25
2 Themes in Puddnhead Wilson and which I agree with
-Nature vs nurture Strong nature/will can overcome nurture, but weaker ones are more easily influenced by nurture/environment -Race as a social construct To an extent, yes. There are different races, but racial roles and stereotypical behaviors are a social construct.
26
Allusion of the boys names in Puddnhead Wilson
Tom-archbishop excommunicated those who didn't agree so they couldn't challenge him. Was assassinated. Chambers-French courts often had opportunity to move up and hold higher positions
27
Circumference
The end is the beginning of something else | -death begins eternity
28
Negative capability
Ability of the author to disappear
29
Common meter

30
True rhyme
Words that really rhyme--duh | -fat, cat
31
Slant rhyme

33
Romanticism in the awakening
Nature, individual
34
Realism in the Awakening

35
Naturalism in the Awakening
Objective narrator | Victimization at the hands of larger force (societal or physical)
36
Local color in the Awakening
Local characters Setting/ descriptions Dialects Predominance of short stories
37
3 thematic issues in the awakening
Alienation from culture Individual freedom vs societal expectations Natural urges vs free will
38
Development and meaning of art
Development: dabbled, then serious pursuit Meaning: developing emotion and expression, true art is outside the mainstream
39
Development and meaning of birds
Development: caged bird, pigeon house, must have strong wings, bird with broken wing Meaning: entrapment. speaking a language no one else understands except the mockingbird (Reisz). bird at end could be Edna failing or convention falling
40
Development and meaning of clothing
Development: clothes romanticized, making clothes, then washing clothes, takes off clothes Meaning: society and conventions. Adele looks great, Reisz doesn't care and out of fashion. Edna casts off the clothing in the end
41
Development and meaning of ocean
Development: begins the awakening, ends life Meaning: empowerment, freedom, escape. lover. rebirth. strength, glory, and lonely horror of independence.
42
Development and meaning of sleep
Uses: sleep in hammock to defy husband, wake up to see Robert whom she is growing to love Meaning: wakefulness=knowledge, sleep=ignorance.
43
How do you interpret the ending of the awakening?
I think she failed (bird with broken wing) and she turned back to what reminded her of the life she wanted and gave in to the allurement of the ocean. lonely horror of independence.
44
Burke's Dramatic Pentad
``` Act Agency Agent Setting Purpose ```
45
Series of balances pairs
Balanced, flows nicely - gold and silver, land and glory - flags of defiance in a landscape of despair
46
Repetition of a key term
The importance of that word/term - the inner world, the world of the mind - if he wanted to fly he could fly
47
Complete inversion of normal pattern

48
Paired constructions
``` Balanced and logical Not only, but also If not, at least Just as, so too The more, the more etc. ```
49
Absolute construction
Noun + participle that modifies sentence, placed anywhere. Emphasizes whatever is first. - having eaten dessert, he ate his pasta - his body turning against him, Chris starved to death in the wild
50
Emphatic appositive
Putting it at the end builds to climax and emphasizes the word with finality - Anyone should avoid two things: cactus needles and rattlesnakes - they echo the ideas of one man--Plato
51
Single modifier out of place
Highlights the importance - frantically, he rushed out - writers, ghettoized, fell into their own subculture
