Page 1 1 a D V a N C E D P L a C E M E N T ADVANCED PLACEMENT ENGLISH Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition, 2015-2016 Mr. Orlando—Joseph A. Gregori High School Summer Assignment--Due the first day of school, Monday, August 10, 2015, without exception! Congratulations on becoming part of the senior class at Gregori High—while I’m sure you’re looking forward to graduation, this year will set the tone, not just for future classes, but for your college career. I expect you to work hard and to always do your absolute best—anything less is unacceptable! To prepare for next year, I'm asking you to complete three assignments: 1. Read and annotate Candide by François Voltaire, and answer the questions thoroughly. 2. Read and annotate 1984 by George Orwell. 2. Create flash cards for literary terms, and study them. On the first day back, I’ll expect you to have a good understanding of the novels and satire. I will be collecting the novels to check annotations and testing you on them as well. Questions for Candide: Chapter 1 1. Find a good definition of "satire"; include several examples. 2. What are some satirical techniques used in describing the characters in this chapter? 3. The French word "candide" implies innocence, naiveté, and purity. What do you find that is characteristic in people of this kind? 4. How is the humor achieved in the description of the characters? How do they get their names? 5. What is philosophical optimism? 6. Comment on Pangloss' logic of cause and effect. Provide specific examples. 7. How is the sexual encounter between Pangloss and the maid described from the perspective of Cunegonde? 8. Make a list of things that are being satirized in this chapter. 9. As you read Candide, try to keep in mind the contrast between the philosophical ideals of what the characters say and the reality of what they do, or what is happening around them. This contrast is one of the sources of humor in Candide. Chapter 2 1. How is this chapter a satire of military recruiting and training tactics? 2. How do the two men "recruit" Candide? What similar tactics might militaries use now to recruit young men? 3. Which aspects of army life are satirized in this chapter? 4. Find examples of how humor is achieved through exaggeration. 5. The author seems to equate military training with torture. Is that a fair comparison? 6. What are some of the references to the Prussian army of Frederick the Great? 7. Comment on Candide's gullibility - result of Pangloss's teachings. Another example of the contrast between the philosophy of optimism and reality. 1 8. The theme of "free will". What does it mean to have free will? Can one be in the military and still have a free will? Chapter 3 1. Theme of war and evil. Cruelty and savagery of war. What is unusual in the description of the battle in the first paragraph? 2. Comment on the theme of religion. 3. Describe the ironic mood in the description of the battle scenes and the celebrations afterwards. Who are the "good" guys and who are the "bad" guys in the war between the Bulgars and the Abares? 4. What is the difference between heroism and butchery in time of war? What effect does the term "heroic butchery" have in the description of the battle? 5. What are some of the outcomes of the "heroism" of the Bulgars and the Abares? 6. Describe what Candide sees in the Abare village. Is this heroism or butchery? Why? 7. Satire of religious hypocrisy and intolerance. Comment on the religious hypocrisy of the orator. 8. Who were the Anabaptists? Chapter 4 1. Describe the meeting with Pangloss. What news of Cunegonde and her family does Pangloss bring? 2. Comment on the concept of "satisfaction of revenge" as a military tactic. Is this something that is practiced by militaries today? 3. Contrast Pangloss's philosophical optimism and the reality of what happens to him and Ms. Cunegonde. 4. Parody of Pangloss's philosophical reasoning. Comment on the "cause and effect" in relation to love as it applies to Candide and Pangloss. 5. What is the source of humor: the clash between the real and the ideal. 6. What do you think is the point in tracing the origin of Pangloss's disease? What conclusion do you reach looking at the sequence of individuals who pass the disease from one to another? 7. What do you think of Pangloss's logic in how he justifies the disease? Chapter 5 1. How does the sailor behave during the shipwreck and the earthquake? 2. Lisbon earthquake. Evil as a force of nature. 3. What are the justifications for natural disasters? Divine retribution? 4. How does Pangloss justify the earthquake? 5. What is the encounter between the officer of the Inquisition and Pangloss all about? What is their debate about? Issues of fanaticism and intolerance are raised. Chapter 6 1.

What is Voltaire's quarrel with religion in this chapter? 9. How was the Inquisition a result of intolerance? 10. Can you provide any examples of religious intolerance among any contemporary religious communities? Chapter 7 1. What religious belief is being satirized in the second paragraph of this chapter? 2. How is this chapter a parody of the romantic adventure story? Provide several examples. 3. At the end of this chapter we note that Candide gazed at Cunegonde "with hungry eyes". Does this seem to indicate that his attitude toward her has changed? Chapter 8 1. What do you find strange in the way Cunegonde describes her treatment by the Bulgars? 2. In this chapter Cunegonde narrates her experiences of love, rape, and sexual passion with men. Such instances will be repeated in later chapters.

The idea that the New World is perhaps the best of all possible worlds is introduced in this chapter. 6. Comment on the theme of human misery and self pity. Chapter 11 3 1. What is the background of the old woman? How has she changed in her looks? 2. How is the melodrama in her story heightened? 3. Do you find any similarities in the way that the old woman and Cunegonde describe their experiences? 4. List some examples of satire of religious authorities. 5. This chapter focuses on the idea that cruelty by toward women is universal and not unusual. List some examples of how Voltaire represents this cruelty in a satirical way. 6. Religious satire is expanded to include Islam. Implication: no religion can restrain man's wickedness. Do you agree or disagree: Can religion restrain man's wickedness? Chapter 12 1. Comment on the element of sexuality in the old woman's story. Is there place for love and romance in that world, or is there nothing beyond self-gratification? 2. What do you think is the point of the story of the eunuch? What does he regret? 3. Describe the sarcasm in the old woman's description of how she lost half her buttocks. 4. Through all her misery, the old woman does not consider suicide as an option. She is not alone in her fate. Does this indicate that the lot of some folks is to live in misery their entire life? Does man have control of his destiny? Chapter 13 1. After hearing the passengers tell their stories, Candide begins to doubt Pangloss's optimism. Why? 2. This chapter takes the characters to the New World, which for many Europeans represented the possibility of the existence of a perfect society. Are things really that different there than in the Old World? 3. Describe the personality of the governor of Buenos Aires. Does he remind you of any other characters? How does his name indicate his importance? 4.

INTRODUCTION On Wednesday, January 7, 2015, armed gunmen entered the offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and killed employees and editors of the magazine in probable retaliation for the publication of satirical cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad.2 The attack on Charlie Hebdo has contributed to the debate over whether publication of speech that is likely to provoke violent reactions from religious extremists should be permissible.3 Some have argued that such speech should be prohibited in order to prevent responsive violence and terrorism.4 Recently, a school of journalism dean argued in USA Today that the publication of cartoons that insult the Prophet Muhammad 1 Daniel Ortner, J.D.

Drawing on the worldviews put forth by three wildly popular animated shows – The Simpsons, South Park, and Family Guy– David Feltmate demonstrates how ideas about religion’s proper place in American society are communicated through comedy. The book includes discussion of a wide range of American religions, including Protestant and Catholic Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Native American Religions, New Religious Movements, “Spirituality,” Hinduism, and Atheism.

Pro-Christian Humor and the Online Carnival Abstract Humor that takes as its comedic object the beliefs, practices, and culture of Christianity has flourished in the digital age via journalistic satire, video sharing, and social network websites. Theory of the comic's use as a moderator between the sacred and the profane provide by Conrad Hyers, and the carnivalesque literary theory of Mikhail Bakhtin, reminds us that humor made at the expense of elements of Christian doctrine and culture can serve to reify and strengthen Christianity in the United States, a conclusion justified by textual analysis of three websites featuring this material. The na alysis supports that an essential rule for successfully blending humor and religion together is to avoid directly leveling the humor at God or at Christianity as a valid religion but rather restricting the ludic treatment to church practices, church culture, and individual behavior. Comments made by readers reveal that a majority approve of the ludic turn, but vehement dissent shows a strong tension between the ludic and the presupposition that religion must remain sacrosanct and solemn.

  • Judaizing and Singularity in England, 1618-1667
    Judaizing and Singularity in England, 1618-1667 Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Aidan Francis Cottrell-Boyce, Gonville and Caius College, June 2018. For Anna. Abstract In the seventeenth century, in England, a remarkable number of small, religious movements began adopting demonstratively Jewish ritual practices. They were labelled by their contemporaries as Judaizers. Typically, this phenomenon has been explained with reference to other tropes of Puritan practical divinity. It has been claimed that Judaizing was a form of Biblicism or a form of millenarianism. In this thesis, I contend that Judaizing was an expression of another aspect of the Puritan experience: the need to be recognized as a ‘singular,’ positively- distinctive, separated minority. Contents Introduction 1 Singularity and Puritanism 57 Judaizing and Singularity 99 ‘A Jewish Faccion’: Anti-legalism, Judaizing and the Traskites 120 Thomas Totney, Judaizing and England’s Exodus 162 The Tillamites, Judaizing and the ‘Gospel Work of Separation’ 201 Conclusion 242 Introduction During the first decades of the seventeenth century in England, a remarkable number of small religious groups began to adopt elements of Jewish ceremonial law. In London, in South Wales, in the Chilterns and the Cotswolds, congregations revived the observation of the Saturday Sabbath.1 Thomas Woolsey, imprisoned for separatism, wrote to his co-religionists in Amsterdam to ‘prove it unlawful to eat blood and things strangled.’2 John Traske and his followers began to celebrate Passover

  • Religious Satire and Narrative Ambiguity in the Known World
    Religious Satire and Narrative Ambiguity in The Known World Michael Odom dward P. Jones’s 2004 Pulitzer Prize winning novel, The Known EWorld, explores the troubling historical phenomenon of freed blacks owning slaves in antebellum America. Jones takes what is al- ready a sensitive subject and further problematizes it by intermingling fictional and historical records, as well as displacing the chronology of events and character outcomes. This chaos proves calculated for the narrative voice to achieve a disorienting reading experience. Jones commented upon the non-linear structure of the novel in a 2004 in- terview: “It might be that because I, as the ‘god’ of the people in the book, could see their first days and their last days and all that was in between, and those people did not have linear lives as I saw all that they had lived” (4). Here Jones is referring to the literary concept of narrative omniscience, a frequently employed analogy that conceives of the author (and by extension, his narrative persona) as god-like in his knowledge of everything in the fictional world. When encounter- ing what appears to be an omniscient narrator, readers have a tendency to trust the account as both authoritative and reliable. Yet we might pause to consider the relationship between knowledge and morality in an omniscient narrator, and whether these two attributes might con- flict with one another. What if an omniscient narrator endorses slavery as a legitimate social practice? The proleptic narrative voice in The Known World unsettles the reader with ambiguous religious and moral sentiments. Despite blunt parenthetical pronouncements regarding characters’ destinies (suc- cess, death, etc.), random details from the past, and knowledge of in- correct census data caused by simple mathematical errors, the narrator expresses suspect religious views and reports anomalous supernatural occurrences that problematize the concept of narrative omniscience.
