The introduction to Literature

Your initial post (min. 250 words; worth 2 points): Choose just one author’s piece we read (unless there is only one author listed for this forum) from the syllabus to which to respond in your single initial post. (Feel free to use the *guide- concepts I provide in each forum for each, as well, if needed). Then, do the following, below. First, start by citing (typing in, verbatim) one short, key quotation from the piece (could just be a short phrase or verse, imagery description or a snippet of dialogue, about 10-15 words at most per quotation) that you find particularly meaningful, striking, and central to the meaning (theme) of the piece, as, you understand it. Name what literary element(s) you think it represents. (For listings, definitions, and examples of literary elements and what they are, see the anthology’s pages on terms for short stories, then later in the term, do the same for poetry and for drama or film when we get to those.) For example, following your quotation, you might say something like “This quotation represents an instance of verbal irony, because we learn later in the piece that this character is actually the kind of person he is saying he despises.”) Next, in this same initial post, use your chosen quotation (above) to help illustrate and lead, now, into your lengthier explanation of what your best understanding of the piece is really about– what problem or issue do you think this piece is really exploring or critiquing–the theme(s)– related to some part of our shared human experience. As you do so, be sure to reference other examples—instances and moments in the piece—that further help illustrate your assertions about the piece’s theme(s).

Assignment

Choose just one author from below whose piece we read (unless there is only one author listed for this forum) from the syllabus to which to respond in your single initial post. (Feel free to use the *guide-concepts I provide below for the one you choose, as well, if needed): First, start by presenting a quotation from the piece, what could just be a short phrase or verse, imagery description or a snippet of dialogue, about 10-15 words at most per quotation; type it right into your post surrounded by quotation marks as your first move, there; no full Works Cited citation at the end necessary for these posts, as class discussions, but do cite the quotation within your reply right after it, like this, per MLA: The author writes, “They said she died…of joy that kills” (Chopin 145). Be sure you pick a key quotation you find particularly meaningful, striking, and central to the meaning (theme) of the piece, as you understand it. Secondly, name what literary element(s) you think it represents. (For listings, definitions, and examples of literary elements and what they are, see the anthology’s pages on terms for short stories, then later in the term, do the same for poetry and for drama or film when we get to those.) For example, following your quotation, you might say something like this: This quotation represents an instance of verbal irony, because we learn later in the piece that this character is actually the kind of person he is saying he despises. Finally, use your chosen quotation (above) to help illustrate and lead, now, into your lengthier explanation of what your best understanding of the piece is really about–what problem or issue do you think this piece is really exploring or critiquing, the theme(s)–related to some part of our shared human experience. As you do so, be sure to reference other examples—instances and moments in the piece—that further help illustrate your assertions about the piece’s theme(s).
