After deciding who should be chief, the group went on to assign roles in survival. On page 23, Ralph states, “The choir could belong to you, of course. They could be the army- or hunters.” inferring that the older group of boys should be the backbone of gathering materials needed to survive. The Marxist Theory comes in hand when the choir boys are seen as the elite of survival and the younger boys are seen as the weaklings of the group. Jack, the leader of the army, looks down upon the younger boys, viewing them as frail.

After the initial shock of crashing on an island, the young children turn to assemble a community. On page 22, Ralph quotes “Seems to me we ought to have a chief to decide things”, he is pertaining to the building of a new civilization. Moreover, “This toy of voting was almost as pleasing as the conch”, meaning the conch symbolizes the ruling leadership of the upcoming civilization. As their civilized society is beginning, they conclude that Ralph should be chief and lead their plans on getting rescued. Therefore leading to a representation of a new ruling party and the approaching working class (Jack).]]> 2020-01-28 22:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/437302588 Brave New World- Aldous Huxley imccue2333 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/437304705 " Alpha children wear grey.

This quote provides the idea that the entire book revolves around. There are socioeconomic forces that are making all beings believe and do what the system tells them.

This is Psychological because the speaker is explaining his views of how his poverty from drunkenness is not a sin, however his destitution is. Seeing as destitution is severe poverty to where one cannot provide for themselves, it is illogical to believe poverty to not be a sin when destitution is no more than circumstance. However, the drunken man is psychologically unstable to understand the true meaning behind his “sin” of destitution. ]]> 2020-01-30 17:35:30 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/438320637 Never Let Me Go- Kazuo Ishiguro llamas9275 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/438333683 "'We still didn't discuss the donations and all that went with them; we still found the whole area awkward enough. But it became something we made jokes about, in much the way we joked about sex. Looking back now, I'd say the rule about not discussing the donations openly was still there, strong as ever. But now it was okay, almost required, every now and then, to make some jokey allusion to these things that lay in front of us." Pg. 84
Background: the main character, Katherine, at 15 years old is told her purpose in life is to donate her organs. She is also told sex is good, and she should have it (keep in mind, she is incapable of having babies). But she doesn't feel like she can have sex or will be punished if she does.

Applying the psychological literary theory, we can conclude Katherine's id is fighting to fulfill her purpose in life and have sex. While her superego contradicts her by feeling like she shouldn't even though she's told she can. Lastly, her ego convinces her to attempt at losing her virginity and accept the fact she will donate her organs. ]]> 2020-01-30 17:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/438333683 Great Expectations ~ Charles Dickens vmejia1261 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/438468794 " ‘Hold your noise!’ cried a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the graves at the side of the church porch. ‘Keep still, you little 🤬, or I’ll cut your throat!’ A fearful man, all in coarse grey, with a great iron on his leg.

~ Using the Marxist theory, one can easily see the social hierarchy taking place within the story. Throughout the novel the characters are always worried and influenced by their class.

Hossieni portrays Marxist Theory in The Kite Runner by showing how different social classes affect how the people of Kabul treat eachother. The main character, Amir, describes how people treat his best friend and his family badly because they are of a different religions, Amir is of a higher social class and his best friend is his servant. In the text is states, " It also said things I did know, like that people called Hazaras are mice-eating , flat nosed, load carrying donkeys. I heard some of the kids in the neighborhood yell those names to Hassan." The history of the discrimination of the Hazaras by the Pashtuns continued into the socioeconomic system of the opression of the Hazaras of Kabul. There is an inequality of power shown by the wealth of Amir's father, one of the richest men in Kabul and who is of tne Pashtuns relion and Hassan whose family are poor servants . This shows the struggle of religious persecution that translated to economic oppresion which keeps the cycle of discrimination going on within the society. -Karen Herrera]]> 2020-01-31 01:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/438549670 I'll Give You The Sun - Jandy Nelson https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/438583280 In I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson uses feminine/gender theory when describing both of the main characters, Noah and Jude.

This can be seen in the quotes "And now a passenger lies dead in his berth -- stabbed" and "I know your reputation. I know something of your methods. This is the ideal case for you... I have faith in you!" As humans, the thought of death and murder is a thing we often fear. Christie uses the negative thoughts of death to highlight the quest of the main character, Hercule Poirot, making him appear to be at the right place and the time (he is a high rated investigator). Quests are seen in many stories we read as kids, therefore, solidifying Christie use of common story patterns. Although Poirot could never really be seen as the "hero" since the victim is already dead, he can still be seen as an adventurer.]]> 2020-01-31 03:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/438588931 Jane Eyre- Charlotte Bronte AAlvarado02 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/438607464 From the opening chapter of Jane Eyre, it is evident that there will be feminist/gender theory undertones throughout the story. At the young age of ten, Jane is accustomed to the fact that she will always need to be proper and quiet, like a "good lady." "Be seated somewhere; and until you can speak pleasantly, remain silent," (pg 3) Ms. Reed said to her, showing that she should not be a woman with thoughts or opinions, and should stay silent. We later see that she also fears a 14-year-old boy, John, even calling him "Master Reed" even though he is still a child himself.

What we are supposed to feel towards these bodies is hatred and scorn. This isn’t what I feel. These bodies banging on the Wall are time travellers, anachronisms. They’ve come here from the past.

What I feel towards them is blankness. What I feel is that I must not feel. “(Ch.5 / pg.33) This quote is a prime example of how the characters are psychologically impacted. The handmaiden is stripped of her dignity and past life. Only to leave her in a society for one thing only.... to be a surrogate for the commanders wife. Unfortunately the handmaids are pushed to follow the beliefs and lifestyle as the “New society”. The way this quote conveys it’s psychological element is by displaying to the reader the new norm for the handmaids. They are set to feel what they are told to feel and not what they want to feel.

LITERARY THEORY

My literary theory is in connection with the feminist/gender theory because the ideology of close minded men and even women sometimes portray other women as human beings who are only there to have babies and nothing else. It could also be the reason why they have “Commanders” as higher power as example to the idea that most men believe that they are “superior”. Hints why the commanders wife is always called by her husbands name by others. Another connection could be that the handmaid who is the main character (who also is called by the last name of the Commander) is a symbol feminism. Even though haven’t finished reading it, she could be the one who breaks free.

On page 139 of the novel Gone Girl, Amy states “I feel like something is going wrong… I don't feel like Nick’s wife… I don't feel real anymore… I feel like I could disappear.” Being that she's writing diary entries about her life and feelings, this may come into question with the police over her actual disappearance, leaving Nick to be the number one suspect. But contradicting this statement, Nick implies that she Isn't herself anymore “... Literally shed herself, a pile of skin and soul on the floor, and out stepped this new, brittle, bitter Amy.” (page 66). Given the two contexts, It’s hard to decipher who is the good guy and who is the bad. Thus leaving the reader in a who’s who. I believe that they both have something to hide considering they are both secretive in their movements, who they talk to, and how they talk about each other, although I believe Amy is scheming with her treasure hunts.

Because, Jo doesn’t like the patriarchy of the society she lives in, so she tends to break gender roles. On page nine Jo says ‘I hate to think I’ve got to grow up, and be Miss March, and wear long gowns, and look prim as a China aster! It’s bad enough to be a girl, anyway, when I like boys’ games and work and manners!” Jo is saying that due to society’s expectation for young women and all women, she can’t be her true self as an adult. She rather much work and fight in a war, then look “prim as a China aster.” So the feminist role comes in with her trying to break society’s role for her, when she starts to rebel and not wear white gloves to a part or be married at a proper age. Jo tries her best to defy the gender roles by arguing and negating everything externally every chance she gets, and also within herself.

The author uses the platform of an autistic boy named Christopher Boone. This can be seen in the quote from Christopher “Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them.” (Ch.19, Pg.12) Christopher feels safe when he is solving math problems or learning science facts. These two subjects console him because the answers to their questions are logical. He loves prime numbers the most and this is why the chapters of this book are all prime numbers. He feels prime numbers represent his life, because he has a behavioral problem, which is why he attends a school for children with special needs. He has a hard time understanding all the social rules which make up everyday life. For instance, while most people understand facial expressions, to Christopher they are confusing. He tries to interpret them correctly, but mostly he responds to them in an inappropriate manner. So to him the rules of knowing what a frown indicates or a smile means in a particular moment is akin to listening to an unknown language for the rest of us. This highlights the stigma that surround people with special needs and brings the struggles that they face into the light, so that others without special needs can understand the hardships in which people like Christopher face on a day to day basis.

Knowles purposefully uses it when explaining the personality of the main character's friend, Phineas: “It was partly his doing. The Devon faculty had never before experienced a student who combined a common ignorance of the rules with a winning urge to be good, who seem to love the school truly and deeply, and never more than when he was breaking the regulations, a model boy who was most comfortable in the truant’s corner. The faculty threw up his hands over Phineas, and so it loosened its grip on all of us.” (Pg. 16) The Marxist theory is apparent through the faculty symbolizing the government and the top of the hierarchy. Phineas is a dangerous revolutionary that is trying to bring attention to the needs of the lower class which is the boys in the academy. The Marxist theory allows for this to shine through and make it apparent that Phineas’s actions have an adverse effect on all the boys in the academy. In order to prevent a revolt from all the boys, the academy faculty decide to loosen their tyrannical hold over them. This came from Phineas’s actions which the faculty believes could spread to the others unless they accommodate his needs. This parallels a king granting the needs of the peasantry to prevent a revolution. Overall the Marxist theory is the best to apply to A Separate Peace due to Knowles parallels of the academy to a hierarchical system. ]]> 2020-01-31 23:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/439051906 Lord of the Flies - William Golding tdemby9377 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/439058102 In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, both Marxist theory and Psychological theory make themselves very evident. As the boys discover their new territory on the island and begin to distribute duties, a hierarchy instantly forms. Ralph is chosen as the leader, Jack is unhappy with Ralph leading the group and decides to branch off and lead a group of his own on the opposite side of the island. Away from civilization, the boys begin to lose sanity. At this point in the story, the nature of their situation becomes psychologically damaging and leads the boys to begin plotting to kill each other, which leads to the death of two of Ralph’s followers. The boys also begin to value the role of the conch and the "power" it gives them:

“They obeyed the summons of the conch, partly because Ralph blew it, and he was big enough to be a link with the adult world of authority.”

The very first sentence is "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."

Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation. Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in to the power of the music of the night.” The psychoanalytical theory, as described by Sigmund Freud, is the theory of how a individual’s personality is formed based on three fundamental structures of the mind: the id, superego and ego. The id is the body’s needs, wants, desires, or impulses, all of which are usually sexual or aggressive in nature. The superego is the individual’s morals; it’s the part that strives to act in a socially acceptable way by being conscious of “authority” and “law”. The ego is the common ground between these two and is, essentially, the individual’s conscious. you can apply this theory to the given quote by suggesting “floating, falling, sweet intoxication.” his mental health is deplinishing. “touch me, trust me, savor each sensation.” would then suggest them trying to gain their mind back but fail and is now savoring the last moments of her sanity. “Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in to the power of the music of the night.” would also suggest her complete and udder lose of her mind. ]]> 2020-02-01 01:20:07 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/439066536 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone-J.K.Rowling sforey0040 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/439068300 "Ten years ago, there had been lots of pictures of what looked like a large pink beach ball wearing different colored bonnets- but Dudley Dursley was no longer a baby, and now the photographs showed a large blond boy riding his first bicycle, on a carousel at the fair, playing a computer game with his father, being hugged and kissed by his mother. The room held no sign at all that another boy lived in the house, too."(chapter 2, page 18). The Marxist theory is applicable here because Rowling contrasts the treatment of two individuals within the same household. One is obese and pampered by his parents, while the other is malnourished and neglected by his aunt and uncle. The favoritism toward Dudley is made very apparent throughout the early chapters of the book, and Harry is treated as a second class citizen in his own home. Even his room isn't an actual room, but a cupboard under the stairs, which is evocative of lower-class citizens' living conditions and further supports the Marxist theory's application in the story.]]> 2020-02-01 01:34:18 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/439068300 The Great Gatsby - F.

In this quote that was stated by Gatsby, is the definition of new money, the people with new money received their wealth through working by themselves and not obtaining it through family generations. Fitzgerald, portrays new money people as partiers, spenders, flashy, and lacking in social class.

On page 3, Connell talks about Marianne and says “It’s true she is the smartest person in school.” Later, on page 11, Marianne describes Connell by saying, “Connell Waldron was the center forward.

The setting within this story is based around 1950-1965 in which equality and/or same-sex marriage is "limited" in such perspectives. Though, Shirley Jackson incorporated feminist/gender ideologies within the female characters (even if feminism/gender theory is not quite apparent within the plots because when Jackson published this book, LGBTQ literature is banned, so Jackson incorporates subtle hints of feminism/gender within this haunting-gothic-creepy literature) which appeal towards the readers in ways that make the "haunting-creepy-gloomy" aura become a piece that relates to the readers. A quote that simply portrays this is when Eleanor and Theodora both have a conversation in which depicts the irony of the theory. In the quote on page 25 of Chapter 5, Eleanor states that "...By now they would surely know that she had taken the car and gone, but they would not know where...They would never have suspected it of Eleanor... Everything is different, I am a new person, very far from home..." This comes to portray that Eleanor has always longed for being a free, independent woman away from her sister and her brother-in-law's authority. But Eleanor's fear and anxiety of living the "American Dream" creeps out of the thought of leaving home. Furthermore, Eleanor is a unmarried woman who lives with her sister. During the 1950's, this is perceived as unusual since it is expected for a woman to have children and a husband to care for. Because of this, Eleanor aims to venture out of this "Misogynistic ideology/expectations" by following Dr.Montague's invitation to the Hill House despite what awaits her.]]> 2020-02-01 04:12:30 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/439088369 Pride and Prejudice- Jane Austen vbrown9656 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/439091110 In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen portrays Mr.Bennet and his wife with the Marxist theory.

In the text it states, “My mama she fuss at me an look at me. She happy, cause he good to her now.” Walker is conveying that Celie is taking the abuse from her father instead of her mother. This teaches Celie to think that abuse is normal to women, as well as that parents do not protect their children. This creates a toxic mental state for Celie. Because of this, she writes letters to God looking for answers to why this is happening to her.

In the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell It is clear that the Marxist literary theory can be applied. The animals represent a “working class” and the farmer represents the “upper class”.

So successful a watch and ward had been established over the young lady by this judicious parent, that she had grown up highly ornamental, but perfectly helpless and useless. With her character thus happily formed, in the first bloom of her youth she had encountered Mr. Pocket: who was also in the first bloom of youth, and not quite decided whether to mount to the Woolsack, or to roof himself in with a mitre. As his doing the one or the other was a mere question of time, he and Mrs. Pocket had taken Time by the forelock (when, to judge from its length, it would seem to have wanted cutting), and had married without the knowledge of the judicious parent. The judicious parent, having nothing to bestow or withhold but his blessing, had handsomely settled that dower upon them after a short struggle, and had informed Mr. Pocket that his wife was ‘a treasure for a Prince.’ " (Ch.23, Pg.265)

~ Using the Feminist/Gender theory, one can easily see how Mrs.Pocket's father had full control of her entire life even after he passed away due to his antiquated beliefs. Which was and is still very common for a lot of young women today. Her father only wanted her to know how to please a husband, and attain a husband of nobility or with a much higher status than her. Though she is happy with the family her father indirectly made for her, she still yearns for something more. She wishes she wasn't just a simple house wife stuck at home with no knowledge of domestic duties. So she can't help herself or others because she literally wasn't taught anything so she is forced to depend on her husband and the help for every little thing.

MARXIST THEORY

This quote symbolizes and points out the fact that no world or place may function if not everyone works their job for one another. Both in the book and the world we live in today are within socioeconomic systems, whether we like to accept it or not. In order for each business or job to be successful they must work for another business and this creates a chain reaction that makes our world function in such a fashionable manner. The only thing I may disagree with in the book so far is that they should not be forced into certain caste groups based off a single test. Furthermore, each person should fall into a caste group on their own, which gives more freedom leading to more happier people in society.

Amir's father is calling his son a coward in front of his friend and states that his weakness is his flaw. The Gender theory can be applied to this quote because Amir's own father wishes Amir to be more masculine and "man up" to defend himself.

Or sometimes, we are sad but we really don't know why we are sad, so we say we aren't sad but we really are.” (Ch.109, Pg.75), what Christopher is trying to get across is that when obsession with an event or object becomes habitual, we can often become incredibly sad and distressed at the seemingly unsolvable puzzle that stands in front of us. In these moments we need to understand that we can’t solve a problem at the same level it was created and therefore to let go of sadness, it may be necessary to look at things afresh.

In the “Joy Luck Club,” Amy Tan writes about the different women in the book and their roles as wives and the ideals that they believe most suit them the best. While one woman believes that it is her husbands duty to do all the work for the family, another believes that both should share equal work and provide equally for their own family. Throughout this, these elements tie back to the mother and daughter disagreements, as the mother believes that she didn't raise her daughter the right way tying into the Gender Theory. “A boy can run and chase dragonflies, because that is his nature. . . . But a girl should stand still. If you are still for a very long time, a dragonfly will no longer see you. Then it will come to you and hide in the comfort of your shadow.” page 70. With saying this, Gender Theory is shown because of the different roles that society places on both the male and female gender. Some women think one way and other women think another way. Men think one way and other men think another way. This can all be brought up by the way you’re raised, but the author brings in another perspective that many may not expect.

Gene, the main character, is reserved and follows the rules while his friend Finny is very outgoing and daring this making him a foil. One day when Finny broke the rules and didn’t go to the mandatory dinner one of the teachers came to chastise him, however Finny did not allow that to happen and instead controlled the conversation.
“But Finny pressed his advantage. Not because he wanted to be forgiven for missing the meal - that didn’t interest him at all, he might have rather enjoyed the punishment if it was done in some novel and unknown way.”
Using the psychological theory, Finny most likely did not get a lot of attention from his parents growing up. This is why he constantly acts out around adults to try and fill the lack of attention he had as a child. This lack of attention also accounts for his low level of respect for authority throughout the book.

In many short stories, novels, and movies that focus on survival, s**t goes down once people get stuck somewhere they aren't suppose to get stuck.

Mr.Bingley has danced with Charlotte, but then decided that Jane was the prettiest out of all the local girls. Mr. Darcy soon came in and compared to Mr.Bingley, Darcy is the most attractive but is too proud to be likable despite his family fortune. The Bingley sisters try to connect with the Elizabeth and Jane, meanwhile Bingley's attention is on Jane. Elizabeth thinks her sister is hiding her affection. " If a woman conceals her affection with the same skill from the object of it, she may lose the opportunity of fixing him." Mr.Darcy is attracted to Elizabeth due to her rejecting to dance with him after eavesdropping in on her conversations. After the ball the next day Jane received an invitation to Netherfield Park for a day. Mrs.Bennet came up with a plan to send Jane off by horse and not coach. Due to this she got ill after being soaked and was forced to stay longer than intended at the Bingley's. Elizabeth comes over and also gets soaked due to walking by foot. Mr Darcy defends the Bennet's after his sifters make fun of the Bennet's. Soon the Gender theory is implied by Mr. Darcy and Mr.Bingley making a list of what women should poses since the Bennet's are not good marriage prospects due to their family wealth.

Leave her in kneesocks and hair ribbons and let me grow up, unencumbered by my literary alter ego, my paper- bound better half, the me I was supposed to be.” This can connect to the psychological theory because it encompasses the need for Amy to escape her alter ego Amazing Amy who gets a husband, and finishes what she starts. Unlike the real Amy, who is single and quits anything that she doesn’t want to finish.

He had made a promise to Anna that he would be there for them, the way his own father had not been able to be there for him." This quote explains the way Kojo is scarred from not having a father figure growing up, and how he wants his child's growing ages to be better than his were.

In this quote specifically exhibits the way Shirley Jackson incorporates this theory within her characters (Eleanor and Luke in this quote), “Luke... Why do people want to talk to each other? I mean, what are the things people always want to find out about other people?” (Pg. 120-122). I chose this quote and correlated it with Archetypal Theory because I figured it brought upon Eleanor’s slight “coming of age” ideal. Especially after taking her sisters car and leaving her house to have some adventure and actual life in her life, I assumed that Eleanor must’ve desired for fascinations and just enjoying her time at the Hill House with the other inhabitants. Eleanor is a character in this book that truly illustrates the differences within knowing the narration (3rd person, 1st person, etc) due to her line of conscience being sporadically included. That quote may seem just like a “self explanatory” line in the book at first read but Shirley Jackson was able to portray the coming of age and initiation of Eleanor alone. In the beginning of the book, Eleanor remembers that people appeals to answering questions about themselves. But in this quote, Eleanor’s finding-myself-and-having-more-adventure characteristic has made her been more conscious towards her outside perseverance and nature due to the fact that for a long time she has been held back from obtaining and acquiring knowledge about the ways of the world. Although this not only appeals towards the readers on also finding ourselves or our paths, this quotes’ setting/plot line was actually when Eleanor was experiencing supernatural events and is becoming more and more disassociated from her friends (Luke and Theo/Theodora). Because of this, Eleanor illustrates and exhibits towards the readers that there is something creeping up on her that will be detrimental or inimical. This of course challenges and contradicts herself when all she wanted was to leave her sister and brother in law and to see what Hill House has for her. Going back to the Archetypal Theory, this is considered to be one due to the coming of age and initiation concepts of what Eleanor is going through and how it correlates to people also having similar experiences of the “coming of age” ideal and that we, too also experience contradictions in our life; minus the supernatural manifestations and eerie inimical situations... unless....????]]> 2020-02-08 05:16:13 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/442492549 Literary Theory #2: The Lord of the Flies dacevedodia1351 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/442492954 In The lord of the flies, William Golding emphasizes a Marxist theory when he writes “This toy of voting was almost as pleasing as the conch. Jack started to protest but the clamor changed from the general wish for a chief to an election by acclaim of Ralph himself. None of the boys could have found good reason for this; what intelligence had been shown was traceable to Piggy while the most obvious leader was Jack. But there was a stillness about Ralph as he sat that marked him out: there was his size, and attractive appearance; and most obscurely, yet most powerfully, there was the conch.” In this quote the kids have elected Ralph as their “chief” , it shows how he’s the ruling class character. He is also elected chief because of his looks and strength .]]> 2020-02-08 05:21:24 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/442492954 Literary Theory #2: Lord of the Flies tdemby9377 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/442494757
As the boys continue getting accustomed to life on this deserted island, they start to set up various social rules and consequences for if these rules are broken. Being that on this island there is initially no system of regulation or government, the boys take it upon themselves to establish a system to keep everything in order. This is evident in this quote from co-leader Jack:

"I agree with Ralph. We've got to have rules and obey them. After all, we're not savages. We're English, and the English are best at everything. So we've got to do the right things." (page 42)

While all of the boys must abide by this new social rule, certain members of the group, such as leaders Ralph & Jack, have it "easier" being that they most often are the ones making the rules and distributing consequences to their "workers" (the rest of the boys). This suits the Marxist theory very well being that in this story the boys taking orders from both Ralph and Jack represent the working class (proletariat) and Ralph and Jack represent the bourgeoisie. ]]> 2020-02-08 05:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/442494757 The Shinning by Stephen King dmcafee2730 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/444172667 Throughout the beginning of Stephen Kings novel The Shinning, the physiological theory is clearly being shown throughout the story.

This source backs up my use of the psychological theory regarding Finny and his actions. The source supports that Finny's behavior is beyond what the academy can handle and restrain. Furthermore, Finny's desire to escape reality and to have fun before going to war also prove that his fundamental thinking and consciousness are playing a role in his actions. Finny is ignoring his subconscious knowledge of what's to come by distracting himself with sports and games.

A slave, such as Jim, could be the nicest, most caring person you have ever met, but since he is a slave he is presumed incapable of such things."

The literary theory that this quote connects to is Psychological because both Huck and Jim can never reach the standards of their society. This is makes it frustrating for the main character's and the supporting character's lives; furthermore, it becomes the main reason why they travel the river, to escape their toxic and harsh society. More so, Jim is the perfect example to this theory because he will be deemed a "slave" for his entire life no matter how much he tries to erase that image in people. This defines what the South is during the mid 1800's at the peak of a civil war.

I think he chose the east to represent old money because in America all of the people who came from old money would live in the east. All of the New England states, New York and Virginia were the original states that all of the wealthiest people came from in the early stages of American society. He refers to new money as west egg as a way to promote the new America that was formed by the frontier. People fled west in hopes of making it rich whether it be in the workplace, finding land, or striking gold during the gold rush. The west represents the new form of wealth, while the east represents old money"

- The literary theory that is used in this quote connects to is Marxist because of the distinction of how and where people lived during the era of the 'Roaring 20s' and how Fitzgerald incorporated that exact knowledge into his book and how you can really understand the difference in how a person is between the old and new money in Gatsby and Tom. He used exact history and just in a way twisted it into his own world and really focused on the exaggeration of money and how they each use it and how there comfortable to really process it all.

In Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre," many have seen it as feminist novel due to Jane's character. For example, from the Journal of Sichuan International Studies University, "The image of Jane Eyre embodies the thought of androgyny, which does play a role of dissolving the patriarchal system (andro-centric or male-dominating system). Jane Eyre, though possessing the feminine characteristics such as tenderness and obedience, displays more masculine characters such as activeness, toughness, and braveness. This image can encourage women to stand up, to strive for equality, freedom and an independent life, and to realize their subjectiveness by living a more active life." Because this novel was written in the 19th century, many women were not portrayed as headstrong as Jane is in her novel. Through Bronte's novel, she encouraged and inspired women to be independent and have opinions.

The flimsy social world represented by the Dursley family is crashing down, and we see a more appealing world of power and charisma emerging as an alternative. What is also interesting about the opposition between Muggles and wizards is that the Dursleys are aware of the two worlds the whole time. Their denial is intriguing because it suggests that normal people repress difficult or potentially embarrassing facts in order to make their lives seem more normal”. The psychological theory is relevant here because the Dursley household attempts to conceal the fact that a wizard lives there. Harry is to abstain from magic because it’s taboo in “muggle” culture, and the Dursleys do not want to affiliate with wizards. This is often how real people deal with their issues; they simply act as though said issues don’t exist. That solution hardly ever works, and certainly does not here.

This article correlates with my book as a whole as well as my literary theory concepts.

This article indicates that, "Eleanor Lance is an interesting character to examine. She is submissive yet stubborn, imprisoned by her femininity yet breaking away from it.

Devices:
Metaphor- Bentley Drummle is being called a hot head since the author is using a metaphor to compare him to "A book as if its writer had done him an injury." So this metaphor tells us of his demeanor and helps the reader characterize him.

Diction:
The strong diction used by Dickens displays a sense of admiration and poise when talking about Startop's mother. Yet when he's describing Drummle, the reader can quickly notice that he isn't to be liked. "He was idle, proud, n__, reserved, and suspicious. He came of rich people down in Somersetshire, who had nursed this combination of qualities until they made the discovery that it was just of age and a blockhead."

Details:
The details on this page coincide with the imagery used by Dickens. They're mainly used to describe Drummle's physical appearance and how he was raised.]]> 2020-02-19 21:16:46 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/447734648 Devices, Diction, and Details -Lord of the Flies by William Golding spizana0429 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/447792068 Devices: The conch symbolizes democracy for the group of children stranded on the island because it represents the ability to talk about rational ideas to their civilization. Through this symbol, the author constructs authority of the adult world in the upcoming society.

Diction: The phrase on page 71, “the wails of agreement from some of the hunters, drove Jack to violence. The bolting look came into his eyes...his voice was vicious with humiliation.”, used to identify the frustration of Jack conveys the disagreement between the boys in the sense that there are tensions of ideologies. This picturesque diction is significant because it unravels an uneasy mood upcoming between the two groups.

Details: The detail on page 75, “Then Maurice pretended to be the pig and ran squealing into the center, and the hunters, circling still, pretended to beat him. As they danced, they sang. ‘Kill the pig.’”, supports the message that the island was psychologically impacting the children since they were celebrating a viscous hunt without adult supervision. Golding wants the reader to see the ignorant and savage turn of the boys so that foreshadowing can be used to perceive upcoming conflicts.

The idea of the beast emphasizes the panic the boys experience from being stranded on a strange island, having no clue the dangers that await. Through this heightened image, the reader sees the beast as the main conflict in the story.

Diction: The phrase on page 138, “ At last Simon gave up and looked back; saw the white teeth and dim eyes, the blood- and his gaze was held by that ancient, inescapable recognition,” used to describe the dead pig head conveys the loss of innocence the group of boys had just experienced in that they have turned into savages. This is significant because the “inescapable recognition” shows that Simon has realized the evil the boys have in them from killing an innocent creature.

Details: The detail of the conch that the group of boys praise and use as a way to speak conveys power within the island. Through the conch, the idea of democracy is expressed, allowing one person to talk with the conch in possession, in this case Ralph. Golding wishes for the reader to view the conch as a majestic symbolism for unity and obedience, like one praises upon.]]> 2020-02-20 00:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/447799189 Animal Farm by George Orwell- Literary theory #2 isenquiz8670 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/447869783 Though it was obvious that the story of Animal Farm could be applied to the Marxist theory, after further reading I realized that it also can be interpreted using the Archetypal literary theory. During my reading and using the Marxist theory I already applied, I realized that the story represents the rise of the Soviet Union and Stalin's communist Russia. To further my newly-found theory, I did some research and found that it truly is a story that represents the retelling of the rise and fall of the Soviet Union.

A device that was used was symbolism in order to show what a father really is and what it means to be one. Moreover, being a father is looked down upon in this caste system and is unwanted due to breaking the law of the system. This brings the sad truth that the system is morally wrong and that there must be an end to the dehumanization and to give humans the chance to experience what having a birth of their own kid is like. (Page 140)
Diction: Color Blue
This highlighted part shows what it means for a son to connect to his father and how truly important it is for a kid to have one. The placement of the actions taken place gives the reader a better emotional understanding of what it meant for a son to finally connect with his father in this dehumanizing system they are surrounded by. (Page 140)
Imagery: Color Yellow
The imagery highlighted below reveals the shocking event of a mother finally telling the father about the baby they made. Each detail of the physical appearance of both the mother and father serve to show how awkward it may be and how shocking it is to find out about such an surprise. It is even more disappointing that this system has taken away the opportunity to have moments like these leaving yet another negative impact coming from this " Intelligent System." Page 140

Lastly, the theme that is being brought out through these devices and this page is that everyone should get to experience what they would like to in life and these rights should not be taken from them in any type of world, no matter the circumstances.

(236) During this part, Jude has just discovered Oscar, her love interest, with another woman. The simile of her being trapped and the somber tone show how Jude feels scared and sad all at once.

Diction- During parts of the book, Nelson uses variations of diction to connect Jude with her late Grandma. " If a boy gives a girl an orange, her love for him will multiply." (page 178) Jude explains pages of her grandmother's 'bible' to explain her reasons for carrying onions in her pocket or why she refuses to take an orange from Oscar. Jude's actions with the 'bible' help keep her connection to her grandmother by listening to her grandma's obscene actions.

Detail- Detail is used to describe Jude's and Noah's love interests throughout each chapter. "... he's too hot. Way too hot... [he] leans against a wall like James Dean...and has that accent and those different-color eyes." (page 211) This detail helps explain why Jude feels a certain way towards Oscar, eventhcugh she has sworn off boys due to her mother's passing.

The image of the quote,...Hassan to the mud shack where he was born,where He'd lived his entire life. "I remember it was spare, clean , dimly lit a pair of kerosene lamps." depicts a visual sense of poverty because the reader sees that Hassan lives in a small shack that has nothing of value. This is significant because it shows how different the 2 main characters live , one in poverty and one lives very wealthy, this is to show how race and religion can impact peoples lives.
Diction- Hosseini uses diction such as adjectives to enhance the text.

The phrase ,"It was that small shack that Hassan's mother , Saunubar, gave birth to him one cold winter day in 1964."]]> 2020-02-21 19:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/448787520 A Separate Peace by John Knowles Padlet 4 gcabrera8603 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/448858009
Device: “He forced compliance by leaning against me as we walked along, changing my direction; like a police car squeezing me to the side of the road,”
Finny is compared to a police car in this simile. This is fitting because much like a police car, Finny is controlling and had a loud and demanding presence. This is significant because it relates back to the use of the psychological theory in which underlying factors in Finny’s life have caused him to act a certain way. Subconsciously, Finny feels that if he is not heard then he is weak and will not get the attention he craves. This causes him to force the people around him to comply thus resulting in making Gene follow where he wanted to go.

Diction: “He could also shine at many other things, with people for instance, the others in a dormitory, the faculty; in fact, if you stop to think about it, Finny could shine with everyone, he attracted everyone he met.”
The use of the repeated word “shine” used to describe how Finny interacted with people conveys that he craves attention since “shine” is associated with a large impact and power. This is significant because it shows that Finny not only wanted attention from others but successfully succeeded in attaining it in a big way. This supports the psychological theory that something in Finny’s past is causing him to seek affection and attention from others to supplement something that has happened to him. Furthermore, Finny has been in a mindset of attracting people to him for so long, that it’s now second nature to him and something he excels at, thus justifying the use of the word “shine”.

Details: “This time he wasn’t going to get away with it. I could feel myself becoming unexpectedly excited at that.”
The detail of Gene becoming excited at the fact that Finny is getting in trouble conveys Gene’s underlying resentment towards Finny since he is happy that his friend is about to be punished. The author wants the reader to see the true dynamic of Gene and Finny’s friendship to reveal that Finny’s actions have led his best friend to become subconsciously hostile towards him. This shows Gene’s subconscious emotions that he chooses to ignore because he doesn’t want to go outside of his comfort zone to tell Finny his true feelings. This supports the psychological theory since this small detail reveals what Gene’s ego suppresses on a daily basis. ]]> 2020-02-21 21:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/448858009 Devices, Diction, and Details in "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn snorman7780 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/448897197 Diction:

The phrase “There's a difference between really loving someone and loving the idea of her.” is used to identify Amy and Nicks interactions through Go’s view conveys obvious loathing and blind knowledge of Amy and Nicks relationship because she is trying to show that Nick may only love the concept of a girlfriend and wife but doesn't literally have love her. This is significant because, stated previously in the novel, that Go and Amy have never been fond of each other and very territorial, meaning that Go could just be saying this, and most likely does, just so Nick will feel reluctant to continue his relationship and have skepticism of his own free willing thoughts.

Detail:

The details of the bar’s smell, views, and sounds by Nick's recollection on the day of conveys his familiarity and awareness for his place of employment because he wants to show his day in the most vivid and lucid way for further importance. The author wants the reader to see that detail is extremely important so that the reader knows to pay attention to all the slight details that most would not see as meaningful yet are very crucial in his novel.

Devices:

In Gone Girl, the author incorporates many similes, as in, “I'll hold myself to him like a climbing, coiling vine until I have invaded every part of him and made him mine.”Nick uses this simile to describe the way he visualizes that Amy's brain functions. The simile of her thoughts resembling centipedes suggests her intelligence, “fast” and “frantic” gives us imagery of speed. Centipedes are not appealing creatures, and usually treated poorly and hide in fear of death. Amy's dark thoughts also have to be hidden away because people would be disgusted if they knew what really went on inside her head.

"The house was low, was once white with a deep front porch and green shutters, but had long ago darkened to the color of the slate grey yard around it." (pg 8). In this quote Lee is using imagery to describe the Radley's house. This is important because it allows the reader to get an idea to why people don't associate with the Radley's family.

Diction:
"When Miss Caroline tells him to wash his hair with lye soap, he responds, "What fer, missus?" (pg. 27). The phrase "What fer, missus" helps to reveals the educational gap and background of the characters. The word choice used by Lee is to help show the time period when the story is taking place and the relationship between the adults and children.

Detail:
"The Radley place jutted into a sharp curve beyond our house. Walking south, one faced its porch, the sidewalk turned and ran beside the lot. The house was low, was once white with a deep front porch and green shutters, but had long ago darkened to the color of the slate grey yard around it. Rain rotted shingles drooped over the eaves of the veranda; oak trees kept the sun away. The remains of a picket drunkenly guarded the front yard, a 'swept' yard that was never swept where Johnson grass and rabbit tobacco grew in abundance." (pg 9). The details of the view and description of Radley's house helps to show the streets concern with the house.

The Imagery provided during the time of the crime allows the reader to know every little thing that was happening, down to the water running. Hercule Poirot can hear footsteps, ringing, and movement, all of which will be important in the future events of the book.

Christie uses words to add a sort of charm to the characters. By adding words like "Insistent" and "voluble" to describe Mrs. Hubbard the reader can see her as obnoxious. The main character, Poirot, can also see this. By using the words "apologetic," "hot," and "worried" to describe the conductor we can understand that he is a timid fellow and is probably use to this banter.]]> 2020-02-22 02:52:16 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/448917420 Devices, Diction, and Details in The Great Gatsby by F.

* "If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life, as if he were related to one of those intricate machines that register earthquakes ten thousand miles away" (page 2)
- In this quote Nick Carraway is describing Gatsby for the very first time in which he is indicating that many people fancy Gatsby as "gorgeous" because of his energy of being successful and is really responsive as to what others desire thus comparing Gatsby to a machine that registers earthquakes because they share the same characteristics of measuring hope with great sensitivity. This being significant because they both posses and extraordinary gift for hope.
Diction :
* "Gatsby got himself into a shadow and, while Daisy and I talked, looked conscientiously from one to the other of us with tense, unhappy eyes". (page 87)
- This phrase is used to identify Gatsby's feeling at that moment between him and Daisy which conveys the tone of awkwardness. The use of the word "shadows" helps convey a feeling of discomfort between them as well as using "tense" and "unhappy" conveying that Gatsby is feeling regrets from the situation and is displeased with how him and Daisy are towards one another.
Detail :
* "In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. "Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had." (page 1)
- In this detail that Nick Carraway presents to us in the beginning serves to bring the reader into the point of view of the book by it being Nick because we get to see the development of Gatsby from being a big time partier to being struck on love and Nick carries us through the whole book by giving his view on it all and by in a way telling us to trust his judgement.

-"It was a monstrous big river down there -- sometimes a mile and a half wide; we run nights, and laid up and hid daytimes; soon as night was most gone we stopped navigating and tied up -- nearly always in the dead water under a towhead; and then cut young cottonwoods and willows, and hid the raft with them. Then we set out the lines. Next we slid into the river and had a swim, so as to freshen up and cool off; then we set down on the sandy bottom where the water was about knee deep, and watched the daylight come. Not a sound anywheres -- perfectly still -- just like the whole world was asleep, only sometimes the bullfrogs a-cluttering, maybe."(Twain, Page 176)
-This use of imagery by Twain about the river tells the reader how much Jim and Huck are at peace now that they know they are finally free from all the troubles back at home. We can also see that Huck and Jim are relaxed in their environment compared to the beginning of the story when Jim was still being enslaved, and Huck being a part of an abusive home.

Diction:
-"We slept most all day, and started out at night, a little ways behind a monstrous long raft that was as long going by as a procession. She had four long sweeps at each end, so we judged she carried as many as thirty men, likely. She had five big wigwams aboard, wide apart, and an open camp fire in the middle, and a tall flag pole at each end. There was a power of style about her. It amounted to something being a raftsmen on such a craft as that."(Twain, Page 132)
-This situation being described by Twain is in a strained and weak tone. After experiencing the fog, Huck and Jim experienced hardship during that time as fought for the first time, and Huck ultimately feeling tired and remoreseful, feeling comfortable as the river calms down.

Details:
-"But by-and-by pap got too handy with his hick'ry, and I couldn't stand it. I was all over welts. He got to going away so much, too, and locking me in. Once he locked me in and was gone three days. It was dreadful lonesome."(Twain, Page 40)
- In this detail, Huck is giving the audience a glimpse of his life living with his father. Huck explains that he is always neglected by his father and shows his fustration with tone words such as "hick'ry", "dreadful", and "lonesome" with Pap's neglegence towards him.

By forming the dialogue as a string of phrases and repetition, this emphasizes the theme of inequality and wealth throughout the book, and that Jane will never be up to status due to her lack of money. - Syntax

The phrase "the mood of the revolted slave" used to describe Jane's feelings after being ridiculed for her previous behavior conveys that Jane also sees herself as hotheaded and against the ways she must live her life. This is significant because it relates to the theme of sticking up for yourself and feminist ideals that Bronte puts throughout the book. - Diction

The image of "glittering eyes of fear" in Mr.Reed's dead body depicts an eerie environment as his eyes are full of life, even though he has been dead for nine years. The reader can picture the haunting eyes in their head, causing him or her to have fear, and maybe even suspicion of the true state of Mr.Reed. This picture can even be seen as foreshadowing for later events that will occur. - Imagery]]> 2020-02-22 04:34:29 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/448930668 Devices, Diction, and Details in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone sforey0040 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/448931531 Devices (repetition): In the novel, Voldemort is hardly mentioned by name, but instead referenced by phrases such as “he-who-must-not-be-named” and “you-know-who”. Rowling frequently repeats these phrases to emphasize the lasting impact his actions have left on society.

Diction: “‘What sort of magic do you teach, Professor Quirrell?’ ‘D-Defense Against the D-D-Dark Arts,’ muttered Professor Quirrell, as though he’d rather not think about it. ‘N-not that you n-need it, eh, P-P-Potter?’ He laughed nervously”(page 70). The Professor is characterized as an uneasy individual who’s constantly on edge. The author’s use of stuttering in his speech further cements the reader’s idea of this character.

Detail: “‘Nobody in my family’s magic at all, it was ever such a surprise when I got my letter, but I was ever so pleased, of course, I mean, it’s the very best school of witchcraft there is, I’ve heard-I’ve learned all our course books by heart, of course, I just hope it will be enough- I’m Hermione Granger, by the way, who are you?’ She said all this very fast”(page 106).

The author writes, "They couldn't tell one black face from another." By using this, it exaggerates how much the police don't care because they probably could tell black people from each other, they just didn't try or want to do so.

Diction: There is strong diction expressed by Gyasi when she writes, "He loved the look of those boats, loved that his hands helped build and maintain them, but Ma Aku always said it was bad juju, him and all the other freed Negroes working on ships." This diction makes the reader feel like there is a conflict with Jo and the way he was brought up. Jo just wants to have a sense of worth and like he is a part of something big. However, he is building boats in the book for the wrong thing.

Details: Details are crucial in this chapter when learning about how Kojo's life is working for the white people. In the book, it states, "But still, whenever a boat was robbed, all the black dockworkers were rounded up and questioned." These little details help the reader understand the struggles of the life he's living. It gives vivid imagery that even though they are freed, the discrimination is still heavily existing.

The image of the quote, “...Hassan to the mud shack where he was born,where He'd lived his entire life. I remember it was spare, clean , dimly lit a pair of kerosene lamps." depicts a visual sense of poverty because the reader sees that Hassan lives in a small shack that has nothing of value. This is significant because it shows how different the 2 main characters live , one in poverty and one lives very wealthy, this is to show how race and religion can impact peoples lives.

Diction- Hosseini uses diction such as adjectives to enhance the text.

The phrase ,"It was that small shack that Hassan's mother , Saunubar, gave birth to him one cold winter day in 1964." used to describe the economic situation of Hassan at birth conveys that he is very poor since he is born in specifically a small shack in the cold. This is significant because it highlights the extreme poverty that Hassan was born into , not only was he born in a shack but a small one at that.

Detail- Hosseini uses detail to enhance the text.

The detail of Amir saying if he couldn't decide whether he wanted to hug his father or leap from mortal fear conveys his lack of understanding of his fathers’ emotions because he didn't know how to react to his fathers’ actions and displays of affection. The author wants the reader to see that there is a lack of affection between Amir and his father because it shapes how Amir’s personality it.

“It struck me then that I was injuring him again. It occurred to me that this could be an even deeper injury than what I had done before. I would have to back out of it, I would have to disown it.”

In this quote, Gene attempts to confess his role in Finny’s fall, but Finny refuses to believe him. Finny is in an extreme state of denial and is unable to even fathom the possibility that his best friend purposefully hurt him. It is already hard enough for Finny to grieve the effects of his injury, but he is completely blinded by his own ego to realize that this was Gene’s fault. Gene, who had built up resentment towards Finny with no outlet, begins to realize the truth behind his actions. All the emotions that Gene’s ego and conscious had been suppressing for so all eventually accumulated to the point where Gene broke. This caused him to purposefully push Finny which led him to his fall. However, when trying to admit this, as soon as Finny turns down the thought Gene immediately lets himself off the hook by “Disowning” his action. This allows Gene’s conscious to be guilt free while also relinquishing any responsibility that he had put on himself. Although, this causes Finny to search for someone to place blame on to try and avoid the fact that he must take ownership of his actions and deal with the consequences. Overall, the psychological theory shows that both Finny and Gene avoid emotions and thoughts that make them uncomfortable or doubt their friendship. ]]> 2020-02-25 02:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/449884271 I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson (padlet #5) croman9931 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/450170356 Psychological theory-

In We Are Called to Rise, Laura McBride uses devices such as Imagery. "Lacey's head was silhouetted against the black lines of the window frame and the sunny panes of glass." The image of Lacey at the coffee shop with Roberta on page 201 depicts a sense of contrast because the reader sees the chaos with the children in the "black lines" and envisions a future sense of peace with the situation in "the sunny panes of glass." This is significant because it sets the mood for what is to come next.

The stores and houses was most all old shackly dried-up frame concerns that hadn't ever been painted; they was set up three or four foot above ground on stilts, so as to be out of reach of the water when the river was overflowed.

The fences was made of different kinds of boards, nailed on at different times; and they leaned every which way, and had gates that didn't generally have but one hinge-a leather one. Some of the fences had been whitewashed, some time or another, but the duke said it was in Clumbus's time, like enough. There was generly hogs in the garden, and people driving them out."(Twain, Pg. 207-208) This quote displays Marxist theory because the town is in a poor condition and it is interpreted that the town is not well run by the people, more so due to pure laziness from the citizens of the town.]]> 2020-02-26 22:32:47 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/451089321 inkheart padlet one ewalley3595 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/451104113 The Archetypal theory Hero/Quest applies to inkheart proven by the quote "The rain cast a kind of pallor on the darkness , and the stranger was little more than a shadow" This proves the hero quest theory by setting the plot up with obvious foreshadowing of a quest from the perspective of the main character meggie.

The irrational fear of the beast soon causes the boys to turn their decency into savagery. As seen on page 100, “We’ve seen the beast with our own eyes. No-we weren’t asleep-... This'll be a real hunt! Who’ll come?”, it is seen that the fear of an evil unknown rampaged an expedition to find the monster.

Christie uses stereotypes that are often seen in the world, from Americans being obnoxious ( "We've got to apply our Western ideals and teach the East to recognize them [said by an elderly American lady. Basically, imperialism] " page 27 ), to the British being reserved and unemotional ("...neat Englishman had the expressionless disapproving face of the well-trained servant" page 25).

The Theory that is applied throughout the story is the Marxist theory. The main character Amir and Hassan are constantly being treated different due to their socioecomic statuses. Hassan is constantly treated badly because he is a Hazara, a race that is descriminized to be inferior to other races and that is seen through the history and chain of poverty of all the Hazras in the story.

Diction: The phrase on page 185, “Maybe it was my conscience, scratching back to the surface from its secret oubliette,” represents the feeling of Nick's uneasiness of not figuring out the clue his wife had left him. The worried diction comes out more through the middle of the novel as Nick figures out more clues left, and what his wifes plans were.

Marxist Theory:
Throughout the entire novel, the Marxist theory is applied and is obviously shown or portrayed through this quote. It is most certainly unjust to take away one's freedom without any wrongdoing.

The socioeconomic system will indeed balance itself out without putting force on one's life.

But there were only a few men in her village, and none of them wanted to take a chance with Unlucky's daughter." This quote is explaining how the character will not be chosen by the men in the village because of what her father is known for. It makes her feel like she is only known for what her father is, and nothing else more. It tells us how the men have more power over the women because they decide the future of women, by choosing to marry certain women.

Rowling employs the Marxist theory here by demonstrating favoritism to one student over the others. While possession of a broomstick is typically forbidden to first years, the rules are bent for Harry, and only for him. Due to his status, Potter is given preferential treatment that no other student would receive.

Even their mother pitches in, saying that Darcy thought Elizabeth to be "rather pretty". In order her to feel bad about herself and the situation that she had been put into. During this Elizabeth is also getting to see the other side of Darcy and seeing that there is more to him then just his status and big houses, that there is more that meets the eye.

They believe that Jack represents the id, or the part of our personality concerned with meeting our primal needs. They believe that Ralph represents the ego, or the part of the personality concerned with satisfying the needs of the id while still adhering to societal norms. Finally, many believe that Simon and Piggy represent the superego, or that part of the personality associated with moral judgement."

This quote from a journal by Jennifer Mallett Smith relates a popular psychological theory by Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud to the most dominant characters in the story. In Lord of The Flies, the main characters (Jack, Ralph, Simon & Piggy) often clash personalities because of how distinct their traits are. In the boys’ newly formed hierarchy on the empty island, each of them fulfill a specific role. Although dysfunctional, their personalities can be seen as puzzle pieces because of how well they work off of each other in the story. To have the Id (Jack) you must have the Ego (Ralph) etc. Each character has a unique role in the development of other characters.

As the boys begin to panic on the island at the thought of a beast, Simon goes against the boys’ logic and admits that he doesn’t believe in a physical beast, but instead the "beast" is in all of them. Simon is referring to the savage mentality they’ve acquired in their time on the island and how detrimental it’s been to them. Simon realizes that they’ve been more harm to themselves psychologically than a beast could ever be to them and it’s themselves that they should really be afraid of.
This example greatly represents psychological theory.

Like I have previously stated before, Jack and Ralph are complete opposites, meaning two different classes, the working and the ruling, opening conflict between the two. For example, on page 181, Jack goes berserk on Ralph, screaming “ See? See? That’s what you’ll get! I meant that! There isn’t a tribe for you any more! The conch is gone- I’m chief!” From this, we can take away Jack’s anger and hunger for power. Ralph is seen as innocent but is taken away from the leadership as the conch is now not in his possession. Now the tribe belongs to Jack, as the working class overthrows the elite, causing chaos and death.

When rivalries between Jack and Ralph occur over the conch and Piggy’s glasses, which are used to start a fire for rescue, the groups turn savage. As the two are fighting, a third party pushes a boulder off the mountainside towards Ralph and Piggy. On page 181, “Piggy fell forty feet and landed on his back across the square red rock in the sea...the body of Piggy was gone.”, it is shown that Piggy was murdered by the vicious tribe of Jack. This pertains to the psychological theory because the death of Piggy, a civilized boy, represents the disruption of order and the community. The boys had lost their innocence in a sense that they had created a horrific mentality that they didn’t want to be rescued anymore. ]]> 2020-03-03 00:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/453350423 literary theory #2 Frankenstein by Mary Shelley jdeleon1997 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/453371836 In the novel Frankenstein, it is quickly made known that the gender (feminist) theory is implied following the introduction of the main characters.

I felt better. Yes, I sensed it like the sweat of relief when nausea passes away; I felt better. We were even after all, even in enmity. The deadly rivalry was on both sides after all.” Pg. 45

This quote shows how Gene is slowly becoming aware of his resentment and jealousy towards Finny. Finny is all around a better athlete than Gene which had become apparent during their time at the academy which further began to fuel Gene’s subconscious envy towards Finny. This applies well to the psychological theory because Gene develops his own coping method to deal with his resentment. He allows himself to believe that Finny is equally as envious of his own academic skills I order to justify his feelings. This rivalry that Gene has in his mind maintains his level of sanity for a long time which lets him not be shameful about his feelings toward his friend. Gene’s superego maintains these actions for a while and his ego enables him to hide his true emotions from his friend. However, this subconscious rivalry that Gene imagines also causes him to push himself extremely hard in spite of Finny just to prove something to himself. Once Gene realizes that Finny doesn’t share the same competitiveness or envy he becomes even more bitter towards Finny. This eventually leads to the cause of the entire fall incident that follows Gene’s realization. ]]> 2020-03-03 20:45:49 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/453954001 Devices , Diction, Details.

Throughout the novel, there are moments where the Huck feels like he's going against society and his battling against himself at times. "Huck experiences guilt and shame at various points throughout the novel, and these feelings force him into serious questions about morality".
https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/huckfinn/themes/
The blend between Marxist and Psychological Criticism creates a deep connection between the reader and the characters. The reader is able to see what kind of world the characters live in and pick out certain events they can relate to in their lives. Along with the conflicts between the characters own beliefs and morals. The reader is able to see the change in the characters thoughts and emotions. I think Mark Twain did a good job blending these two theories together. ]]> 2020-03-04 05:50:05 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/454137921 Padlet #4 Devices, Diction, Detail: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn-Mark Twain vvillalobos5371 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/454143144 Devices-Imagery:
"The Widow Douglas, she took me for her son, and allowed she would sivilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and so when I couldn't stand it no longer, I lit out." (Chapter 1). In this quote I am able to see Huck getting frustrated with the fact of being inside all day. Its funny because now a days, most teenagers just want to stay in side and never go out.

Diction:
"Jim said it made him all over trembly and feverish to be so close to freedom. Well I can tell you it made me all over trembly and feverish, too, to hear because I begun to get it through my head that he was most free-and who was to blame for it? Why, me." (Chapter 16). I love the words "trembly" and "feverish" because those are those are the exact feeling a person feels whenever they are excited or anxious.

Detail:
"I was sorry for them poor pitiful rascals, it seems like I couldn't ever fell any hardness against them any more in the world. It was a dreadful thing to see. Human beings can be awful cruel to one another." (Chapter 33). Throughout the novel and the adventure Huck has been, he's come to realize how cruel the world is. He sees the way people treat each other and is discussed by it. He's learned what it means to be respectful and treat people equally.

During my reading, using the Marxist theory I already applied, I realized that the story represents the rise of the Soviet Union and Stalin's communist Russia. To further my newly-found theory, I conducted research and found that it truly is a story that represents the retelling of the rise and fall of the Soviet Union. Orwell brilliantly uses allusions and characterization to do so. According to the quote, "Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland, Beasts of every land and clime, Hearken to my joyful tiding Of the golden future time." (Orwell Ch. 1 Pg. 9) is a revolutionary song sung by Old Major, the previous leader of the animals, right before the rise of the animals. The evidence alludes to Shelly’s, Men of England, and the socialist anthem, The Internationale. Throughout this allegorical novel, Orwell incorporates these allusions in order to allow readers of all ages to interpret this story and connect it to the history of the Soviet Union. In addition, Orwell creates the characters to symbolize individuals of great influence towards the Soviet revolution. For example, Snowball is one of the pigs, but he wishes to further animal with technological advances. Orwell uses the character elements of Snowball to symbolize Leon Trotsky, a refined communist leader who was chased out by the secret police. Coincidentally, Snowball was driven away by Napoleon’s secret police. Orwell’s use of these literary devices bring him to successfully execute not only his own telling of the Soviet Union, but directly relate to it. This proves that the Archetypal literary theory applies to this novel.]]> 2020-03-04 16:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/454482408 Informational Text- Animal Farm isenquiz8670 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/454484924 After further research, I came across an academic journal written by scholar Elaheh Fadaee. In her journal, she conducts a case study on the paradigms and symbols within Animal Farm. Fadaee analyzes the characters and their interpretation in communist Russia. For example, the journal states, “‘Animal Farm’, chapter 1: (…Broad-minded characters of ‘Animal Farm’ are Major, Napoleon, Snowball and Squealer….): Before the revolution, broad-minded figures, such as journalists, educators, and clergies leave off supporting regime and want to have some basic reformations.” ( Fadaee Pg 23 “Practical Sight”). This evidence explains that the four characters listed are meant to symbolize individuals that shifted allegiance from the regime of Russia to the communist revolution. She also adds direct descriptions of characters to their historical counterparts such as Old Major to Lenin, Snowball to Stalin, Boxer to chinese revolutionists who were slaughtered, and so on forth. This proves that my secondary source supports my criticism of this novel with the Archetypal literary theory.

The prologue of The Alchemist introduces readers to the theme of selfishness that weaves through the entire novel. This version of Narcissus includes a follow-up to the original myth:

“I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus was beautiful. I weep because, each time

he knelt beside my banks, I could see, in the depths of his eyes, my own beauty reflected.”

It is possible Paulo Coelho included the adaptation of the lake crying for the loss of seeing its own

beauty rather than that of Narcissus to encourage readers to begin analyzing the notion of selfishness and to keep the concept in mind while reading the novel."

The source makes valid points following Santiagos dreams of traveling the world. They make similar connections to me in that we both agree that its good to not follow the crowd sometimes.

It may seem like a pattern that envokes deep emotion of Humbert and the readers, his beliefs are vile and immoral and feelings towards "nymphets" but this only draws the reader in. Going into intricate detail about his past creates sympathy for his actions. “I loved you. I was a pentapod monster, but I loved you.

He is an english scholar and uses that as a hierarchary throughout the novel to prove himself over others such as Americans with his language skills. In a journal it says many theorist see Lolita as a sattire or etc. when Nobokov clearly states it is not, as well as the theories present. "As explained above, Lolita effectively parodies just about every single aspect of a traditional novel, which has been one of the primary reasons for literary critics to deem it a chief example of deconstruction"..."the strongest associations given to Lolita over the years has been its status as a work of deconstruction, a strong theory of philosophical criticism that, in layman’s terms, involves “a philosophical or critical method which asserts that meanings, metaphysical constructs, and hierarchical oppositions (as between key terms in a philosophical or literary work) are always rendered unstable by their dependence on ultimately arbitrary signifiers”. As Sam Lloyd the author breaks down the just theories upon Lolita and said controversy, he states the facts of much deconstruction within the text. What you wont read over first glance at the novel is that in and of itself it creates its own structure of insanity one might say. Humbert Humberts life is not typical his actions in fact are not, but ends up coming together as "it should" with and without Lolita present, and the database just proves so. This connects as the novel is not for Humbert Humbert his personal gain but about Humbert and manipulation and togetherness.

”Sometimes we get sad about things and we don't like to tell other people that we are sad about them. We like to keep it a secret. Or sometimes, we are sad but we really don't know why we are sad, so we say we aren't sad but we really are.“ (ch.109, Pg.75)
It is something that Siobhan says to Christopher because she is not sure of how he is really processing this new piece of information that he found out about his mother. She mistakenly thinks that he is hiding his true feelings about this news and she is trying to explain how he may be feeling about this new revelation. (She really should listen to him; he's told her countless times that he is incapable of telling a lie.) This connects with the real world because a lot of individuals struggle with depression and a lot of the times no one even knows because people get good at putting up a front for everyone to see. ]]> 2020-03-07 02:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/456135583 Literary Theory #4 - The Great Gatsby by F.

Scott Fitzgerald he portrays the use of Marxist theory throughout the whole novel to show a distinction of class and the importance of money to those who had lots of it. On page 191 it states "They were careless people, Tom and Daisy they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made..." By this quote you can see that both Tom and Daisy were egotistical they cared for no one but their money. After the whole situation with the death they ran off with their money and begun a new life not caring for anyone or thing. Daisy who knew that she had killed myrtle never came out to tell the truth she let Gatsby take all the blame for her actions. Tom who only wanted revenge on Gatsby allowed him to take the fall as well. Tom and Daisy are a classic case of wealthy couples who will do anything to protect themselves only. The elite living the two had led, made them incompetent of accepting responsibility for their actions. No matter how much Daisy loved Gatsby she was willing to abandon it to run away from her responsibilities.]]> 2020-03-07 02:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/456136653 Padlet #6 Literary Theory: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn-Mark Twain vvillalobos5371 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/456139757 There are many theories that can be pulled from this novel, but I think Mark Twain has add so many points and events that tend to lead more towards Psychological Criticism. Not only do we see the characters face throughout the novel, but as a reader, we are able to see how the characters feel and think. "Jim was thinking about his wife and his children, away up yonder, and he was low and homesick; because he hadn't ever been away from home in his life; and I do believe he cared as much for his people as white folks does for their'n. It don't seem natural, but I reckon it's so." I feel like this is a very important moment in the book because it shows how people dehumanize African Americans. It's sad to people back then would see and treat blacks like their animals and had no feelings or emotions. But in the moment of the novel, Huck realizes that African Americans or no different than white people. ]]> 2020-03-07 02:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/456139757 Literary theory #4 and padlet #6- Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie :) zzamora5280 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/456144091 Agatha Christie furthers the plot of “Murder on the Orient Express” thorough the use of red herrings (which is when an author or character purposely misleads the reader or main character for you uncultured swine). At the time this book was written it was a common use in books and literature, thus making it a common story theme (A.K.A. archetypal theory;) ). One of the main use of a red herring in this book was the scarlet kimono that made its first appearace the night of the murder, “But to his right some way down the corridor a woman wrapped in a scarlet kimono was retreating from him (part 1 chapter 5)” this appearance seemed of value because of its bizzare timing (right after the murder) but it soon disappeared leaving confusion in Poirots mind. The scarlet kimono only reappears in Poirot's very own luggage days later “He got it down [his bag] and snapped back the lock. Then he sat back on his heels and stared. Neatly folded on the top of the case was a thin scarlet silk kimono embroidered with dragons (part 2 chapter 15).” This kimono seemed rather important because of the bizarre nature surrounding it but in fact it was actually just a taunt used to create confusion in Poirot's mind.]]> 2020-03-07 03:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/456144091 Literary Theory #4: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone sforey0040 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/456147106 “It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts.

In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain states "De bes' way is to let res' easy en let de ole man take his own way. Dey's two angels hoverin' roun' 'bout him. One uv 'em is white en shinny, en 'tother one is black. De white one gits him to go right, a little while, den de black one sail in en bust it all up. A body can't tell, yit, which on gwyne to fetch him at de las'."(Pg. 29, Chap. 4, Twain) In this quote, Huck is listening to Jim who is trying to predict the fate of Huck's father to Huck playfully using a hairball, and while the intentions aren't to be made serious, Jim's prediction shows he cares about the young man knowing he longs for a father who cares for him. ]]> 2020-03-07 04:30:52 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/456155937 Literary Theory #4- Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn mwood9219 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/456157561 In the novel Gone Girl, by Gillian Flynn, Amy tried to defy stereotypes that women couldn’t kill someone being that its, usually, males who commit murder. In this case, Amy was presented with the idea of going back to Nick, her husband, but she needed to make the story believable, so she proceeded to murder her “Captor,” even though he didnt actually kidnap her. On page 500, of Amy’s Night Of The Return, states, “The knife I used on him, and on my bonds, will be nearby on the floor, where I dropped it, dazed, and walked barefoot, carrying nothing out of the house but his keys- to the car, to the gate- and climbed, still slick with his blood, into his vintage Jaguar and returned like some long-lost faithful pet, straight back home to my husband.” In this quote Amy reveals how she set up Desi, her “kidnapper,” and will frame him and how perfect it all is. This uses the Gender/ Feminist theory because Amy is a woman who was seen as a feminine person, though she presents masculine triats of killing someone, which society can limit what a man or woman can do because of social norms. Amy, in the end, shows how she is the dominant character by defying these norms.]]> 2020-03-07 04:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/456157561 Literary theory #4, Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi ddeltoro9841 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/456160041 Yaa Gyasi utilizes the marxist theory in the book Homegoing to show the discrimination in social classes among the black and white characters in the book.

Naw, dem white folks can't stand the sight of you." This part of the book is detailing a scene where H gets thrown in jail for committing a crime he doesn't do, and get punished for no reason other than being black. This creates an impact on him because due to his skin tone, even though he did nothing wrong, he is put in jail. It creates a deeper meaning of discrimination and detailed emphasis on the lives of colored people in that time period. ]]> 2020-03-07 05:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/456160041 Literary Theory #6- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte AAlvarado02 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/456160802 In Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre," many theories can be applied throughout the book, one being marxist theory. While stuck in the red room, Jane remarks, "Yes, Mrs.Reed, to you I owe some fearful pangs of mental suffering. But I ought to forgive you,...you thought you were only uprooting my bad propensities." In this quote, it can be taken in two different ways, in which Jane feels that Mrs.Reed is trying her best, or in which Jane is forgiving Mrs.Reed due to her status and superiority over her. Because Mrs.Reed is rich, Jane may believe that she is trying to change her, just like the upper class "empathizing" with the middle class, even though they live two different lives.

like Ali and most Hazaras had been decided the minute he had been born,

perhaps even the moment he had been conceived in Sanaubar's un-welcoming

womb-after all, what use did a servant have for the written word?" This shows that the Hazaras are so opressed that it results on a lack of education because they are deemed not worthy. This allows for other ethnicities and religions to obtain their education and control the economy to opress the Hazaras more. This allows for a history of opression and exploitation for economic gain, often times making Hazaras servants so that those who are not Hazaras can benefit from their lack of education.

The main character goes through a world full of hate and pain when he commits a horrible crime, murder. However, he is not caught. He continues on through life being mentally haunted by his own thoughts about what he did. The book itself shows us how Crime and Punishment are not always as they seem. For example, punishment does not always have to be physical. In this case it is all mental which is driving Raskolnikov crazy as he continuously fights between the pure and evil parts of society. This really ties into the Marxist theory because of how the economy and entire society is functioning. It is at an all time low which helps portray the struggle the characters in the book are facing.]]> 2020-05-06 22:36:28 UTC https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/556057194 Little Women by Louisa May Alcott jgonzalez4014 https://padlet.com/atillm/INP1st4th/wish/585694299 In Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott, the main character, Jo March, gives us a fine example of gender (feminist) theory.
