unit 2

ELAALRL2 The student identifies, analyzes, and applies knowledge of theme in a work of American literature and provides evidence from the work to support understanding.


my words:


The student should identifies the theme and analyzes whats going on and whats happening in the story and the student should apply the knowledge of knowing what the author is say without him saying it directly.

in the story rip van winkle i found two examples of romanticism. one is that he feel asleep for 20 years. its kind of crazy to sleep for 20years with out waking up.to rip van wrinkle is that he was only sleep for one night but it was 20years. "Rip’s story was soon told, for the whole twenty long years had been lost to him but only one night". This is and example of (Logic to imagination theme). Every change of season, every change of weather, indeed every hour of the day,
produces some change in the magical hues and shapes of these mountains. ( Nature )

imagination- "All that tread the globe are but a handful to the tribes that slumber in its bosom." this is an example because how can a handful of tribes sleep in the earths bosom. you need to use your imagination to think about how many people have died compare to the people alived.it

Nature- "Nature holds communion with her visible forms, she speaks she has a voice of gladness, and a smile and eloquence of beauty." it is making nature look good and peaceful

common people- its say when you die the same thing gone happen to you that will happen to a king ain't nothing gone be different. when you die you are going to decompose and be come soil like everybody Else."Thou shalt lie down , With patriarchs of the infant world--with kings The powerful of the earth--the wise, the good, Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past, All in one mighty sepulchre."

my words

ELAALRL1-I think this standard is good to know because it is helpful to know what you looking for while read if you just reading the words and not taking in the what it say its a waste of time.When knowing the evidence will help you out alot because you know what u looking for.

i used this standard because i had to find evidence in the poem. to look for the themes.

ELAALRL3-this standard explains what you should do when reading a book form a different time period, and how to compare them to now. When reading a book form the old days it great to think about the old time like how they lived and what they did compared to now.

they talked about how life was in rip van winkle life


" NATURE "


5. this story i agree with him, because nature is a nice place to just sit and think. he said nature was a great place to be when you need to get in touch with your inner self, but nature can be bad sometime. it reminds me of my grandma's house in Greene county. when I'm down there i be stress free I don't have to worry bout nothing. her house is in a little city called union point. the city is so claim. like at night i don't hear cars and people yelling, all i hear is bugs and silence. i love being down there. sitting outside just watching time go by is relaxing, but when it rain nature can be boring. i hate being down there when it rains. in the story this stuck out to me " Nature is not always tricked in holiday attire"


6.this is a good piece of transcedentalism, because they Believe god talked to them thur their minds. in this story he feels he is a part of God, beacuse he left society to be alone and think about nature, himself, and God. for example he says " I am part or parcel of God".


Self -Reliance

This story is about a ma telling people to speak their minds. he also told people not to be influence by other do what your mind tell you to do. he said speak your mind. i always speak my mind no matter what if you like it or not, cause if you speak your mind people won't really know how you feel. like a couple years ago me and my friends was hanging together, and one of them wanted to smoke so the others thought it was cool so they was gone smoke too, but i said hell no im not gone smoke with ya'll. yall stupid cause yall gone get hooked. now they all smoke.



6.these is a good example of transcedentalism, beacuse in the story he said be yourself cause if you listen to your mind you are listening to god."A men is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done best." he is saying you should listen to your heart cause its what would make you happy.

" society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members." in the movie Dick left society to get in touch with his interself. he went in to the wild to get his mind back on track with god. he dont want the society to mess up his mind,and he wants to be his own person. for example he built a house cause he thought about staying in the wild. he agrees with the statement cause he left society to depend on his self.
