Often, early Native American stories used common, archetypal characters to help tell their stories. In this myth, the "chief" archetype is obvious. The chief is a powerfully important part of Native American society. He is thought to be strong, brave, smart, and loyal to his people. In "The Earth on Turtle's Back" the chief represents a God-like persona. First, the chief lives in "Skyland" which is located in the clouds. This is obviously comperable to the biblical "heaven". Also, the chief in the story is able to remove a large tree, "At last, with one great effort, he uprooted the tree and placed it on its side'. This supernatural capability is a common, archetypal characteristic of Native American, origin myths. Further, this myth also ....... cwarner https://padlet.com/cwarner/aaaq4znf0yh1/wish/278963352 2018-09-07 17:55:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/aaaq4znf0yh1/wish/278963352 In the three poems from the textbook, the author's use several literary tools to develop the Anglo Saxon theme of ___________ cwarner https://padlet.com/cwarner/aaaq4znf0yh1/wish/278964655 THESIS]]> 2018-09-07 17:57:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/aaaq4znf0yh1/wish/278964655 In the three poems from the textbook, the authors use several literary tools to develop the Anglo Saxon theme of loneliness. For example, in the poem, "The Wife's Lament" translated by Ann Stanton, the theme of lonliness is obviously conveyed. Through the situation where the wife is forced to leave the community, the audience is able to truly feel the sense of lonliness that is felt by the exiled wife. The tool that the author uses to convey this them is a kenning. In the third stanza, the translator states, "For this my heart grieves; that I should find the man well matched to me hard of fortune mournful of mind...". In this line from the poem, the repeated "m" sound in the words, "man, mournful of mind, me" seem to convey a sense of sadness and isolation. This kenning certainly seems to foster a keen sense of loneliness. cwarner https://padlet.com/cwarner/aaaq4znf0yh1/wish/278965141 2018-09-07 17:58:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/aaaq4znf0yh1/wish/278965141 Summer and Cullen https://padlet.com/cwarner/aaaq4znf0yh1/wish/279178724 To begin, in the poem "The Wanderer" translated by Charles W. Kennedy, the theme of loneliness is shown through the literary device known as kennings. The poem is about an exile wandering the lands. The exile discusses how alone he feels and how his heart his full of sorrow. In the poem, the author describes loneliness by using the excerpt "No wonder therefore, in all the world, if a shadow darkens upon my spirit, when I reflect on the fate of men". This excerpt contains kennings and supports the theme of loneliness by meaning if the man is to become more depressed. ]]> 2018-09-09 17:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/aaaq4znf0yh1/wish/279178724 Madelyn and Matt https://padlet.com/cwarner/aaaq4znf0yh1/wish/279189507 To begin, in the poem 
 "The Wanderer" translated by Charles W. Kennedy imagery is used to support the theme of loneliness. The theme loneliness is portrayed through the earth-stepper describing how miserable it is when you have been exiled, having sorrow be your only friend. The following excerpt "In rapture he greets them; in gladness, he scans Old comrades remembered. But they melt into air With no word of greeting to gladden his heart. Then again surges his sorrow upon him." Gives us the image of being back in the mead-hall, this shows the readers the vivid difference between the happiness of the mead-hall to the depression and loneliness of the cold winter landscape. ]]> 2018-09-09 19:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/aaaq4znf0yh1/wish/279189507 Emma and Bryan https://padlet.com/cwarner/aaaq4znf0yh1/wish/279190410 To begin, in the poem "The Seafarer", translated by Burton Raffel, is an explanation of the theme "isolation". A very common literary  tool is also used in this poem, imagery. The seafarer starts off by telling his hardships at sea. When he would have to watch the ship, he would be so cold and wet from the wild waves. He believes that no one understands the isolation and loneliness he feels. The speaker begins to compare the sea with God, and describes how everyone must be good to God and not deal with the Devil. In this poem, the phrase "the sea took me, swept me back and forth in sorrow and fear and pain, showed me suffering in a hundred ships." would help portray the theme of isolation, and uses imagery to paint a picture in your head. Without imagery, the story would have been very hard to understand, and you wouldn't have been able to put yourself in the speakers shoes. ]]> 2018-09-09 19:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/aaaq4znf0yh1/wish/279190410 Alivia and Megan https://padlet.com/cwarner/aaaq4znf0yh1/wish/279326376 To begin, in the poem "The Wanderer" translated by Charles W. Kennedy, the themes of loneliness and exile appear throughout the piece. These themes are portrayed through the literary device of kennings. This poem is about a man who has been exiled and is force to be alone and depend on himself. He describes how it feels to be lonely and depressed as he is wandering the lands, giving this piece a gloomy and sorrowful mood. For example the text says, "Oft when the day broke, oft at the dawning, Lonely and wretched I wailed my woe. No man is living, no comrade left, To whom I dare fully unlock my heart." This shoes how the mood is gloomy and sorrowful because he uses words like lonely and wretched. The man has lost his lord, who used to help support him by providing him with gold, which can be displayed in the kenning. After his lost, he is left with no means to support himself and feels adrift.]]> 2018-09-10 10:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/aaaq4znf0yh1/wish/279326376 Caylin and Hillary https://padlet.com/cwarner/aaaq4znf0yh1/wish/279347319 To begin, In the poem "The Wife's Lament" Translated by Ann Stanford, imagery is used to support the theme of loneliness.
