QUESTION

1. Casandra Lopez – Hottest June: https://poets.org/poem/hottest-june
2. Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo – Battlegrounds https://poets.org/poem/battlegrounds
3. W.S. Merwin – By Day and by Night https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/browse?contentId=28889

This assignment is a combined reading and writing exercise, and your impressions are expected as though applying the literary theory of the reader’s response to the poem you choose to read from the wide selection below.

Enter a typed text separating the analyses of the poems into paragraphs as if writing brief paragraph (mini) essays for each. Type 350-400 words and enter observations and impressions about 3-4 poems, relaying your reactions after reading each one of the poems you’ve chosen to read at least twice. Record your physical responses to poetry from your first read and how you made sense of words, imagery, metaphor, etc., on the second read. This response is expected to be subjective since reading literature is subjective. However, we will strive in this class to write objectively and make strong arguments as we analyze other forms and genres of literature. Poetry is the ideal form of literature to generate such a sensual reaction to the poems. Think of how your senses react to metaphors alluding to or appealing to your five senses.

M3: JOURNAL – Chapter 5.1-5.3

QUESTION

Read the assigned reading from the chapter. Then choose ONE of the questions below to answer. 

Be sure to explain your answers and give reasons for your views. You should cite the textbook and use brief quotations and summaries from the textbook in your response. Do NOT use any other sources besides the textbook

Are you bothered by the thought of a rigidly determined existence? Does the idea that all your actions are determined disturb you– or reassure you?

How would a personal belief in determinism affect your view of crime and punishment? Do you think that people are generally responsible for their crimes, or are they not responsible due to deterministic forces beyond their control? 

Do you believe that every event has a cause and that free actions are possible? If so, are these beliefs compatible?

Does it matter to you whether you have free will? Would your behavior change if you believed (or didn’t believe) that all your actions were determined by forces beyond your control?

Are free acts, as Stace and compatibilists say, “those whose immediate causes are psychological states in the agent?” Would such acts still be free if the “psychological states” were secretly controlled by someone else through hypnosis?

Reader Response 2

Question

After reading ALL of the assigned readings, summarize them into two-page minimum in total in WORD, and submit through BB. Please summarize your readings with facts only not your opinions. After the due date is missed by one week a zero will be recorded and cannot be submitted.

(1) it is shorter than the source,

(2) it repeats the ideas of the source in different phrases and sentences. 

The purpose of the summary essay is to convey to others an understanding of a text you have read, without their having to read it themselves. Thus for your readers, your summary essay functions as a substitute for the source that you are summarizing. You don’t want to misrepresent your source or mislead your audience. Certainly, an important feature of the summary essay, then, is its fidelity to the source; you must represent your source accurately and comprehensively, with as little of your own interpretation as possible. (Anytime you read and repeat a source, of course, you are interpreting it; but the summary essay asks you to minimize your interpretation as much as possible. Do not add your own examples, explanations, nor opinions for instance.) A summary does not need a conclusion.

Poem explication

QUESTION

Explicating a Poem

Write an Explication and Analysis of no less than 300 words of the poem The Word by Chilean author Pablo Neruda. Following this is how to write a poetry explication, and a paragraph sample written. “On Pablo Neruda’s “The Word,” the third stanza delves in the notions that words are pregnant with meaning, and the comparison suggests that words are personified, as though they were a woman with child. When integrating lines from the poem, be sure to enter a parenthetical citation with the number of the line (Line 3) (Neruda, Lines 3 and 7)”

1-Identify literary devices such as allusion, tone, metaphor, style, etc.

2-When you integrate actual verses or lines from the stanza, as to provide evidence to your interpretation, be sure to insert these lines into quotation marks.

3-Avoid writing “Pablo’s poem entitled “The Word” is about… Instead, Neruda’s poem relies upon language , and the power of word as a means to convey notions of existence and the human need to communicate experience. Never call the author by their first name. 

4- Always introduce the title of the work you are responding to, and the author’s full name. Subsequently, use only the author’s last name
