Introduction to Literature by Selene quiroz

Aritoteteles

Aristoteles was fasconated by how many things actually work: How does a chick grow in an egg? How squid reproduce? Why does a plant grow well in one place.

1. What makes people happy?

He suggested that good and succesful people all possess distintic virtues, and propossed, zeroed in on 11 virtues: Courage, liberality, magnificence, magnanimety, pride, patience, truthfullness, wittiness,friendliness and modesty.
¨Conversation is one of the ingredients of the good life¨

I think that the things that aristotle said are true, but it is not all that can make people happy, there are more thing for example: families, religios beliefs, dreams and goals of each person. It is good to have these views and develop them, but even without having them we can be happy and have a happy life.😁

What is art for?

The blockbuster art at time was tragedy. athenians watched gory plays at community festivals.
Peripeteia, anagnoresis, and Katharsis.

I liked the advice that aristoteles mentioned, i think that art helps us to be more sensitive to others, it opens our hearts it opens our eyes.🤓

What are friends for?

to comfort you, help you, help you be a better person, and to learn together.

a system for preserving a group's beliefs, customs, and history, in which parents tell their children about them, and the children tell their children, and so on.

Types of oral traditions

a206032 — 2021-04-13 16:05:28 UTC

1. Songs
2.Story
3.Dance-dramas
4.Poetry
No man is an island

No man is an island,

Entire of itself,

Every man is a piece of the continent,

A part of the main.

If a clod be washed away by the sea,

Europe is the less.

As well as if a promontory were.

As well as if a manor of thy friend’s

Or of thine own were:

Any man’s death diminishes me,

Because I am involved in mankind,

And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;

It tolls for thee.

My favorite oral tradition

ROBIN HOOD

What I learned from this topic is that the story of Robin Hood is a bit confusing, in some stories or movies different versions of the character are shown, the one I like the most is the Disney version because it teaches us from childhood to have a good Heart, that money does not matter and we must share with the most needy, be empathetic and it will always be good for us.

It is interesting for me to know how the English language evolved, I had no idea but thanks to this class I learned a lot.

Puritism in Mobick Dick and The Scarlet letter

I was honestly interested in reading the scarlet letter, but I think this book is very sad, I was impressed by the puritanism that influenced people to harm others and I think it is very unfair.

Gothic Literature

2021-07-05 14:55:30 UTC

I found the books interesting, now I will read the stories of Edgar Allan Poe, I like horror and they sound entertaining.
I think the people who wrote gothic books had a lot of imagination, the life of the authors was very sad to me, although I am learning that many important authors have had a difficult life.

This topic was my favorite, because I love these writers, I have read their books, and I have seen the movies, some are better books and some are not, in the most difficult moments of my life I have taken refuge in books and some were of jane austen and emily bronte. although I do not write poems I identify a lot with emily dickinson.💖💟💖

Final Reflection

2021-07-07 04:42:25 UTC

In this course I learned a little more about literature, I had already read some books but now I am more curious to know more and read more, I liked the books we saw during the course and I am interested to continue reading. I hope I can develop a good pronunciation and comprehension.
La quiero teacher, gracias por sus enseñanzas.🍎
