What do the plough and the sun signify in these lines from a novel?
On some upland farm, a plough had been left standing in the field. The sun was sinking just behind it. Magnified across the distance by the horizontal light, it stood out against the sun, was exactly contained within the circle of the disk; the handles, the tongue, the share—black against the molten red. There it was, heroic in size, a picture writing on the sun.
(from My Antonia by Willa Cather)
failure of farmers
natural beauty
man and nature
drudgery of work

The Red Badge of Courage
by Stephen Crane (excerpt)

After complicated journeyings with many pauses, there had come months of monotonous life in a camp. He had had the belief that real war was a series of death struggles with small time in between for sleep and meals; but since his regiment had come to the field the army had done little but sit still and try to keep warm.

He was brought then gradually back to his old ideas. Greeklike struggles would be no more. Men were better, or more timid. Secular and religious education had effaced the throat-grappling instinct, or else firm finance held in check the passions.

He had grown to regard himself merely as a part of a vast blue demonstration. His province was to look out, as far as he could, for his personal comfort. For recreation he could twiddle his thumbs and speculate on the thoughts which must agitate the minds of the generals. Also, he was drilled and drilled and reviewed, and drilled and drilled and reviewed.

They made a gold ribbon across the prairie.
(from My Antonia by Willa Cather)

Personification and metaphor emphasize the animated quality of the landscape.
Metaphor and simile emphasize realism.

Answer 21

In November 1977, the American Nazi party circulated a tape-recorded telephone message among the residents of Houston. The message offered a reward of $5,000 to anybody who killed a non-white person attacking a white person. After several complaints and a lawsuit, a district court judge ordered the group to delete from the tape any mention of killing or a reward for killing.
Some people argued that offering money to kill somebody is objectionable and illegal. Plus, the message in this tape arguably encourages racism and criminal activity. Others argued that the group who circulated the message had the right to free speech as guaranteed by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.
Is it more important to prevent people from inciting violence (even if it involves curbing some rights guaranteed by the Constitution) or to protect the right to free speech regardless of the message? When is it justifiable to curb a fundamental right such as the freedom of speech? Is it justifiable to use the freedoms of speech and the press to promote racism or violence?

Answer 25

Think about the variety of works of contemporary American literature you have read or are reading. Some of these writers have been lauded with prestigious prizes such as the Nobel Prize for Literature, the Pulitzer Prize, or the Booker Prize, whose winners are chosen by panels of eminent critics. Others, such as the first wave of African American writers, are known primarily for the social significance of their contributions to American literature. Many are categorized as modernist (such as William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway) for their emphasis on form, and others as postmodernist for their emphasis on form that questions the authority of form and literature.
Critics and literary historians define and group works and writers of literature according to a variety of categories. As they do so, they form a canon of works that are deemed important, great, or essential reading. But how do you place value on works of literature? Does a writer’s prize affect how you view his or her writing? Do you think writing is good if it’s difficult or accessible, humorous or gut-wrenching? Do you like works dubbed postmodernist? Describe and discuss the elements of literature that influence your sense of its value.

Answer 26

Classical poetry relies heavily on structures such as meter and rhyme scheme. However, many poets use free verse, or they create their own type of structure to capture their thoughts. These poets believe in a more natural, free-flowing form of expression.

When you write a poem, do you prefer a fixed structure? Does the presence of structure help produce more refined and evocative poems? Or do poets lose some expression by adopting a fixed structure? Explain your opinion with arguments and examples.

Answer 27

Either way, this is a lot to ask of people, like honestly do you think that we're supposed to sit here, take the time to read all of this, and then give you a reply to every little bit?
