Blog Post 12 - IOC Practice

 Act 5 Scene 1 of  The Tragedy of Macbeth  by William Shakspeare This is an excerpt from The Tragedy of Macbeth  when Lady Macbeth was sleepwalking when the Gentlewoman and Doctor found her. Enjoy my commentary on the famous out damned spot  passage! https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jwcXOBOI1ivWFbHAi27TJrRYp3cffI7B Personal Scoring: A: Knowledge & Understanding of Text 7 - I referenced the context not only of the text as a whole but also where this excerpt was placed within the text and how this was a result of past events and how it foreshadowed/impacted future events in the play. However, I could have potentially chosen better quotes for my analysis since the ones that I chose all had similar topics and were not very diverse. B: Understanding of Literary Features 7 - I referenced 2 literary devices used within the text, each with 3 quotes to back up how they were significant not only to the theme but also to the audience and how they were...

I also am able to interpret this in a way that shows the car on the side of a dirt road with no one around to show that these people wanted to be alone and they went very far away from all other civilization. Through this photograph and Margaret Atwood's The...

Blog Post 4 - Jane Eyre

Prompt:   Writers often highlight the values of a culture or a society by using characters who are alienated from that culture or society because of gender, race, class, or creed. Explain how the character’s alienation reveals the surrounding society’s assumptions and moral values. The alienation  shown through  Jane Eyre  in this excerpt of Chapter 7 includes how the characters are perceived by their peers and the adults in their lives. One example of this is when Mr. Brocklehurst, the orphanage  supervisor, called out Julia for having curly red hair by saying "' WHAT is that girl with curled hair? Red hair, ma'am, curled--curled all over?' And extending his cane he pointed to the awful object, his hand shaking as he did so ... 'we are not to conform to nature'" (Bronte). The alienation of the orphans was displayed through the neglect from the workers at the orphanage. Through the lack of proper clothing for the winter and food that is inedible for th...
