinking and had a falling out with his adoptive father. He worked as a writer and publisher but continued to struggle financially.

He died under mysterious circumstances in 1849 in Baltimore at the age of 40.

The fall of the house of usher.themes
The major themes in Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" include mortality, madness, fear, incest, friendship, and burial. Mortality is a central theme as the story involves a woman dying and being buried only to rise from the grave. Madness is explored through the narrator noting inconsistencies in Roderick Usher's speech which blur the line between sanity and insanity. Fear, especially of the unknown and irrational fear, is a motif that seems to terrify Roderick. Incest is implied between Roderick and Madeline who live together in the family home without spouses. Friendship is shown through the narrator visiting his boyhood friend Roderick, though family

Every night for a week, he visited the old man's room until one night he killed him, then dismembered and hid the body under the floorboards. When police came to investigate screams from a neighbor, the narrator convinced them nothing was wrong. However, hearing thumping from the floor, he confessed out of panic that they would discover his crime.

Genocide of the california indians
This document provides a summary of the genocide of California Native Americans that occurred when white settlers arrived in the region. It describes how settlers justified taking Native lands by promoting the concept of "Manifest Destiny," which held that white Americans were destined to expand across North America. It then details some of the initial encounters between Native peoples and European explorers and missionaries in California. However, it argues that the settlers ultimately carried out massive violence and genocide against Native populations in order to steal their lands.

Esteban Echeverna
Argentina
(1805-1851)
------- ^ -------
Although Esteban Echevem'a’s renown rests on his intellectual and political ac-
tivities, he was an important writer, and “ The Slaughter House," the selection
chosen for this volume, is a landmark in the history of Latin American short fiction.
Echeverria was one of the young Argentines who founded in 1838 the Asociaci6n
de Mayo. This organization hoped to develop a national literature reflecting Ar-
gentina’s realities. Having spent four formative years in Paris (1825-30), Eche-
verria was imbued in the romantic spirit, and he became one of the movement’s
promoters. Back in Argentina he devoted himself to the overthrow of the Rosas
dictatorship. In 1841 he went into exile in nearby Uruguay, where he stayed until
his death. Echeverria’s "The Captive," a narrative poem about a white woman
abducted by Indians, is among the better-known tales from nineteenth-century
Latin America. “ The Slaughter House," written about 1838, was published thirty
years later, so its immediate political aim was not realized, but it became one of
the most important stories in Latin American literary history. Its opening, which
proposes the colonial chronicles as a narrative model, is a programmatic and
prophetic statement on the relationship between Latin American history and fic-
tion. “ The Slaughter House" is mostly significant, however, because it displays
the clash between "civilization and barbarism” that Sarmiento saw at the core
of Latin American culture. Read in this light the story is a political allegory. Its
more specific design was to accuse Rosas of cuddling the thugs who slay the
civilized young man. A deeper conflict perhaps is between the liberal ideology of
“ The Slaughter House" and its painstaking representation of the ritual murder,
an atavistic story of sacrifice that appears to be the source of its quasi-religious
power.

The Longest Memory Background
Slavery was a brutal system that existed in America from 1619 to 1865. Millions of slaves were taken from Africa and forced to work on plantations in the Southern states. Slaves endured horrific conditions, with long work hours, physical punishment, separation of families, and little access to healthcare, education or religious freedom. Though some slaves found ways to resist the dehumanizing system through literacy, faith and escaping, slavery dominated the Southern economy and profoundly shaped American history until the Civil War and Emancipation.
Genocide of the california indians pt.1
This document discusses the genocide of California Native Americans that occurred following European contact and settlement. It notes that the indigenous population declined by 90-95% (around 130 million people) in just 200 years after 1492. It describes the concept of "Manifest Destiny" which was used to justify the expansion and conquest of Native lands in North America by white settlers. It criticizes this belief and the actions taken against indigenous peoples as a means for white settlers to compensate for their genetic weakness as albinos and prove their superiority. The document examines accounts from early Spanish explorers and missionaries about their interactions with and views of Native Californians.

Episode One: After the Mayflower
Transcript
Slate: The words spoken in this film are in Nipmuc, an Algonquian dialect.
Slate: Wampanoag Tribal Land, Late Summer, 1621
Narrator: Almost nothing is known about the most iconic feast in American history -- not even the date. It
happened, most likely, in the late summer of 1621... a little less than a year after the Wampanoag saw a small
group of strangers land on their shores.
Half these strangers -- men, women and children -- had died of disease, hunger or exposure in their first
winter on the unforgiving edge of North America. But by the next summer, with the help of the Wampanoag,
the Pilgrims had taken a harvest sure to sustain the settlement through the next barren season. And they meant
to celebrate their faith that God had smiled on their endeavor.
Elizabeth Hopkins (Charlotte Dore): Fill up the pot my child and fetch some more water.
Pilgrim Man: Mind your step.
Pilgrim Man #2: More chairs yet?
Elizabeth Hopkins (Charlotte Dore): We should have this done in no time.
Narrator: As the "thanks-giving" began, a group of Wampanoag men led by their Chief, Massasoit, entered
the Plymouth settlement... not entirely sure of the reception they'd get.
Pilgrim Man: They're here.
Edward Winslow (Nicholas Irons): greeting in Nipmuc
Jenny Hale Pulsipher, historian: Sometimes the Pilgrims are saying, uh, back off, and sometimes they bring
the Wampanoags closer depending on what circumstances are like. But this is a celebration of their survival,
of their recognition that they probably wouldn't have survived without the assistance of these Indians. This is
a time clearly when they're welcome.
Elizabeth Hopkins (Charlotte Dore): The governor cannot mean 'em stay.
2
Narrator: Massasoit and his men had not appeared empty-handed. They brought five fresh-killed deer --
providing some of the vitals for a celebration that stretched over the next three days.
Miles Standish (Duncan Putney): Musketeers make ready! ... Musketeers, fire!
Crowd: Huzzah! Huzzah!
Narrator: The Wampanoag and the Pilgrims were an unlikely match... but the two peoples were bound by
what they shared: an urgent need for allies. The Pilgrims were completely alone in a new world, separated by
thousands of miles of ocean from friends and family. The Wampanoag -- badly weakened by rolling
epidemics -- lived in fear of rival tribes. That they found one another in 1621 looked like a boon to each.
Neal Salisbury, historian: The Thanksgiving celebration at Plymouth was certainly an unusual event. It's not
something we see thereafter. It symbolizes where the relationship stood as of the fall of 1621.
Wampanoag Man (Larry Mann): My name is Spotted Crow.
Pilgrim Man: Ankantookoche... I'm not so good at your tongue I think. I'm glad you are amused anyway....
Wampanoag Man (William Elk III): I am hungry.
Pilgrim Man: You like it then. Bellycheer. Try som.
Bram Stoker and Dracula
Abraham "Bram" Stoker was born in 1847 in Dublin, Ireland under British rule. He attended Trinity College Dublin and had an early interest in theater. Stoker went on to become the personal assistant of famous stage actor Henry Irving. As Irving's assistant, Stoker was introduced to high society but was better known at the time for his work with Irving. Stoker would later write his famous Gothic horror novel Dracula in 1897, drawing on interests in theater, Eastern European folklore, and technological advances of the time.

The cask of amontillado
- 1. The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe Cultural Literacy and Background for Understanding (Presentation assembled by Brooke Allen)
- 2. “… but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge.” “The Cask of Amontillado” is the narrator’s account of his ability to carry out a chilling plot of revenge against his offender.
- 3. Precision in time, place, and setting preclude the idea of risk and allow the narrator both the retribution he seeks and the impunity he demands.
- 4. Carnival
- 10. Partying in the streets and masquerading are enjoyed.
- 12. The combination of alcohol and costumes creates an atmosphere where people tend to let down their inhibitions.
- 14. European Carnival traditions survive in the United States in the form of Mardi Gras.
- 15. “ The Cask of Amontillado” is set during the “ supreme madness ” of Carnival. In such a riotous atmosphere, it is easy to see how a crime could go unnoticed.
- 16. Lifestyles of the Rich Circa 1700-1800
- 18. Painting
- 21. Vineyards, where the grapes for producing wine are grown, create picturesque settings for owners’ estates.
- 24. The narrator plans for his revenge to take place in the catacombs beneath his estate. What are catacombs ?
- 25. Catacombs: Cities of the Dead
- 26. At a certain point in European history, catacombs, underground burial chambers, became a viable alternative to cemeteries.
- 28. Catacombs are characterized by extensive tunnels leading to chambers or recesses where the dead repose for eternity.
- 30. The wealthy could opt for family catacombs beneath their estates.
- 31. The narrator of “The Cask of Amontillado” carries out his revenge within the catacombs beneath his palazzo.
- 32. The narrator is able to lure his victim into the catacombs with the promise of amontillado , a fine sherry wine. (The l’s are pronounced like the l’ s in tortilla .)
- 33. The “supreme madness” of Carnival aside, why doesn’t the suggestion of a journey to the catacombs for a taste of wine seem odd or suspicious to the victim?
- 34. The Storage of Wine
- 35. For wines to maintain their best quality, they need to be stored at fairly cool and constant temperatures.
- 37. During the time period in which the story is set, modern electric refrigeration was not available. To protect wine collections, connoisseurs adopted the practice of storing wines under the ground where temperatures remain ideal year-round.
- 38. Basements, cellars, and even catacombs serve as excellent storage facilities for the precious vintages.
- 40. Herein, where wine bottles intermingle with the bones of the dead, the narrator carries out his plan for revenge.
- 44. “The Cask of Amontillado” ENJOY THIS LITERARY JOURNEY INTO THE DARK SIDE OF REVENGE!
