Presentation Transcript

  1. “The Naming of Names” Journal Questions • Explain what is happening to Mars at this point. • Analyze and explain the simile, “The sophisticates came to Mars from Earth, bringing some of the red tape that had crawled across Earth like an alien weed, and letting it grow on Mars wherever it could take root.”

  2. Tuesday, 5/13/14 • Copy down HW • Complete Drill • Notice- no HW tonight- we are going to read the rest of this chapter in class tomorrow • Drill: Copy the following sentence. Label the S/V pairs, the clauses, the phrases, and write what type of sentence it is. Lights began to twinkle in the distance, revealing houses previously hidden, but sheltering stillness continued to enfold the valley.

  3. “Usher II” Journal Questions • What types of movies and literature started to become censored on Earth? Why do you think the government would choose to censor these? • Analyze the following quote from Stendahl: “…and shot them down, and burned the paper castles and the fairy frogs and the old kings and the people who lived happily ever after (for of course it was a fact that nobody lived happily ever after!)…The beanstalk died in a bramble of red tape! Sleeping Beauty awoke at the kiss of a scientist and expired at the fatal puncture of his syringe.” (Bradbury 140-141) Think about: On what does the government clearly put emphasis?

  4. Censorship • Motion Picture Production Code (Hayes Code) • Adopted in 1930 and started enforcing it in 1934 • In 1915 a Supreme Court case had decided that free speech did not extend to motion pictures, and that they could be censored • Movies were closely monitored for excessive violence, bad language, plots where the “bay guys” won etc. • Many people were upset because they thought it was overkill and that adults were smart enough not to be swayed by a movie • Lasted until the 60s when they adopted the ratings system that we use today

  5. Romanticism Romanticism: 1800s • Focused on emotion, nature, beauty • Optimistic view of life • Not always concerned with reality • Example- Lord Byron Dark Romanticism Example: Edgar Allan Poe

  6. Realism Realism- Late 1800s • Opposite of Romanticism • Painstakingly detailed representation of the real world…almost like a photograph • Emphasis on science • Emphasis on the ordinary, everyday, trivial, and even sordid side of life • Critical depiction of society • Use of language to give accurate depiction of what it was like to live in that time and place and what people were really like • Example: Stephen Crane

  7. Modernism Modernism- began in the early 1900s • Still the opposite of Romanticism (even more so) • The world is broken and collapsed • The self/humanity is damaged • Loss of hope/faith in the American Dream • Non-traditional Structure • Minimalism • Examples: Hemingway, Fitzgerald

  8. “Usher II” Poe Allusions • “Fall of the House of Usher” • “Murders in the Rue Morgue” • “The Cask of Amontillado” • “The Masque of the Red Death” • “The Premature Burial” • “The Pit and the Pendulum” For your journal question- pick two of the Poe allusions in this chapter to explain
