Marco Ponce Version 1 Year ?06-?07 CH 8 Writing about Literature * Writing about literature offers several benefits. Weighing and recording your thought on the different elements sharpen your critical thinking ability. Literary papers also pay artistic dividends, as careful reading and subsequent writing deepen your appreciation of the writer?s craft. Focusing, gathering information, organizing, writing, revising, and editing?the old familiar trail leads to success here too. 8.1 The Elements of Literature Most writing assignments on literature will probably feature one or more of the following elements: plot, point of view, character, setting, symbols, irony, and theme. Depending on the work, some of these will be more important than others. 8.1.1 Plot

Rocker 1 Sammi Rocker AP Language and Composition Mrs. Haas 24 April 2013 The Things They Carried: 4. 3. 2. 1. Analysis Discussion Ideas: There are many paradoxes of war so we can discuss how O?Brien brings them to light: ?I was a coward. I went to war? (page 61); ?The truths are contradictory. It can be argued, for instance, that war is grotesque. But in truth war is also beauty? (page 80). Repetition in the story represents the narrator?s inability to move on from the trauma of the war. How jokes are important to the mental health of a soldier through its relief of tension, despite their usually twisted natures. A debate on whether the tangible or intangible ?weights? are heavier for the soldiers to bear. Passage Analysis:

#Gettsburg

"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
