AP Literature and Composition Reading & Writing Transition Tasks NAME: ______________________________________________________________ AP Literature and Composition Reading & Writing Transition Tasks In addition to getting to know you, and your writing style, through the College Application Personal Statement Essay, I am also providing you the opportunity to alleviate some of the learning curve associated with the transition from AP Language & Composition (English 5, 6) to AP Literature & Composition. During the 2018-19 school year, we will focus on fiction, including novels, plays, short stories, and poetry; therefore, we need to attune your mind to the language of literary analysis. I have aimed the information and activities provided within this packet at doing just this. Enjoy your time off, rest and relax your mind, but please complete the tasks below before you come back (see the suggested timeline as you consider how to budget your time). Purpose: to practice literary analysis in preparation for AP Literature and Composition Tasks: 1. Pre-view this packet. o For the final tasks, you will need to access and read the short stories on my website, the given websites, or another source, so pre-view these stories before you start 2. Read and annotate “Essential Elements of Fiction;” we will use these to discuss fiction. 3. Access the short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and read it closely in order to complete the “Elements of Fiction Graphic Organizer.” 4. Read and annotate the “Literary Devices That Create Voice” (tone, diction, detail, figurative language, imagery, & syntax); these are the main devices that create what we call “voice” in writing 5. Complete all six “Literary Device Practice” (practice, read, think, annotate, respond sections for each device) 6. Access and read the six other short stories; we will start the year with these stories. Outcome: Turn in all of your written work (this completed packet) on August 17, 2018. Suggested Timeline: Before the school year officially starts (at the end of July, beginning of August), carve out 30 minutes to 2 hours each day to complete the written tasks and reading. If you have a trip planned during this time, either complete this in the earlier part of the summer and/or use “down time” (plane or driving time, sitting in waiting rooms, etc.) to complete these. Day 1: Familiarize yourself with this packet, including accessing short stories Day 2: Read and annotate “Essential Elements of Fiction” Day 3: Close reading of “The Yellow Wallpaper,” annotating for “Elements of Fiction” Day 4: Complete the “Elements of Fiction Graphic Organizer” for “The Yellow Wallpaper” Day 5: Read & annotated “Literary Devices That Create Voice” for Tone and complete all Tone Practice (A) Day 6: Read & annotated “Literary Devices That Create Voice” for Diction and complete all Diction Practice (B) Day 7: Read & annotated “Literary Devices That Create Voice” for Detail and complete all Detail Practice (C) Day 8: Read & annotated “Literary Devices That Create Voice” for Imagery and complete all Imagery Practice (D) Day 9: Read & annotated “Literary Devices That Create Voice” for Figurative Language and complete all Figurative Language Practice (E) Day 10: Read & annotated “Literary Devices That Create Voice” for Syntax and complete all Syntax Practice (F) Days 11- 16: Selected a short story from the list and read it; read all six. Task 2: Essential Elements of Fiction (read & annotate) An author of literary fiction uses the elements defined and discussed below to not only create a work but also to create deeper meanings within a work. By studying how these elements work individually and together, we can consider how they produce the meaning of the work as a whole, a fundamental concept in an AP literary analysis. PLOT: what happens in a narrative; a series of events; arranged conflicts, complications, resolutions creating logical cause-effect relationships; the what & the why; believable (but not necessarily realistic) Five main stages of a conventional narrative: Exposition: opening section providing background of character, setting, situation, nature of conflict Rising Action: conflicts and complications begin to build. Conflict: the struggle within the plot between opposing forces, taking the form of a character, society, nature, or an aspect of the protagonist’s personality; external: a struggle against some outside force, another character, society as a whole, or some natural force; internal: a conflict between forces or emotions within one character Climax: occurs when the emotional tension or suspense of the plot reaches its peak; includes a turning point where fortunes of the protagonist move or worsen; building to this occupies most of the story, what follows is relatively brief. Falling Action: details the result (or fallout) of the climax or turning point; conflicts are resolved. Denouement (pronounced day-noo-mah): French for “untying the knot;” very brief; conflict resolved and balance restored; 20th-21st century writers often close without this final resolution. In medias res: Latin for “in the middle of the action;” a story starting just as an important event is to take place Flashback: describes events that have taken place before the story begins Foreshadowing: hints at things that might happen later in the story Questions: Is the plot arranged in chronological order, or does it being in medias res, or other progression? Does the plot contain flashbacks or foreshadowing? To what purpose? What is the nature of the conflict? Is it external or internal? How is the conflict resolved? Is there a denouement? If not, why is the story inconclusive? CHARACTERS: Protagonist: main or central character; often in conflict with another character (see next); engages the reader’s interest and empathy Antagonist: character, force, or collection of forces that stands directly opposed to the protagonist and gives rise to the conflict of the story. Round character: complex, more fully developed; exhibits a range of emotions and changes over the course of the story; dynamic Flat character: embodies one or two traits or qualities, not as psychologically complex; provide background to protagonist’s actions; static Stock characters: stereotypes (e.g. "town drunk" or the "mean stepmother") Foil: character who through contrast underscores the distinctive characteristics of another; usually a minor character to serve as a foil for a major character. CHARACTERIZATION: the process by which a writer reveals the personality of a character Two major methods: Direct characterization (telling): author intervenes to describe and/or evaluate the character (e.g. humble, ambitious, vain, gullible, etc.) Indirect characterization (showing): the author presents a character* letting the reader infer what kind of person the character is. *describes how the character looks and dresses, allows the reader to hear the character speak, reveals the character’s private thoughts and feelings, portrays the character’s effect on other individuals— showing how other characters feel or behave toward the character, presents the character’s actions Questions: Who are the main characters in this story? Protagonist? Antagonist? What do you know about them? Direct or indirect characterization? How do they, or do they, change from the beginning to the end? What is the function of the minor characters in the story? SETTING: time and place; the where and when; may include objective facts: nation, town, date, time, weather and season; the physical and social context Geographical location: topography, scenery, and physical arrangements Historical era: a time-period (with political, economic, or social upheavals) Cultural environments: manners, mores, customs, rituals, codes of conduct related to actual period culture, or community, or an invented one Questions: What is the geographical setting? Time, place, weather, seasons? What is the historical or social environment being depicted? What background information is required to understand the situation? What details of the setting create an atmosphere or mood? POINT OF VIEW: perspective through which a story is presented/told, whether by one character or from different vantage points (layered perspectives); narrative voice (vs. author) First-Person POV: a major or minor character in the story, tells the tale from his or her point of view; use of I, we pronouns; some include multiple narrators; a narrator may be unreliable (naïve, mentally ill, biased, corrupt, or immoral) Third-Person POV: an outside narrator, not playing a role in the actual plot; use of he, she, it pronouns; Omniscient narrator: third-person narrator who sees into each character’s mind and understands all the action going on; has access to what all characters think and feel Limited omniscient narrator: third-person narrator who generally reports what only one character sees and thinks Objective narrator: third-person neutral narrator; reports recounts only what characters say and do Stream of consciousness: inside the mind of the narrator, recounting thoughts, impressions, and feelings; without filters of causality or logic, the reader is privy to all of the character’s thoughts, scrolling through his or her consciousness/interior monologue Narrative frame (frame story): establishes who is telling the story and under what circumstances; usually create a shift in perspective (e.g. first POV to flashback) Questions: Is the point of view first person or third person? Is the narrator a participant or an observer in the story? If the POV is first person,

Proprietary Aspects of Commercial Remote-Sensing Imagery PatrickA. Salin * I. INTRODUCTION Remote-sensing is performed by sensors on board a satellite which is usually placed on a low polar orbit so that it may vertically scan the Earth while the Earth is revolving around its axis. Remote-sensing en- ables a very high altitude view of the areas which are covered and since it always follows the same path in a circular movement which is perpendic- ular to the rotation of the Earth, it covers the whole Earth after a few rotations. For example, US Landsat satellites, the initiator in the field, circle the globe fourteen times a day at a 920 km circular and sun-synchronous orbit,1 with a 200 km wide swath.' Their repeat coverage at the Equator is 18 days.3 Resolution of Landsat imagery is 30 m. (i.e. the size of the smallest object which can be identifiable on the basis of picture elements or "pixels"), within a standard image of 185 km by 170 km.

Instead, he holds that to speak of cultural diversity is to suggest that difference is only possible on the level of concepts and vocabulary, stories and beliefs, and to assume that there are objectively knowable truths about the material world that are immune to variation (Inquiry 20).

  • ELEMENTS of FICTION – NARRATOR / NARRATIVE VOICE Fundamental Literary Terms That Indentify Components of Narratives “Fiction
    Dr. Hallett ELEMENTS OF FICTION – NARRATOR / NARRATIVE VOICE Fundamental Literary Terms that Indentify Components of Narratives “Fiction” is defined as any imaginative re-creation of life in prose narrative form. All fiction is a falsehood of sorts because it relates events that never actually happened to people (characters) who never existed, at least not in the manner portrayed in the stories. However, fiction writers aim at creating “legitimate untruths,” since they seek to demonstrate meaningful insights into the human condition. Therefore, fiction is “untrue” in the absolute sense, but true in the universal sense. Critical Thinking – analysis of any work of literature – requires a thorough investigation of the “who, where, when, what, why, etc.” of the work. Narrator / Narrative Voice Guiding Question: Who is telling the story? …What is the … Narrative Point of View is the perspective from which the events in the story are observed and recounted. To determine the point of view, identify who is telling the story, that is, the viewer through whose eyes the readers see the action (the narrator). Consider these aspects: A. Pronoun p-o-v: First (I, We)/Second (You)/Third Person narrator (He, She, It, They] B. Narrator’s degree of Omniscience [Full, Limited, Partial, None]* C. Narrator’s degree of Objectivity [Complete, None, Some (Editorial?), Ironic]* D. Narrator’s “Un/Reliability” * The Third Person (therefore, apparently Objective) Totally Omniscient (fly-on-the-wall) Narrator is the classic narrative point of view through which a disembodied narrative voice (not that of a participant in the events) knows everything (omniscient) recounts the events, introduces the characters, reports dialogue and thoughts, and all details.

  • Imagery in the Journals Written by the Writing I Students of the English Department of Widya Mandala Catholic University Surabaya
    Imagery in the Journals Written by the Writing I Students Of the English Department Of Widya Mandala Catholic University Surabaya Nonce Trisnawaty Abstract. Many students think that writing is a daunting task and, therefore, they cannot write a good composition and journal writing is assigned for writing improvement. One of the aspects in writing a journal is imagery. Imagery is the use of concrete words to replace the abstract ones in order to enable the readers to imagine in everything experienced by the author. This study explored the kinds of imagery which are found in the journals written by the Writing I students of Widya Mandala Catholic University Surabaya. The subjects were eleven students of Writing I. Each student submitted 4 journals. A checklist was used to organize the imagery in the journals. Not all writing journals that were analyzed exposed imagery. Visual and auditory imagery were found. There were forty seven examples of visual imagery and six examples of auditory imagery. The olfactory, gustatory and tactile imagery were not found. Key words: imagery, journal, writing I class Introduction Writing is a way in which people can communicate thoughts and feelings with others graphemically. It is a complex process of language communication and also a creative thinking process (Zuo Huangqi, 2002, p. 197). Hansen (2006) states that writing skills can be the ticket to better college grades and greater academic achievement, even if the students do not study harder and know the material better than others do. Writing allows students to keep permanent records such as journals, and it lets students demonstrate their knowledge on an examination.

When poems denounce poetry as lies, self-referentiality is the source of undecidability, which is not ambiguity but a structure of logical irresolvability: if a poem speaks true in describing poetry as lies, then it lies; but if its claim that poems lie is a lie, then it must speak true.”—Jonathan Culler, On Deconstruction: Theory and Criticism after Structuralism (202). “They ain’t no different from nobody else....They mouth cut cross ways, ain’t it? Well, long as you don’t see no man wid they mouth cut up and down, you know they’ll all lie jus’ like de rest of us.”—Zora Neale Hurston, Mules and Men (22).

  • 'Avoiding Closure' and 'Postmodern Temporality' in Barth's 'On with the Story'
    „Avoiding Closure‟ and „Postmodern Temporality‟ in Barth‟s „On with the Story’ [PP: 135-140] Mojgan Abshavi (Corresponding author) Department of English, Payam-e-Noor University Iran Mahboobeh Taghvaei Payam-e-Noor University Iran ABSTRACT Postmodern temporality in literature, as it involves non-linear time and narration, creates a discrepancy between the narrated time and the temporal time of narration, and thus the order of events within a story are playfully dealt with. Complexities become more when there is no sense of ending in such stories. John Barth‟s „On with the Story’ proves a good case in point in reflecting the poetics of postmodernism by manipulating nonlinear progression of time with multidimensional, discrete, and game-like temporality in creating flickering textual constructions, especially when he puts no endings for his stories and avoids closure to mirror the breakdown of traditional narrative values. Accordingly, the present paper tries to highlight Barth‟s narrative techniques in foregrounding nonlinearity and open-endedness in his „On with the Story’. As such, the aim of the study is to determine to what degree Barth‟s play with time and narration echo postmodern concerns and how is possible to make sense of a postmodern story by investigating into its textual structure than the mere course of events. Barth‟s achievement in the postmodern ground in this story, just like his other ones, not only challenges traditional narrativity and temporality but also presents the reader with a new sense of understanding reality as it is happening around us. Keywords: Non-linear Time, John Barth, On with the Story, Multiple Endings, Postmodern Temporality ARTICLE The paper received on Reviewed on Accepted after revisions on INFO 12/09/2017 10/10/2017 17/12/2017 Suggested citation: Abshavi, M.

A self-report Psychosis scale (Davos Assessment of Cognitive Biases, DACOBS), as well as two experimental tasks assessing jumping to Hallucinations conclusions (the Fish task) and source monitoring (Action memory task), were used to investigate cognitive biases. Alexithymia was assessed with the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20). Alexithymia was related to the severity of hallucinations but not delusions. Patients with a lifetime history of more psychotic symptoms had higher alexithymia. Alexithymia has broad relationships with different cognitive biases, especially in the self- reported measure.
