*Invocation of the Muse
*I really like how Milton took this very pagan element and made it remarkably Christian.

Explain two things Hopeful says are things that salvation in Jesus have changed in him.
Hopeful says, "It made me see that all the world, notwithstanding all the righteousness thereof, is in a state of condemnation." By this he means that the world, even with all the righteousness of the Lord available, is still evil and he disapproves of it. A second thing he says is "It made me greatly ashamed of the vileness of my former life, and confounded me with the sense of mine own ignorance; for there never came a thought into my heart before now that showed me so the beauty of Jesus Christ." By this he means that he became greatly ashamed of the life he lived before his salvation and that he had been ignorant to the Love of Jesus. He never had a thought about how wonderful Jesus is until that moment.

As Christian ascends and looks forward, he sees another pilgrim ahead of him. The sight of another pilgrim, after enduring the solitary struggles of the valley, is a healer to Christian's soul. He is not alone in his journey. There is a brother walking in the same path and Christian desires to be his companion.

Read Philippians 1:6 and discuss how this verse relates to Milton's poem.
Philippians 1:6 says "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Milton's poem is of a man reflecting back on his 23 years of life so far. He wonders how much he has contributed to society, if he is mature or not, and when he will become a productive and proper individual as God created him. This verse says that God, who began a good work in you, will carry this good work till the completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Therefore, the verse relates to the poem because in the poem the man is wondering about the timing of his productivity in the world, but God will see it through.

Explain in your own words how and why the idea of isolation would have been ideal in Renaissance England.
Donne's idea of isolation was very different from the people who wanted isolation. These people actually wanted to separate from everyone. The British Isles are islands, but are very close to Europe. This left them too close to become isolated. People wanted to isolate themselves from the other countries to form a "perfect society."

Symbolism is using words, objects, or ideas to represent the invisible or intangible truths or states. Allegory is the expression of symbolic figures, truths, or generalizations about existence. Symbolism and allegory are two different words with very similar meanings. Symbolism is the scholarly method or figure of speech that encourages the symbolic layer of a content, while allegory is somewhat the non specific model or the genre of the content.

*Hero is of Importance
*This actually gets a little tricky in Paradise Lost. In fact, many scholars argue over who the epic hero in the poem actually is. Our first reaction is usually that it is Adam, but upon reading further, many argue that it is actually Satan. Some even suggest that it is Jesus, though he has a much smaller part than either Adam or Satan in the epic. For our purposes, we will stick to Adam being the epic hero. So what makes him important? The hero is of nobility Though Adam does hail not from a long line of kings, he is a direct creation of the God of the universe. That's pretty epic. The hero is super-human in ability Well, he is actually human. But, prior to the Fall, he did have some super-human qualities. It is only after he gives in to temptation that some limitations are placed on him. The hero has unique weapons of size and power Well, no, not really. But, he does have a personal relationship with the God of the universe that he should have used as a weapon against the temptation. Unfortunately, he didn't. The hero is a representation of whatever is most valued in the culture Well, there was no culture per-se in Adam's time, but there is a culture in Milton's time, so there are some values that Adam would embody that reflect Milton's era. This is part of where the discrepancy in who the epic hero is comes into play. Satan makes a much better representation of the cultural values Milton was targeting than Adam does. It is much easier to notice that Satan wants the power, acts on revenge and hate, and interferes in God's will and plan and make parallels to 17th century politics. It is much harder to notice that Adam reflects stereotypical gender roles and the fact that he is a pawn in the hand of a much bigger scheme and see those as representations of 17th century politics. The hero has a tragic flaw Adam clearly has a tragic flaw that leads to his downfall. His weakness in temptation leads to his break from fellowship with God, his removal from Paradise, and the downfall of the entire human race.
*Subject is the Struggle is for Something Significant
*This is fairly easy to discern, because it is literally the struggle between good and evil. Though many epics have this as an underlying theme, Paradise Lost has it as its main theme. At the end of this epic, Adam and Eve are expelled from Paradise, thus the title of the poem, which seemingly makes evil win. But, as a brief portion at the end, Adam is given a vision of the future, which includes his consequences, but also the plan of salvation, which makes evil's victory only temporary.
*Supernatural Powers Intervene
*Well, this is very obvious. God, Satan, demons, angels, the personification of Sin and Death, all of those demonstrate how supernatural powers are involved.

Read I Timothy 4:12 and discuss how this verse relates to Milton's poem.
1 Timothy 4:12 says, "Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity." This relates to the poem because the man in the poem is talking about his youth and analyzing it, but the verse says to let know one despise you for your youth.

Citation Lead-ins: At the beginning of every citation, whether direct or indirect you must have a lead-in. A lead-in is an mini introduction to the information you are citing. It usually includes the author's or organization's name or the name of the book or article. It looks something like this: According to Dr. Knowitall, "Then... Or, like this: Dr. Knowitall contends in his book I'm Really Smart that... You must have a lead-in before every citation, direct and indirect, to indicate where what you are citing begins. DO NOT begin a sentence with quotation marks. Lead-ins also help prevent plagiarism, because you can clearly see who is being given the credit for what parts of your paper. Remember, over citing is a form of plagiarism as well! Punctuating Citations: A common mistake on in text citations is the punctuation. You need to pay special attention to where the end marks go. A direct quote is punctuated like this: Begin with a lead-in followed by a comma. Put quotation marks around the citation. Put the parenthetical citation (we'll talk about these in a minute). Put the period. EXAMPLE: -PICTURE- An indirect quote is punctuated like this: Begin with a lead-in. Put the parenthetical citation (we'll talk about these is minute). Put the period. EXAMPLE: -PICTURE- One last issue with citation punctuation: If the direct quotation already ends in a question mark or an exclamation point, then you put that punctuation in the quotation marks and the period outside the parenthetical citation. Like this: -PICTURE-

Finally, we need to address what goes in the parentheses. There is a standard answer and then a few exceptions. The standard answer is this: the last name of the author and the page number go inside the parenthesis. EXAMPLE: (Smith 7). The fact is, though, that there are circumstances in which this standard citation will have to change. Here are a few exceptions: If there is more than one author (Smith and Johnson 7). If there is a corporate or organizational author (American Heart Association 7). If the citation is on more than one page (Smith 7-8). If there is no author, you start with whatever you alphabetized by on the Works Cited page, usually the title of the article or book. You will use a shortened version of the title. ("Good Books" 7). or (Great Books 7). You must be certain that it is obvious which work you are citing. It must come from what you alphabetized by, not some other part of the citation. Internet sites that were not originally published elsewhere do not have page numbers. In the parenthetical citation, you just put the author's last name. Do not make up page numbers, but also be careful to make sure that it was not originally published with page numbers, because you must use page numbers when present. Students often make the mistake of putting a web address or a portion of a web address as the citation. A web address will not be an in text citation. Notice there is NO comma, pg., # or any other punctuation between the author's name and the page number. Once again, this covers the average parenthetical citations, but if you encounter something unusual, you will need to research it. The best and easiest place to do that is OWL Purdue. (Owl Purdue In Text Citations) One last note on in text citations: When the lead-in contains the author's name and is very close to the citation, it is not necessary to include the author's last name in the parenthesis. You can just put the page number. EXAMPLE: Professor Eric Lewis comments, "Blah, blah, blah" (24). *In this example Eric Lewis, the author, is in the lead-in and is very close to the citation. It's a bit redundant to put his last name again in the citation. The same is true if there is no author and you have used the organization or the title to alphabetize by. If it is clear in the lead-in and is close to the citation, it is not necessary to put it again.

Hopeful's conversion experience is one we must each experience for ourselves. Salvation comes from us recognizing the desperate situation we are in. We are sinners who cannot save ourselves. It is only through the free gift of God's perfect Son that we can be rescued from our sin. It requires faith that we acknowledge Him as Lord and Savior of our lives. We must pray a prayer similar to Hopeful's. A prayer that acknowledges our sin and our need and desire for Jesus as Savior. And, we must experience the change Hopeful experienced! We must see our former lives for the vileness they were, and we must desire the things of God!

It is important to understand the historical context of the bell imagery. In late Medieval and 17th Century England, village Church of England bells would ring for morning services (matins) and evening services (vespers). The bells served as an alarm clock and time keeper for the villagers. They rang before and after Sunday services, after a wedding, and most alarmingly frequent, for funerals and when one of the villagers was at death's door. This was so alarmingly frequent because of the Black Plague. It is this bell, the funeral bell or the death bell, that Donne is referring to in Meditation 17.

John Donne led an interesting life. He was born into a devoted Catholic family in a time when Catholicism was not acceptable. But, nearing 40 years old, Donne actually renounced his Catholic faith and turned to Anglicanism. He won favor with the monarchy and eventually became the vicar of a parish, where he became famous for his eloquent sermons. He wrote extensively on religious topics and was known for his detailed metaphors and symbolism. Near the end of his life, the primary subject of his writing turned to death. Some of his most famous works come from this time.

Lastly, I want to address a few last things about writing a research paper. You must write in 3rd person, which means you cannot use words such as I, me, my, mine, myself, you, yours, yourself, us, we, and our. You can use other pronouns like she, he, and they. You need to write in present tense. Write like you are discussing this in the present time. Only use past tense to indicate time shifts from the present. Write in active voice. This means you need to avoid overuse of the being verbs: am, is, are, was, were, be, being, and been. Have clear topic sentences that follow your thesis and sub-points. Use key words and phrases from your outline that show you are on track. Structure your paragraph to make a statement, support with a citation, then explain the citation. No direct or indirect quote should ever stand alone or be assumed to be self explanatory. Restate what the author means or why what he says matters.
--
Now that you have completed your Works Cited page, we need to understand how that information gets put into the paper. There are two times you will cite in your paper. 1) You cite a direct quotation. 2) You cite an indirect quotation or paraphrase. A direct quotation is when you use the exact words of the author and you put quotation marks around it. The only time you should use a direct quotation is when you can't possibly word it any better or any differently than it has already been worded. Or, you can use it when you want to refer to the exact wording used. Be careful not to overuse the direct quotation. An indirect quotationis when you are paraphrasing or summarizing what the author has said. You are keeping the content, but changing the words. The majority of your citations should be this type. It is simply not necessary to rewrite everything the authors have said. Both citations look the same in the paper, except the presence or absence of quotation marks.

Remember a few lessons ago, I picked a book that I would write my research paper about. Here is what I picked, in case you don't remember. EXAMPLE: I chose the theme of betrayal by those closest to us. I will use Macbeth, Julius Caesar, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. My paper would address things like: What does the theme mean How is this a universal theme Who betrays whom in Macbeth - how and why Who betrays whom in Julius Caesar - how and why Who betrays whom in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe - how and why Examples of each instance of betrayal and how it is a theme not just a passing incident Are their consequences for the betrayal in the pieces How does the author present this issue What cultural factors made this a necessary theme in the piece Why is humanity drawn to this theme And much more! Do you remember, now? If I were going to write a thesis sentence for this book and this research paper, it would look something like this: The universal theme of betrayal is evident in Macbeth, Julius Caesar, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Now, lets dissect this thesis sentence. What is the topic? the universal theme of betrayal What is my opinion? that these works demonstrate it What are my supports? the three works that demonstrate it Another key element of writing a good thesis and good writing in general is called parallel structure. Parallel structure means that you keep your three supports in the same wording structure. For example, in the thesis I have, all three of my supports the title of the books. Focus on using parallel structure in your thesis and in all your writing. Your thesis won't look exactly like mine, because it needs to fit the theme and works you are researching, but it should look something like this. Remember, the better job you do at planning, the better your paper will be!

So what does this poem mean? The Octave (lines 1-8) We need to recall Milton's physical limitation here to really understand what this part is about. Remember, even from a young age he was losing his eyesight and eventually went blind. In the first part of this poem, Milton is wondering how he can still use his writing (his "talent" like the allusion) when he is losing his eyesight before half his life is even over. He seems almost panicky because the Lord requires faithfulness in using the talents, but he feels he has not been given the tools to continue doing this. How can he accomplish his life's mission when his "light" (line 1), which references his sight, is gone? He basically asks if God requires the work without giving him the ability to do it, when he says, "Doth God exact day-labor, light denied?" The Sestet (lines 9-14) Patience replies to the speaker's worry and fear. Patience says that God doesn't need your work or your gifts! The ones who serve Him best simply bear his yoke. Remember the allusion here. God has thousands of angels at hand to do whatever He bids on land or sea without needing rest. Those who are called by God to stand and wait are still serving Him, whether it is the angels waiting for His next command or people waiting for God's provision.
--
So, what does this poem mean? The Octave (lines 1-8) The speaker considers how quickly his life has flown by. He is already at his 23rd year! He feels like his youth has been stolen by time. The discouraging part, as he sees it, is that he doesn't see the evidence of fruit, like bloom or blossom, as others have in the "Spring" of their lives. He goes on to say that he looks like a man on the outside, but inwardly, he sees no evidence of manhood that other people seem to have evidence of. Sestet (lines 9-14) But, the writer realizes that sooner or later, whether quickly or slowly, he will be brought to the place that Time and God's will are leading him to. So, whatever condition he is in, if he has the grace and patience to view it as God's plan, is the same in God's opinion. He is always in God's sight regardless of his appearance, accomplishment, or maturity.

The first aspect of the thesis is the topic. The thesis is best placed at the end of the introductory paragraph, which means at some point you have probably already mentioned your topic; however, you need to make the wording work so that you can mention the topic again in your thesis. You should be able to read your thesis independent of the paper and even the introduction and know exactly what the paper will be about. For this paper your paper is about the universal theme. You also need to state your position on the topic without saying "I like" or "I think." You can do this simply with words like "is" or "is not," "can" or "cannot," or "do" or "do not." Let me give you an example. If I said something like, "Abortion is wrong." Do I have to add "In my opinion" into that sentence for you to know that the statement is my opinion? No, of course not! It is obvious just by me saying it IS wrong. This is how you will insert your opinion into the thesis without saying "I like" or "I think" or a similar statement. For this paper, your position is that this universal theme is evident within the three works you have chosen. Writing a three-pronged thesis means that you will narrow your entire paper down to three main support points. The three main points are narrow for a five-paragraph essay and get broader the longer the paper needs to be. Sometimes coming up with the three main points can be difficult. It can be hard to make the categories big enough to cover a very lengthy paper. However, the three-pronged thesis really can be used in almost every writing project, and it forces you to think about what you are really writing about. Your research paper fits nicely into the three-pronged thesis, because you have three key components already, the three pieces of literature.

There are some additional literary elements we need to address before we can truly understand what this poem is about. Allusions True to Milton's writing style, he relies heavily on allusions in this poem. We have talked about them before, but remember allusions are references to things that the author assumes you know or understand without having to specifically state the connection. There are two allusions you should understand here. The first is found in line three. He references "talents." This allusion comes from Matthew 25:14-30 (Links to an external site.). Reread that passage to understand the context of the talents that Milton is discussing. The second is in line eleven, when it references "His mild yoke." This is an allusion to Matthew 11:29-30 (Links to an external site.). Personification Beginning in line eight, Patience is talking to the speaker. Personification is giving life-like qualities to a non-living thing. Patience having the ability to speak would definitely fit into this device.

This poem, though containing some difficult words, is actually fairly straight forward to understand. Octave (lines 1-8) The speaker tells death that even though some people fear him because they think he is strong and to be dreaded, he really shouldn't be that proud of himself, because death is not as strong as he thinks he is. Death doesn't really kill the ones he thinks he does. In fact, Death can't really kill anyone at all! Rest, naptime, and sleep are all what death is like, and they represent death with something everyone can understand. We get pleasure from resting and napping, so how much more pleasure should we get from death? [This is a rhetorical question, meaning the answer is so obvious it doesn't need to be answered]. From death, much more pleasure will flow. Sooner or later, all of the best men go to death and gain rest for their bones and delivery for their souls. Sestet (lines 9-14) Death is simply a slave, a slave to destiny, bad luck, king's pronouncing execution, and murderous criminals. You live with poison, war, and illness. So, why are you so puffed up with pride? We will fall asleep and quickly wake up in eternity, in heaven! Death will be the one defeated and there will be no more death anymore! Death, YOU are the one who is going to die (hahaha!) We know the end of the story, and Jesus Christ wins!

This probably sounds like a interesting title for a poem, so let's dive into this and see if we can extract what's really going on here. For starters, the poem is also know as "Sonnet VII" and as "How Soon Hath Time," but Milton's original title is the one we are using. Let's read the poem: "On His Being Arrived to the Age of Twenty-three" (Links to an external site.) This is an Italian Sonnet.

We will talk about the format of the outline in a minute, but first let's recall what goes in an outline. You actually already have a good start. Once you have developed your thesis, you have the three main points of your paper! Now, you need to fill in what goes underneath the main points. The better your research, the more detailed your outline will be. Please remember that a point on an outline does NOT equal a paragraph! Under each work I will need to provide several specific example of the theme's presence as well as how the author addresses the theme and the influences that caused the writer to choose that theme.

You only need to read the alphanumeric sample. We will not be using the full sentence outline which is also presented here. Pay special attention to the parallel structure used in the outline. If you need a refresher or further instruction on parallel structure check this out: Parallel Structure in Writing Some final thoughts on outlining: Remember as you are outlining the rule of outlines, which is: If you have an "A," you must have a "B." If you have a "1," you must have a "2." This means you cannot have just one sub-point under a larger point - you must have at least two. The rule doesn't go any farther than that. Meaning, you don't have to have a "D" if you have a "C," or a "4" if you have a "3."

metaphysical conceit - a metaphysical conceit is a comparison between two strikingly different things where one thing is concrete and one is abstract. In this case, Donne is comparing death (abstract) to a powerful tyrant (concrete). paradox - a paradox is something that seems illogical or contradictory In this case, Donne indicating that Death would die, would be an example of a paradox. apostrophe - is talking to an imaginary character or a personified character as if the that actually existed. Donne talks to Death as if it is a real person.

Do you think Adam fits the definition of an epic hero? Why or why not. Be specific.
According to the powerpoint, an epic hero should be introduced in the midst of turmoil and any back story is introduced through flashbacks, he is often a demi-god or possesses weapons of size and power, he is to have what the culture values, is to be from nobility, meets his nemesis towards the end of the epic, and has a tragic downfall. Paradise lost is said to begin the midst of turmoil and introduces flashbacks of the past later. Adam, although not a demi-god, does possess the greatest weapon of all time at his time which is a personal relationship with the Lord. He should have followed what he knew was right via his relationship with the Lord. Adam does not seem to have in excess what the culture values at the time which is power, revenge, and hate. He does however represent being a part of a big scheme and stereotypical gender roles. Adam is from the greatest nobility of all and the is God himself, who made Adam from dust. I am unaware of the entire plot of Paradise Lost in order to know he he meets his nemesis towards the end of the epic, but he definitely has a tragic flaw, being the temptation of eating the from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. After reviewing all of these traits, I believe Adam fits enough of the qualities of an epic hero to be considered one for the poem.

In the beginning Macbeth was a good man and Lady Macbeth didn't really care about anything she had no guilt no conscience she didn't care. She was the one who convinced Macbeth to kill King Duncan in the first place when Macbeth was uneasy about the whole thing. In the beginning, it was Lady Macbeth who was evil and greedy. However, as the play progressed, Macbeth turned evil and Lady Macbeth began to realize how terrible she's been and started to feel guilty, while Macbeth started to loose his sense of heart. He started not to care. Lady Macbeth felt so bad she sleepwalked and ended up killing herself. She became good and realized how wrong it was to do what her and Macbeth did. Macbeth started out good and knowing it was wrong to kill and be greedy, then ended up greedy and un-mindful of how awful he was being, he didn't care anymore. They reversed.
In Macbeth, compare Lady Macbeth's character in Act I and Act III.
In the beginning of the play, Lady Macbeth is very innocent and normal. However, that all changes when Macbeth tells her all about the witches prophecies. She becomes the coldest character in the play. She begins to plot murders and she's even the one who sort of forced Macbeth into doing these murders. She convinced him to go all the way. When she heard what she could gain, she became cold and would do anything to get what she wanted.

Choose one evidence of salvation that Faithful gives to Talkative and talk about how it is true in your own life.
One evidence Faithful gives to Talkative is that a person feels the weight of his sin. The Spirit works in his heart convicting him of his sin. He grieves over his sin and is convinced of the certainty of impended judgement due his sin. This is, to me, the most apparent evidence one can ask themselves about if they question if they have been saved. When I sin, I feel the weight of that sin on me and I feel greatly guilty of it. This assures me of my relationship with the Lord, but also keeps me accountable of my own sin.
In Pilgrim's Progress, what does Faithful say is the difference between having a "great outcry against sin" and "abhorring sin"?

Read the following sonnet. What is the problem and what is the resolution? XXIX When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself, and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featur'd like him, like him with friends possess'd, Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope, With what I most enjoy contented least; Yet in these thoughts my self almost despising, Haply I think on thee,— and then my state, Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

Even though he hates himself, he thinks of this person he's talking too.

Part of the purpose of this scene is to reinforce the symbol of unnatural events in nature mimicking the unnatural event of Duncan's murder. Two specific events are particularly frightening. Explain them.
There are two sets of two strange things that are frightening to me. The first two being that a falcon was in the sky, and it was caught and killed by a regular owl's usually go for mice. And the second thing being two beautiful obedient horses broke out of their stalls and ran like crazy and refused to be obedient and then ate each other afterwards.

Read the following sonnet. What is the problem and what is the resolution? XVIII Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd, And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature's changing course untrimm'd: But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st, So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
This sonnet is comparing someone to a summer's day. Because that person is so bright and beautiful. They are their own sun. And nature sometimes looses it's beauty, the clouds cover the sun and flowers die. However, this person's beauty and light will never die. They will always be beautiful.
