poem that is very brief (4, 2-line, minimal stanzas) that goes in, closer and then out again -- about the quotidian, but "so much depends upon" the ordinary -- part of the regionalism reaction after the war -- also about beauty in small things -- RESTRAINT, THE UNSPOKEN, THE LURE OF TRANSPARENCY, IMAGISM, MIIMESIS

poem that is one line -- modernist, as well as imagist poem -- autotelic, meaning that there is a notion that objects are speaking to you, but it's not that they symbolize something or that you can talk to them, they just "they are" -- intimate poem -- RESTRAINT, THE UNSPOKEN, THE LURE OF TRANSPARENCY, IMAGISM, MIIMESIS

short story that is a realistic story, in which the author criticizes his own cultural background and life -- the plan / crisis is established right away (particular point) -- characters Victor and Thomas go to Arizona to collect the little money his father left behind when he recently passed away -- so much about the father-son relationship, as well as story-telling and oral cultures -- RESTRAINT, THE UNSPOKEN, THE LURE OF TRANSPARENCY, IMAGISM, MIIMESIS

poem that has strong religious undertones and sacramental imagry -- however, this sacramental imagry is connected with nature (does this using personification) -- long poem that follows time -- structure is rounded (like Haiku?) --

poem about resisting death (repeats "rage rage agains the dying of the light") -- we watched a youtube reading in class -- it is an argument for pleasure, as well as being a threashold dialogue = therefore, the poet is telling his dying father to fight against the death that soon comes -- FORM AND VOICE, SETTING AS AN EXTENDED METAPHOR

short story about freedom and containment (and women's position in the house and soceity at this time( -- also about Mrs. Mallard, and her reaction to her husband's supposed death ("Free! Body and soul free!") and then her sudden death when he presents himself to her alive (all in the same swooping hour) -- beautiful, peaceful imagry when she is sitting by the window and looking at her new future -- another character (the deliverer of the news) is Jospehine -- Mrs. Mallard's body is the focalizer (everything goes through her body) FORM AND VOICE, SETTING AS AN EXTENDED METAPHOR

short story about about Dave, who gets a gun, and ends up shooting and killing a donkey -- Dave is the protagonist, but he is an unlikeable, anti-hero -- the plan is when Dave says "One of these days..." -- written by a black artist, and he seems to be poking fun at his own society and background -- the language demonstrates this particularly (Naw, Lawd -- and childish, uneducated, Southern-sounding in its entirity, but especially noticeable in the dialogue) -- DIALOGUE AND DRAMATIC STRUCTURE

short story about the different outcomes and contexts of a romantic relationship (usually) involving the consistent characters of John and Mary, and Fred and Madge -- written in sections A-F -- very cynical -- the setting is in dystopia (as opposed to uptiopia) -- apoctalyptic -- it is a post-modernist text, that comes from a revulsion towards romanticism after WWII (also, the lonely individual was born after the failure of belonging that resulted from participating in WWII) -- writes as if she is God and can manipulate her characters -- paratactic (beginning and end, beginning and end) -- present tense -- DIALOGUE AND DRAMATIC STRUCTURE

play/musical about Anne Boelyn (Henry the 8th's 2nd wife) and her execution -- the importance of the Fool character: she points out the irrationality in the rational, etc. -- Anne reaches ground zero and loses everything (ground zero = where things become real) -- 5 act play -- when Elizabeth is introduced the stakes are up-ed-- DIALOGUE AND DRAMATIC STRUCTURE

poem that compares an argument against virginity to the death of a flea -- the flea is her, him and them; their marriage and now they are bound (so she shouldn't kill the flea) -- a man is telling a women to sleep with him -- old English used -- structure is 6/3/6/3, also seems like the woman would be responding between the stanzas -- it is sick in the way that he is saying that she will lose no more honour if she kills the flea, that if she yields to him -- CONCEPTUAL THINKING: IMAGE, ALLEGORY AND PARADIGM

poem that is an argument with God -- the writer seems to think that his faith is lagging, and he wants a stronger, deeper faith -- results in plenty of oxymorons (imprison me, then I shall be free) -- strong sense of rhythm -- CONCEPTUAL THINKING: IMAGE, ALLEGORY AND PARADIGM

poem that immediately takes you inside the mind of winter ("One must have a mind of winter...") and by looking at the surrondings (going in close and then far out and repeating) the feelings of the writer are reflected -- this is called pathetic fallacy (how one feels is reflected on what they're looking at -- also lots of talk of wind and movement (change) -- CONCEPTUAL THINKING: IMAGE, ALLEGORY AND PARADIGM

short story about Parson Hooper of Milford, who decides that no one will ever again see his face becasue he will hide it with a black viel -- his wife Elizabeth is included in this -- creepy and eerie -- lots of threashold dialogue -- throughout the story his veil becomes a mirror, and people begin to see themselves in it, and they don't like it -- the writer was a narsassist -- his face will only be revealed to God after he is dead (not before, and to no one else) -- very little dialogue -- ground zero occurs when Mr. Hooper seems to interact with a dead person and only a superstitious old woman witnesses it (takes it to the supernatural and brings it back to the natural, or to reality) -- CONCEPTUAL THINKING: IMAGE, ALLEGORY AND PARADIGM

poem that can be seperated into two parts -- first part: talks about the world as a machine, and that everything is for sale (very Marxist: the human being is no longer a natural entity when it becomes a worker) -- second part: argument against economy and capitalism, through the introduction of rebirthing nature, warm and good -- LANGUAGE, RHYTHM, SOUND, RIFFS AND SENTENCES

poem that lists and then celebrates the imperfections and seemingly happy mistakes in nature -- finds beauty in everything -- uses hyphons multiple times (5) -- starts and ends with worship words to God, the Creator -- LANGUAGE, RHYTHM, SOUNDS, RIFFS AND SENTENCES

poem of the Romantic era, therefore, that is affiliated strongly with man's relationship to nature -- first person, this puts the thoughts, actions and moments into a focalizer / personna -- speaks about his own "cradled infant" -- LANGUAGE, RHYTHM, SOUNDS, RIFFS AND SENTENCES

poem entitled after the ruler of China during the beginning of the 13th century -- poem of the Romantic era, therefore, has to do with man's relationship to nature -- sense of the other (the Oriental) -- intense sense of rhythm, as well as interior rhyme -- movement: follows the motion of the river and the falls, etc. -- famous story about the composition and happening of this poem (fragmentary vision) -- LANGUAGE, RHYTHM, SOUNDS, RIFFS AND SENTENCES

poem with a seemingly more modern structure -- comparing a poet to an acrobat, they create out of nothing and out of insanity -- they will be fools, or they'll be nothing (dead) -- avant-garde poem -- LANGUAGE, RHYTHM, SOUNDS, RIFFS AND SENTENCES

short story written by a middle-aged black man, about a young white boy (an embedded journalist) -- extreme binaries and tensions -- the white boy experiences a black man being burned for the first time -- he is clearly horrified because of the amount of distractions and the latter sickness, but he sees that this is the norm -- full of realist details -- heavy sense of a moral center, but then this same moral center is evoked -- the floating signifier "it" -- shows how this is a disease and it exists throughout the country, in all sorts of town squares -- "COME WRITERS AND CRITICS WHO PROPHESIZE WITH YOUR PEN"

poem that is formatted like a short, short story -- the focalizer of the poem is talking about their experience at the Colonel's home, where they are presented with the horrors of treatment of Central Americans (his house is in El Savador) by his military regime -- it turns from denontation (table = table) to connotations during the line "They were like dried peach halves." -- this is the turning point, the language breaks, and it becomes more metaphoric and symbolical (the turning point is the one simile) -- funny because the simile is followed by an apology (oops, sorry, but I'm a poet) -- however, there is a strong notion that this is a true story, and this makes it carry heavy gravity and relevance -- "COME WRITERS AND CRITICS WHO PROPHESIZE WITH YOUR PEN"

poem that is a piece of literature of a witness, makes it a powerful testimony to the writer's upbringing and life -- but the author pokes at Native Americans with the title, he suggests that they exaggerate their own despair, and others impose this on them as well -- it's a kind of joke -- starts and ends "I open the door...and invite the wind inside." and wind = change -- message and implied meaning -- heavy use of repetition of phrases and structure , "and this Indian..." or "and this..." -- "COME WRITERS AND CRITICS WHO PROPHESIZE WITH YOUR PEN"

poem by a writer who was influenced by the cubist works (= radical person and poetical freedom) -- this poem is a kind of prayer to God -- talks about the atomic bomb, and how progress has become too comfortable (a comfortable habit) and it is making us more and more unnatural, and we are destroying the earth thorugh this progress = science has become criminal, and now we have taken the earth and chosen to dominate it -- LANGUAGE THAT INSPIRES LANGUAGE, LANGUAGE THAT INSPIRES COMEDY

poem that is a type of typograhy (visual art) and is considered concrete poetry (like a concrete mixture) -- when we realized that we could blow eachother up in really easy, but manevolent ways, there was an attack on language logic -- rearranging of the word "grasshopper" -- the poem is not about the grasshopper, but it IS the grasshopper -- LANGUAGE THAT INSPIRES LANGUAGE, LANGUAGE THAT INSPIRES COMEDY

poem that is an anti-war poem -- the writer is implying Plato's (Greek philosopher) phraLANGUAGE THAT INSPIRES LANGUAGE, LANGUAGE THAT INSPIRES COMEDY se "war is hell" -- there's the example of the scrap metal from the Sixth Avenue elevated railway in New York City that was torn down in the 1930s and was sold to Japan and then used for armaments used in WWII -- irony and binary and connotations --

poem that is a very musical, love poem -- the main binary in this poem is the open and closed -- including "close to" and "close the" -- this poem pushes everything into the real (ex. rain has a body / hands) -- LANGUAGE THAT INSPIRES LANGUAGE, LANGUAGE THAT INSPIRES COMEDY

play that has the message that underneath all this human progress and advancement, there is an increasing visciousness in human nature that can now be expressed through machinery and killing, etc. -- very much so based on a sequence of episodes (like a television show) -- but it still has a 5-act structure, with a crisis, or moment of recognition, in the 3rd act -- the crisis happens when Veronique states that she lives with a man who has decided that life is second rate -- ups the stakes with attacks on the other people -- the characters reveal themselves through monologues -- LANGUAGE THAT INSPIRES LANGUAGE, LANGUAGE THAT INSPIRES COMEDY
