**QUOTES** from Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave.

**figurative language- "His comings were like a thief in the night" (pg 565)
**sentence length- "Again, he would sometimes walk up to us, and give us orders as though he was upon the point of starting a long journey, turn his back upon us, and make as though he was going to the house to get ready; and, before he would get halfway thither, he would turn short and crawl into a fence-corner, or behind some tree, and there watch us till the going down of the sun..." (pg 565)
**elaborate- "It was never to hot or cold; it could never rain, blow, hail or snow to hard for us to work in the field" (pg 565)
** emotional- "I was broken in my body, soul, and spirit" (pg 565).
**word choice- "My natural elasticity was crushed, my intellect languished, the disposition to read departed, the cheerful spark that lingured about my eye died; that dark night of slavery closed in upon me; and behold a man transformed into a brute!" (pg 565)


Gettysburg Address

people who fought- " The brave men living and dead, who struggled here."
Goals. "that this nation, under god, shall have a new birth of freedom"
visiton of nation "all men are created equal"

Coming of age in Mississippi- Anne Moody
-Blacks were very mistreated, no more slavery but segregated
- high school kids where the ones to mistreat at the bar
- if whites stood up for blacks they were treated like blacks
- sat in white section of eating place
whites don't want change
- got kicked, food poured on, drug acrost floor
-police didn't do anything
-she didn't blame the whites she said it was like a diesease

ballad of birmingham- dudly randall
Little girl wanted to protest, mom wanted her to go to church. the church got blown up. 4 kids died



Declaration of independence
The list of complaints begins with "He..."
1. Why do they repeat it? So you can't be confused as to who is doing the acts, and it shows emphasis.

2. Why do they make it personal? So people want to be involved and make a change, and the people want to be able to have their freedom which is why the came to America.

3. How does the D.I. anticipate its audiences resistance to change? They are so used to the ways of living in Great Brittan and even though they know what is going on is wrong they have no other ways of living. Change brings hardships and if they want change its not going to be easy.

4. How does the D.I. use parallelism? How does it impact the effectiveness of the piece?
It keeps it all tied together. Since only one person wrote it, it is all in the same style of writing. The begining and end are trying to say the same thing but in differnt words. It gives it a more powerful meaning beacuse they want to fight the government and change it.

5.What to you is the most convincing example stated in the D.I.? Why?
He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature. I think that would be scary because it would feel like something bad was going to happen and you would be on edge all of the time, and have no idea what was going on with the government.

Unit four research.

**Mark Twain**
1- What does his name mean: It means it's safe to navigate. It came from when he became a river pilot.

Irony- a technique of indicating, as through character or plot development, an intention or attitude opposite to that which is actually or ostensibly stated.
**it's like sarcasm if someone would say "My weekend was great, I had to work the whole time" they are actually meaning that they didn't want to work all weekend and it wasn't nice.

Jules Verne- was a french writer who helped start the science fiction genre. He wrote about air travel and submarines before they were invented. Some of his famous writing are. "From the Earth to the Moon", "Twenty Thousand leagues Under the Sea", and " A Journey to the Center of the Earth"

Gothic Literature

Gothic Literature is writing about horror and romance together. One of the first known writers of this genre was Horace Walpole. He wrote the the novel The Castle of Otantro. It was created in Europe in the 1760's. It comes from Gothic architecture. Some of the main points of this kind of writing are being anti catholic, and being romantic.


Romanticism doesn't have a whole lot to do with being romantic. It may include love, but it focuses more on nature and a persons emotions. The ideas are sometimes slightly unrealistic in the writings.



Transcendentalism was a change in many writers in the mid 19th century in the Boston area. This came from the romanticism style of writing from the europen writers. It was rejecting organized religion and wanting to be free from god. One writer was Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Unit 2

The first puritans that came to America mostly settled in Massachusetts. These people believed that god only chose a few to be saved, and that they could not do anything to change this. They have to listen to the people who god chose.
They had a strict set of laws they had to follow. Their leaders were the ones that came up with what was moral and what was immoral. Bestiality and homosexuality were punished by death.

This is were 19 men and women in 1692 accused of being witches were taken to Gallows Hill outside of Salem to be hung. This was only one of many ways they used to kill the "witches"

To a man named Giles Corey they placed heavy stones on his body, he lived through this for two days but than died.

May through October were the worst months in 1962. They had accused over 150 people of practicing which craft, and they put all these people in prison until they had their trial. The end of October the Governor realised the rest of the prisoners. Which was the end of the trials

Overview

This is were the pilgrims lived. The houses weren't much and you can see why the winters were so hard for them. Their houses were just made out of wood so they didn't keep much heat in them.  

 

Some Indians worshiped the sun like in the story "The Way to Rainy Mountain" her grandmother Aho worshiped the sun as a small child with her tribe. The picture shows how dressed up they were for their sun dances.

 

There are many legends in Indian culture. One of them comes from Devils Tower. It was said that there were 8 kids and the one boy started turning into a bear. The girls got scared and a tree told them to climb it and than they went up the to sky and became the stars of the big dipper. These story's are passed on from person to person. Like from Aho to her grand daughter. 

Their rituals are very important to their culture as to any. One way they celebrate things is face painting. When Teofilo died they painted his face to honor him so he would be happy and go up to the clouds and bring them rain.

 

The Native Americans didn't know what to think of the pilgrims. First they were scared of them but than they started to try and help the pilgrims out. Also they helped them out when they were all getting sick because their body's were used to the disease where they were.
