not summarizing the text nor the plot of a story. Yet, not many educators, so far, have discussed literary analysis thorough enough for students to understand. Thus, this results in an unpleasant score on their homeworks and class assignments, and leading to ignorance. Similar to critical thinking, analyzing literature means to closely focus on parts of the story, like the: plot, characters, settings, and events, to view how the author combines them to create a meaning or theme. Certain techniques
When i first entered this class I didn't know what to expect because our school’s english teachers are so unique in character. I knew for certain that the class was gonna be challenging just because it is an Ap class, but I never expected it to change how i see the world. I have never experienced the type of environment we had as a class in my thirteen year, pre-kinder to eleven grade, of learning. From forming a cult, to engaging in rigourous conversations, to just having moments where we go on

When you sign up for tutoring appointments, please remember to take the next available spot on the list. I'm not sure if you noticed, but when you signed up for an appointment yesterday, you skipped a space. Leaving an empty block of time unnecessarily extends my day not only at work, but also by putting me in the heart of Friday's commute traffic. I'm fine going home late if I'm helping students, but not if I'm waiting. Next time, just be sure to take the next available appointment (unless we
My primary difficulty in writing before I entered college was my ability to pull important information out of small, specific pieces of text. I never understood how one could retrieve so much information about a story from the analysis of as little as a description of the setting or a couple of lines of dialogue between characters. So, coming into my first day of English 1102 at the University of Georgia, I wanted to discover and use techniques that could help me analyze specific sections of text
typical housewife as she becomes painfully aware of the flaws in her marriage with a condescending, chauvinistic man. Ibsen uses the ideology of a Victorian society as a backdrop to inject the theme of heredity in the play. He employs several characters to demonstrate the different facets of heredity in order to highlight how this concept can impose restraints on a person’s individual development. II. Body 1.

Throughout the book Of Mice and Men, George, and Lennie are examples of the positive effects on building relationships, and Crooks is an example of the negative
(ERWC) we read the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury which falls under the analysis artifact in our CSP Portfolio. The reading process for Fahrenheit 451 was sometimes, we would go over the content together in class or sometimes, a reading page will be assigned to us to do for homework. Also, we had a mini project where we had to present about the key elements of the book such as the tone, purpose, theme, characters and bibliographic information. In my group, I was assigned to identify the tone
they struggle a bit, before fully understanding how to do it. This concept can be applied to various parts of my life, but most importantly, my education. In my first semester of college, I was in English Composition 101. Not having a teacher that was focused on interacting with the students and walking me through the writing process really had a negative impact on my learning. I had never been asked to write an analysis paper prior to that class and when expected to do so, you could say I fumbled
Psycho-Analysis in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Sigmund Freud's studies in psychoanalysis are uncannily fore-grounded in the late romantic period. The works of William Wordsworth, Percy B. Shelley, Lord Byron, and Mary Shelley, all function as poetic preludes to Freud's 18th century field. Particularly, it is Mary Shelley's Frankenstein that creates a fictional rendering for psychoanalyst. In Frankenstein, Victor's rejection of the Monster metaphorically represents the ego's rejection of the
