2015 Summer Reading and Assignment List 2015 Summer Reading and Assignment List The books and assignments listed below are required reading for students entering and returning to Ojai Valley School. It is the student’s responsibility to purchase the books and to complete any accompanying assignments. It should be possible to obtain inexpensive copies of these books at Borders, Barnes & Noble, online at Amazon.com or other websites. Please read them over the summer and bring them to school in September prepared to discuss and write about them. The intent is for students to read thought-provoking literature that will stimulate questions and ideas for discussion at the start of the year or to get a jump on Advanced Placement coursework. Students will also have writing assignments based on the summer reading. We hope students will enjoy the books chosen by the faculty. As a community, Ojai Valley School faculty and students in grades 9-12 will read Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers: The Story of Success this summer. The Amazon.com website describes the book as an “intellectual journey through the world of “outliers” – the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing.” In addition to the all-school summer reading book, faculty and students will participate in a technology and learning assignment focused on listening comprehension. The podcast Serial by Sarah Koenig tells “one story, a true story, over the course of an entire season.” The Serial producers describe the show: “Each season, the show follows a plot and characters wherever they take us. And we won’t know what happens at the end until we get there, not long before you get there with us. Each week we bring you the next chapter in the story, so it’s important to listen to the episodes in order.” The community will discuss Outliers and the podcast Serial during the first week of school and use issues raised by them for discussion and reflection. All School Outliers: The Story of Success, Malcolm Gladwell All School Technology and Learning Assignment Goal: Listening comprehension – Serial a podcost hosted by Sarah Koenig Podcast available on the Serial website or podcast feed.

AP US History See assignment below AP Psychology Brain Rules, John Medina Computing and Robotics I, Robot, Isaac Asimov 2015 Summer Reading and Assignment List English 11 and United States History (Ms. Wilson) In addition to the all-school required book, students taking English 11 and United States History must read two novels from the summer reading list. The list is compiled of American novels, many of which have been awarded the Pulitzer Prize for literature, and all of which have an historical significance. There is a short summary of each novel with the date of publication. After completing each novel, students should write an essay on one of the questions and be prepared to turn in that essay on the first day of class. Note: The Grapes of Wrath may be read only by students who did not read it in English 10 last year. I. Early American Period The Last of the Mohicans, one of the novels in James Fenimore Cooper’s Leatherstocking Tales features elements of the early American frontier. These elements, the brave hero facing dangers and the encounters between red men and white men, seem stereotypical today since they have been so often imitated. However, Cooper was America’s first internationally famous novelist and the stories are great adventures. 1826 1. Explain how Cooper treats the theme of the “vanishing American” - the threatened extinction of the American Indian and his way of life. (American Literature, Vol. I) 2. Cooper’s images are the “very spirit of the wilderness; they breathe the somber poetry of solitude and danger.” (Novel 100)) Analyze Cooper’s writing style in the way he creates his wilderness settings. Moby Dick, Herman Melville’s whaling story of Captain Ahab’s vindictive quest for the white whale, has been lauded as America’s greatest novel. Although it begins as a narrative about a whaling expedition, it turns into “a metaphorical study of the nature of good, evil, and reality.” The complex novel has many layers: the story of a whaling ship’s fateful voyage, the story of a bitter man’s quest for revenge, and the story of humanity’s relationship to the natural world. (Literature and the Language Arts) 1851 1. Melville chose Nantucket, where the first whale was sighted in 1672, as the starting point for the “Pequod’s” cruise. Discuss what Melville explores about the American whalers, their individualism and heroic self-reliance. 2. The white whale with its enormous power and violence is seen as Ahab’s evil foe. But it is also seen as mild and beautiful by other members of the whaling crew. Discuss the symbolism of the white whale. 3. Discuss Melville’s use of Biblical allusions in the novel. The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne’s allegorical novel, is set in the Puritan colony of Massachusetts. The powerful characters, Hester, Dimmesdale, and Chillingworth are faced with the darker aspects of human nature, specifically with sin, temptation and guilt. 1850 1. Pearl has been called a symbol in this novel, an “emblem of sin,” and the “human embodiment of the scarlet letter.” Discuss Pearl’s role as both a symbol and a real child in the novel. 2. Hester’s feelings about her relationship with Dimmesdale are that their “sinful” act had a “consecration of its own.” The narrator informs us that Dimmesdale “sin” was one of “passion, not of principle, nor even purpose.” Discuss how these divergent views - Hester’s that their actions had a spiritual significance and Dimmesdale’s that they had broken a “great law” influence they way they react to their situation? II. Slavery and Civil War Period Beloved by Toni Morrison is based on historical events. Like a slave narrative, the novel confronts the painful aspects of slavery and their psychological impacts on the characters. “Beloved”, who may be supernatural, challenges the reader to explore the concept of motherhood, manhood and human relationships. 1988 1. Analyze the character Beloved. Consider her role in the novel, how her behavior affects Sethe, Paul D, and Denver. Is she the spirit of Sethe’s murdered daugher, a representation of the memories Sethe is trying to forget, or a former slave who has escaped captivity? Or does she represent all of these possibilities? 2. “Morrison has supplied a unique lesson in the ramifications of the legacy of slavery as an institution with devastating consequences on the family, sexuality, and psychological and emotional wholeness.” (Burt, The Novel 100) Discuss how Beloved illustrates the mental and physical effects of slavery on its victims. Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier is the story of a man’s quest to return from the Civil War battlefield to his home in the Carolina Mountains. (1997) 1. How is either Inman’s or Ada’s loneliness and solitude, their alienation from society, both literal and symbolic. 2. Discuss the crow as a symbol of Inman. Killer Angels by Michael Shaara won the Pulitzer Prize in 1975. The novel is set during the four days of the Battle of Gettysburg, and the characters are the actual historical figures, including General Robert E. Lee. Shaara’s context is based on the letters, journal entries, and memoirs of the men who fought at Gettysburg. (1974) 1. The Battle of Gettysburg may have been a turning point between old and new methods of warfare. Explain the conflict and consequences of Lee’s traditional strategies compared to Longstreet’s insistence on more realistic defense tactics. 2. Good friends, Lew Armistead and Winfield Hancock represent two different sides. Explain how they portray the dilemma of the Civil War. The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane recounts the story of a young soldier, Henry Fleming, during what is suppose to be the Battle of Chancellorsville. Although he dreams of glory, when the battle begins, he flees and rationalizes his actions. After several encounters with other soldiers, he returns to camp and fights in the final charge. His shameful behavior deeply hidden, he finds a quiet peace as a man. 1896 2015 Summer Reading and Assignment List 1. Discuss Henry Fleming’s change of character. Is he redeemed from his cowardice to become heroic? Or is his self-knowledge a delusion? 2. In Chapter 7 Henry comes upon a dead soldier in the forest. Explain the symbolism of this encounter. Consider the following points in your analyses: the setting (the “religious half light” of the “chapel” made by the trees; the corpse’s change of colors reflecting the changing seasons; and the look the youth exchanges with the corpse. Twelve Years a Slave is the narrative of Solomon Northup. Born a free man, he was drugged while performing with a traveling musical show and sold into slavery.

  • In Cooper's the Leatherstocking Tales
    CONNECTING THE VANISHING FLORA, FAUNA AND ITS RELATION TO THE INDIAN REMOVAL POLICY AS SEEN IN COOPER’S THE LEATHERSTOCKING TALES Ceisy Nita Wuntu [email protected] English Department, Faculty of Languages and Arts, Manado State University, Indonesia Abstract: This study aims at connecting the vanishing flora, fauna and its Relation to the Indian removal policy in Cooper’s The Leatherstocking Tales. This research applies an American Studies’ interdisciplinary principle supplemented by the myth and symbol theory proposed by Henry Nash Smith. Smith claimed the importance of imaginative works in revealing American culture. He declared that the historical, anthropological and cultural, sociological, and ecological data as covered in this research can be equipped by data from imaginative works. Hence, in this research, those data are presented integratedly in their context of past and present. In this research, in order to highlight environmental matters in Cooper’s The Leatherstocking Tales, the analysis covers the data above that are integrated with the data revealed in The Leatherstocking Tales as a whole by employing the concept of ecocriticism. The spirit of the immigrants to have a better life in the new world, stimulated by its rich, lush and beautiful circumstances, in fact, is not an aim of a sustainable life. The desire to improve their life is not enough without using and treating its environment wisely as well as facing it with the environmental conservation paradigm. The spirit of doing the exploitation is a consequence of western humanism value. The reason of coming to America to avoid the population density as well as the competition of life cannot be attained when the immigrants experience the same population density and harsh competition as in their old world and when the beautiful nature disappears, the forests become cities, the tranquility becomes noisy and crowded, and the people experience the uncomfortable life that many kinds of conflict can follow.

  • Us Lone Wand'ring Whaling-Men
    “Us Lone Wand’ring Whaling-Men”: Cross-cutting Fantasies of Work and Nation in Late Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century American Whaling Narratives by Jennifer Hope Schell B.A., Emory University, 1996 M.A., University of Georgia, 1998 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2006 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Jennifer Hope Schell Jennifer Hope Schell It was defended on April 21, 2006 and approved by Susan Z. Andrade, Associate Professor of English Jean Ferguson Carr, Associate Professor of English Kirk Savage, Associate Professor of History of Art & Architecture Dissertation Advisor: Nancy Glazener, Associate Professor of English ii “Us Lone Wand’ring Whaling-Men”: Cross-cutting Fantasies of Work and Nation in Late Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century American Whaling Narratives Jennifer Hope Schell, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2006 My project takes up a variety of fictional and non-fictional texts about a kind of work which attracted the attention of American novelists Herman Melville, Harry Halyard, and Helen E. Brown; historian Obed Macy; and journalist J. Ross Browne, among others. In my Introduction, I argue that these whaling narratives helped to further develop and perpetuate an already existing fantasy of masculine physical labor which imagines the United States’ working class men to be ideal, heroic Americans. This fantasy was so compelling and palpable that, surprisingly enough, the New England whalemen could be persistently claimed as characteristically and emblematically American, even though they worked on hierarchically-stratified floating factories, were frequently denied their Constitutional rights by maritime law, and hardly ever spent any time on American soil.

  • Artist-Author Mary Hallock Foote and Her Angle of Repose
    Artist-Author Mary Hallock Foote and her Angle of Repose Casey Bush © 2003 ary Hallock Foote, the noted but neglected Western writer and illustrator, once admitted the limits of her realism as she confessed to the editor of Century Magazine when asked to draw a M full-page picture of a sheriff’s posse: “The picture is not so sincere as it might be. The artist, in the course of many rides over these mountain pastures, by daylight or twilight or moonrise, has never yet encountered anything so sensational as a troop of armed men on the track of a criminal.” Likewise, few posses ran across women like Mary Hallock Foote (1847-1938). The Victorian gentlewoman traveled the American West dressed in hoop skirt and petticoats, insisting that her children be educated by an English nanny and fed by a Chinese cook, so that she could work on her illustrations and stories, without interruption. Due to the physical isolation of Mary Hallock, circa 1874 Foote’s various homes, she thirsted for cultured visitors, as noted by a member of Clarence King’s Fortieth Parallel Survey who wrote about a visit: “King and I forged through the forest, crossing a mine ditch and in a little clearing espied a cozy log cabin. As we approached, we discerned a rustic porch made comfortable...suggesting that an Eastern woman, and a cultivated one, lived at the house...King had known her but this was the first time I had met Mary Hallock Foote...She was well read on everything and ripped out an intellectual go-as-you-please backed up by good looks and brightness.

  • "Be Wise To-Day. It Is Madness to Defer; To-Morrow's Caution May Arrive Too Late." W
    PRECAUTION. A NOVEL. BY J. FENIMORE COOPER. "Be wise to-day. It is madness to defer; To-morrow's caution may arrive too late." W. C. BRYANT'S DISCOURSE ON THE LIFE, GENIUS, AND WRITINGS OF JAMES FENIMORE COOPER, DELIVERED AT METROPOLITAN HALL, N.Y., FEBRUARY 25, 1852. It is now somewhat more than a year, since the friends of JAMES FENIMORE COOPER, in this city; were planning to give a public dinner to his honor. It was intended as an expression both of the regard they bore him personally, and of the pride they took in the glory his writings had reflected on the American name. We thought of what we should say in his hearing; in what terms, worthy of him and of us, we should speak of the esteem in which we held him, and of the interest we felt in a fame which had already penetrated to the remotest nook of the earth inhabited by civilized man. To-day we assemble for a sadder purpose: to pay to the dead some part of the honors then intended for the living. We bring our offering, but he is not here who should receive it; in his stead are vacancy and silence; there is no eye to brighten at our words, and no voice to answer. "It is an empty office that we perform," said Virgil, in his melodious verses, when commemorating the virtues of the young Marcellus, and bidding flowers be strewn, with full hands, over his early grave. We might apply the expression to the present occasion, but it would be true in part only.

  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating' adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
