Yes, I agree with Williams' explanation because a poem is all about how someone interprets it. In the poem, it looks like he did not put in any effort. He wanted the reader to be able to perceive it in different ways. It is exactly the same way that Williams was trying to do with the wheelbarrow, we all know that he is not sorry because he talked about how good the plums were

Do you agree or disagree with Williams' explanation? Why or why not?

Shows that he is being sarcastic, the just means that he does not feel bad about it and that he is acting casual

Does the title "This Is Just to Say" function, in some ways, as the poem's first line? Why or why not? What does the word "just" mean in this context?

Jingo refers to jingoism, which is strong nationalism, very patriotic poem, the final lines refer to blind nationalism so it shows his point on the war, which was that the people were blinded by nationalism and the fact that so many people died

Except for the last line, this poem works much like a dramatic monologue. What can you discern about the situation in which the quoted words are spoken? About the speaker and his or her audience? About the poem's attitude toward the speaker? in next to of course god america i

Consistently considered one of the greatest films of all time Directly influential on some of the most prominent directors of the second half of the 20th century (Spielberg, Scorsese, Hitchcock) The first film by director and star Orson Welles- He was 25! Filmed in 1940 and released in 1941

Facts about citizen kane

A stream of consciousness- shows that he really likes the girl and that he does not know what to do, we get that he likes her because of how he describes it,

How did the use of Stream of Consciousness impact your understanding of the story, and your connection with the main character?

It is very different and it is not like any other poem. The way that the words and letter go, it describes how a leaf falls. The poem does not make any sense if you just read it, you have to look at it and write it out.

How does this poem reflect the Modernist technique of "Experimentation with Form and Style" and pushing the boundaries of the question: What is Art? (la poem)

Calm, not very much emotion

How would you describe the tone of "The Red Wheelbarrow"?

The person is saying that he wants forgiveness, but he is not sorry. He asks in a sarcastic way. He ate the plums but he is not sincere

In "This Is Just to Say," line 9 asks the addressee to "Forgive me." Is this poem meant to be an apology? If so, how sincere is the speaker's regret?

James Joyce

specific people changed, no pattern, joke alot, certain that they and i were both seriously joing about the revolution, It is sad, the british are mocking them,talking about the people that he knows, talking about the more violent part of the revolution, living his normal life--> surprise, they used to live innocently, he is talking that he misses how it used to be, the war changed his friends motley is a mixture--> jester costume he talked about how specific people changed, there is no pattern the woman used to be very rich but she started to fight and she was condemened to death The woman is rich but then she gets involved in the nationalistic cause, her innocence was taken away, her voice grew shrill from all of the fighting and she hurt her voice, it turned her ugly and now he does not liker her all because f her desire for nationalism ,drunk man, who married someone else, Maud Gonne, MacBride wants violence, Macbride is not taken seriously so Yeast realizes that Macbride is serious about the revlolution but is beauty because he helped the odds for independence the stone is independence or the cal for nationalism and the stream is the every day life in the country side(west), which is away from the British occupation , the clouds resemble the people because they are always changing and that they live in the moment and do not focus on the big picture, instead, they are focusing on one thing only, talks about the normal everyday peaceful life of the country side, but it is changing because of the uprising, minut by minute the "stone" is slowly becoming an issue in their lives

Notes of easter 1916

Wrote Dubliners and Araby in 1904 when Joyce was 22 and finished in 1907 Dubliners was not published entirely until 10 years later Rather than viewing it as a simple coherent collection of stories Joyce instead focused on creating a deliberately ordered series of what he called epiclets or mini-epics Unified by the major setting as all 15 stories take place in Dublin Stories divided into 4 groups each connected to a specific phase of Dubliner's life: childhood adolescence mature and public life Araby is the third story in Dubliners and the last of its three stories of childhood and is followed by the first story of adolescence

Point of dubliners by james joyce

It is not a structured poem. It is like a paragraph.

Read the following quote from Williams in response to the question: What makes this [This is Just to Say] a poem? [...] this goes against so many preconceived ideas of the poem, though, because it's the kind of thing that almost anybody might say?

Roberta likes her mom Went to St Bonny's twice 28.5 days at St Bonny's Not proper orphan Illiterate No father figure "Sick mother" Marries wealthy man Bad at school Bus protest Does not know what happened to Maggie? Fan of Jim Hedrix doesn't want to interact with Twyla at the dinner, fans of Jim Hedrix were known as "druggies" She wants to fit in with the "guy" every time we see her, she tries to fit it and make herself seem amazing Bad at school Lives in Annandale with husband 4 kids→ stepchildren The last name is Fisk Mother very religious wears nice stuff and carries a bible Dislikes Twyla's mom

Roberta

When Holden is unaware of what to speak of in a conversation, he s[eals on his surroundings and questions them Ducks, moving to massachusetts Holden talks about death many times throughout the book whether it is his brother's own or a stranger's Death is an inevitable thing that we must all face Holden is always referring back to his brother Allie's death Done by Salinger showing that death sticks with us no matter what and that Holden can't move past it He says he would not want to be buried, but be in a river Odd for age bc thinks about different things

Salinger uses nature to emphasize human natures' natural connection to nature

A lot of things depend on the wheelbarrow, the chickens, water, and the barrow depend on the wheelbarrow, an example of an imaginest poem because all of the words are shaped like a wheelbarrow

The speaker of "The Red Wheelbarrow" tells us immediately that "so much depends upon" the wheelbarrow, but he never actually specifies what exactly that "so much" is. What do you think the speaker means? What is it that "depends" on the wheelbarrow?

camera movement

The visible movement of the camera during a single take

Twyla does not like her mom, is mad at her Twyla is okay with remembering her past Went to St Bonny's once 28 days at St Bonny's Protests for attention Not proper orphan No father figure waitress(diner) "Dancing mother" Mother seems immature Mother's name is Mary, wears green pants And a raggy fur cloak Didn't pick beds Forgot Maggie Only at St. Bonny's, once→ mom either got life together or something good, happened Bad at school One child Husband-James Hates Big Bozo Mom is not religious /dislikes Roberta's mom James was a fireman

Twyla

Early modernist, reluctant modernist, writes like a romantic at first Born in Dublin, ireland but spends most of his life in London Focus shifted from nature/emotions because of Ireland nationalism(1920 they become independent from the UK)

WB Yeats 1865-1939

it means that he is a man with no titile so he is basically a woman in the village, it contributed to okonkwos hatred of him bc unoka is everything that okonkwo hates so okonkwo does not want to be like him

What does it mean when unoka is called an agbals? what is the imapct of this on okonkwo's life?

works in St. Bonny's kitchen, she is mute initially Twyla says that she fell, but Roberta tells her that Twyla pushed her, but then she changes it, I wanted to push her but I didn't, always changes her race, we do not know if Maggie is real, always involves Twyla's memory→ it is subjective

What is the issue with Maggie

She is Okonkwo's second wife and she is the mother of Ezinma

Who is Ekwefi?

He is Okonkwo's eldest son. They have a bad relationship because Okonkwo is disappointed with him and Nwoye does not like him.

Who is Nwoye? what is his relationship with Nwoye?

Because his village killed someone that was in the Umoufia village, so Ikemefuna was given to okonkwo's village as a sign of forgiveness

Why was Ikemefuna taken from his village

Born in New Jersey, farm 1st collection- The Tempers Was a doctor (University of PN Medical School) met Ezra Pound(friends) Went to school in Europe and US Style based on everyday life, normal things lots of imagery

Holden describes the Allie's baseball mitt for Stradlater's essay Says that Allie had the quotes on it Holden remembred facts about Allie while writing it, was unqie and was not like any other redheads,from holden's perspective he was very simple Allie died of Leukemia at 11, remembers moment when Holden played golf that Allie was always there

allie's baseball mitt and stradlater's speech

He sees two people flirting and he does not know how to do that so he is upset, Joyce is trying to portray the transition point from childhood to adolescence, frustration at the end of the story, we see how much of a little kid he is and is walking through the market with his aunt Joyce uses them to help describe the feelings of the character and to help us know what mood they are in.

araby What "moment" is Joyce attempting to have the reader experience along with the narrator? How does this connect to its place as the final story of childhood, immediately followed by the first story of adolescence, in Joyce's Dubliners?

when he saw the twins get thrown in the evil forest

aside from the death of ikemefuna, what other experience made nwoye feel a snapping inside of him

German origin-Bildung=formation Roman=novel ,Holden-already failed out of 3 schools and will be expelled, has no motivation, hates everything about school and does not scrutinize himself Had many lessons to learn from but does not really mature, Phoebe has a positive impact on him, after Holden sees her, he tries in life and applies himself

bildungsroman

This poem reflects the modernist technique of experimentation with form and style by not having any punctuation, and he decided to arrange the letters in a different way to emphasize specific things. He also does not have any correct grammar or capitalization, so he skips around. The poem looked like a river or a fox.

buffalo bill How does this poem reflect the Modernist technique of "Experimentation with Form and Style" and pushing the boundaries of the question: What is Art?

While reading it, the poem was confusing because I was taking it literally. The way that the letters were arranged did not help me understand the poem at all. But, while listening to the poem, I could understand the meaning of the poem. This is because when the poet was talking about death, the poet talked slow, but when he talking about life, the poet talked fast. I think that listening is more effective in understanding the poem's intention because it helps you understand the mood and attitude of the poet. He idolizes Buffalo Bill, and he was a very good marksman, where it said "onetwothreefourfive". There are many references to his anger when he sees Jesus and Mister Death

buffalo bill How does the poem's physical layout, both in the way the lines are broken up and the way the letters are arranged, impact your understanding of the poem? How is this poem's impact different when just listened to, rather than read? Which do you think is more effective in understanding the poem's intention?

Important bc he shows that Holden never learned how to cope with his death or any other emotional probems (pg. 43) Holden glorifies Allie bc he was unique and it helps us see how the death formed Holden's views on other people Either runs away and blames on other people, or he punches a window Passins shows that Holden never learned how to deal with death

holden's brother allie

Enjoys little kids, erases vulgar graffiti, shows most attachment to the people to who he thinks that represents innocence (allie, phoebe, james castle)

holden's desire to protect kids innocence

Beginning Holden vs. world, hates everyone and everything, does not try, does not want to take responsibility for maturing, hates adulthood bc he fears it and having responsibility End: Holden has Hope, thinking about actually trying when he goes back to school, misses people from Pencey, learned alot from his time in NYC, where he saw normal lives, go backs to him opening up, hated Pencey people but has an emotional connection to them,

holden's growth

Holden only wears the hat when alone or confident, self-conscious of it and uses it when he is vulnerable

how does the hat symbolize his individuality

We see light from the streetlights who shine of the girl, Mangan's sister, inside kitchen light, at Araby itself, Light represents knowing awareness, Darkness Play, he enjoys and likes the darkness, fun, darkness represents his childhood Darkness is usually represented as sadness and danger but in this story, Joyce is suggested that darkness represents his childhood, does not have a sense of reality, has ignorance, lack of understanding, but at the end of the story he reacts with anger to the darkness, he realizes that he does not know anything, he begins to move to maturity and adolescence (adulthood), These relate to the main character because when the character is in light or around light, he is happy, but when there is no light then he is mad or upset. Their characterization changes by the end of the story because he is mad.

in araby How does Joyce use Light and Darkness in the story? How do these relate to the main character? How does their characterization change by the end of the story?

How to deal with his role in the war. while viewing himself as a Christian C. How to identify with his dual racial identity as both British and African D. How to accept his job as a poet, while remembering the physical struggles his ancestors endured as slaves

The physical layout is really weird, but once you spell it out it spelled L(leaf falls)oneliness, emphasizes that a leaf falling is lonely, there are no sentences, it is very specific bc it is supposed to emphasize the loneliness, I would rather read this because it is like the leaves are falling.This helps describe the poet's intention which was to focus on loneliness.

Someone that is a "fake" Holden has a deep hatred for phonies (people that only act a certain way under circumstance) In this book, Holden calls people phonies many many times Holden's headmaster in school was the first one he called a phony. He said that Mr. Haas was only nice to certain parents. If they weren't rich or under certain circumstances, he wasn't nice The second person was Lillian Simmons. She talked to Holden only to know stuff about his brother. He realized that she didn't care about him and only about his brother Holden was annoyed that people that came out of the play who were talking about it really didn't know what was going on but wanted to sound sophisticated Holden used phony to describe the action that someone did- questions himself Holden may just be upset that he was the unpopular kid at school and didn't have rich parents or good relationships. May be the cause that he calls so many people phonies He was trying to show that being a phony sometimes is part of being a person- people aren't perfect Holden wants to believe the world is simple and perfect and either you're a phony or not This is obviously not true- there are always tough situations When talking to his family (his sister Phoebe mostly) he is a very honest person and was sensitive When he was around someone he cared about he was very kind Mr. Spencer was sometimes a phony but could also be a genuinely very nice person at other times according to Holden He mostly called adults phonies

significance of easter 1916

Holden got the hat after he lost everything, feels vulnerable, shield to him gives him a sense of safety apart of him Hat also represents his denial of adolescence, he never takes anything seriously and showed signs of regression instead of maturing What cap is reversed resembles a catcher's hat which leads to him to reference the poem and misinterpret it Claimed he wants to be a catcher in the rye to protect children in an infinite field of rye The hat represents the inner self, does not feel comfortable with sharing that part He is a troubled boy with self-acceptance issues, does not know who he is, looks for other people's approval
