IdeasWhy did the Renaissance begin in Italy?Italy is located on top of old Roman civilization. They had the wealth and commerce from the middle ages, weren’t as affected by the Black Death.What was the Renaissance?
The Renaissance was the cultural rebirth of ancient Rome and Greece (known as the Classics). As well as the spread of newer ideas in terms of religion, education and government. During the Renaissance there was a big focus on the arts.What themes and techniques were the focus of Renaissance artists and writers?Themes- Beauty and the arts, Secularism, Humanism, Individualism, classics, still religious but not quite so muchTechniques- perspective, rich color, vibrant, proportioned (art) new ideas, reforms, using comedy with deeper meaning (Writing)How did the Renaissance change and stay the same as it moved north?
● Northern humanists: Focused more on religion and morality. Ancient learning.
● Where it started (in the north): began in the prosperous cities of Flanders, a region that included parts of present day northern France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Spain France Germany and England had their great cultural rebirth 100 years later, in the 1500s.
● Italian humanists: Focused more on classical learning and new idea . Not as much about religion.
● Difference: North stressed RELIGIOUS themes more than Italian humanists did. Believed that the revival of ancient learning should be used to bring about religious and moral reform.
● Similarities: both focused education and classical learningWhat abuses within the Catholic Church led to criticism and eventually the Reformation? the church made people give money to “get into heaven” and the money just payed for the priests’ lavish lifestyle “indulgences”What role did Martin Luther play in the Reformation?Martin Luther wrote the 95 Theses, a document which attacked the Catholic Church’s corrupt practice of “selling” indulgences. He wrote that the Bible should be the only source of authority and the only way to achieve salvation was to have faith. This sparked the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Church was now divided. What role did the printing press play in the reformation?The printing press made books and papers available to the common people (made books cheaper). Because of this, it spread Reformation ideas faster rather than have ideas being spread by common word. What was the reaction to Luther’s ideas?
Luther’s ideas were criticized heavily (mostly by the catholic church), and eventually lead him to being banned by the catholic church.What were the short and long term effects of the Protestant Reformation?Short: Protestants were persecuted, sometimes even excommunicated. Long: beliefs spread, Church practices changed to be more moral, and four major (many minor) religions branched off of protestant beliefs, taking them to the extreme.How do Protestant ideas and practice differ from Catholic ideas and practice? Protestant was less showy/flashy, and believed that faith was enough to be granted salvation. What were the basic beliefs and practices of Lutherans:Based off of Luther’s beliefs. CalvinistsBelieved in predestination; lived in small, enclosed communities; didn’t condone anything fun; incredibly strict bible interpretation.

What were the interactions and relationship between Europeans and Asians?What were Chinese, Korean and Japanese policies toward European traders?China at first allowed limited trade with Europe, but upon realizing that the European nations wished to conquer, and that China had nothing to gain from trade (essentially, they were self sufficient), they closed their doors to visitors. The Japanese also initially allowed trade, but stories of Portuguese conquerings and a fear that Japanese loyalties would begin to lie with the Pope led them to isolation as well. Korea was always isolating itself. Who were the important conquistadors? Francisco Pizarro, Hernando Cortés, Magellan, Vasco Nunez de Balboa, Chris Columbus How did the conquistadors conquer Native American Empires?They took advantage of the Native Americans, who thought they were gods. They also had advanced technology in terms of weapons, because the conquistadors had strong steel lances, swords and firearms. While the conquistadors were in the New
World they spread disease, enslaved many Native Americans, took their land and broke down leadership.What were the government, economy society, and culture like in the New World after European colonization?People of European descent would always be those with any leadership or power positions. Natives, and later Africans were treated as complete slaves. What were the motives for the African slave trade?There was much to be gained from the land in the New World that couldn’t be tapped without a skilled, strong workforce. African slaves were skilled laborers, and were immune to some of the diseases that Europeans brought over to the Americas.How did the slave trade impact Africa? The african people turned on one another, capturing and offering their people to the europeans in exchange for goods and safety for themselves.What was the Columbian Exchange? An exchange of goods from europe to the new worldWhat were the goals and policies of mercantilism?Policies: A nation’s wealth is measured in their gold and silver. A nation should import less than they export, and allow their colonies trade only with the mothercountry. What was the commercial revolution?period of European economic expansion and colonization before the Industrial Revolution

theory and attacked traditional religions○ Ideas not accepted by French gov. or Catholic church
Enlightened despots absolute rulers who applied some Enlightenment ideas to their rule. Catherine the Great, Frederick the Great, Joseph IIHeliocentric meaning sun-centeredScientific Method series of steps to prove a hypothesisHobbes believed people were inherently evil/selfish and that a strong government was needed to keep them in lineWollstonecraft believed women should be independent of their husbands to be good wives/momsFrederick the GreatNewton Theorized about gravity, and wrote Newton’s 3 Laws of Universal motion.EnlightenmentLocke-Believed all humans were naturally good, life/liberty/propertyLaissez-faire the belief that the free market should be left alone for it to flourishCatherine the Great enlightened despot of RussiaGalileo- Developed a telescope that could see planets closer, realized that the earth is not the center of the solar system, but the sun is.Natural Law- the rule or law that governs human natureMontesquieu-Thought of the system of branches of power (judicial, legislative, executive), and of checks and balances between each branchAdam Smith wrote The Wealth of Nations, believed in laissez-faire and free marketJoseph II aka the “peasant emperor” ruled Hapsburg empire

○ travelled in disguise among subjects to learn of their problems○ granted toleration to protestants and jews in his catholic empire○ ended censorship and tried to bring Cath. Church under royal control
and sold monasteries and convents to build hospitalsSir Francis Bacon came up with the scientific methodNatural right right that belongs to all humans from birthVoltaire believed everyone had the right to free speechSalons groups of people gathered to discuss Enlightenment ideas
Ideas:How did scientists change the way people viewed the universe?Geocentric beliefs changed to heliocentric. Before the scientific revolution, many people believed that the earth was the center of the universe and that the sun, moon, and the rest of the planets revolved around it. This belief was known as “geocentric”. It did make sense, considering the fact that humans couldn’t (and still can’t) feel the rotation of Earth and such. But after the scientific revolution, it was discovered that the world was heliocentric, which meant that the sun was in the middle of the solar system and all the planets orbited around it.How were these new ideas a threat to traditional authority (churches)?The church did not like the scientific revolution because it defied their preached beliefs. Churches felt threatened by the scientific change in thoughts. This was shown when the church told Galileo to shut up or somethingWhat was the new scientific method?step by step process of discovery (in Science). Scientists can run experiments in different ways... involves observations, carefully collected and (relevant) evidence, logical reasoning, and some imagination in developing hypotheses and explanations.Basically: problem; observations; hypothesis; experiment; analyze; interpret; prove/disprove theory; repeat forever and ever and ever. How did the scientific revolution lead to enlightenment?- ideas of math/science, not religion. people agreed that experiments and analyses need to be performed to find proof of theories, instead of believing what they’re told unblinkingly (sort of like Renaissance ideal of skepticism). zWhat were the philosophes ideas about human nature, government, law, liberty and the economy
❖ Locke ➢ Rights- Life, Liberty and Property➢ Human Nature- Believed that people were born with reason and
tolerance, (knowing right from wrong). He did not believe people were BORN bad, but he did believe that people could choose to be bad.
➢ Government- the government should be more loose and give people freedoms and rights
❖ Hobbes➢ Human Nature- Believed that people were born naturally evil/bad. ➢ Government- the government should be restricting and powerful to
keep society under control -> absolute government.❖ Rousseau
➢ education: play outside when you’re young, then learn a handicraft, then study w/ tutor about what interests you
➢ girls can’t do science etc., they aren’t smart enough and should stay at home which is NOT TRUE
❖ Wollstonecraft➢ Women should have equal rights and education➢ they should be independent of their husbands, think for yourself➢ this will make them good wives/mothers, which is their 1st duty➢ Tending to the homes is not a mindless job, it does take talent and ability
❖ Voltaire➢ BELIEF- Freedom of thought and speech
used writing and wit as a weapon to expose corruption like bad officials, idle aristocrats
➢ hated inequality, injustice and superstition. Also, hated slave trade and deplored religious prejudice
➢ “I may disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”.
❖ Kant➢ think for yourself➢ the reason for people’s opression is their laziness (too lazy to come up
with their own ways to do things, and question givens), and their fear of change/the unknown.
❖ Montesquieu
➢ separation of powers
How did the enlightenment ideas influence enlightened despots? they used enlightenment ideas in their rule. Enlightened Despots include Joseph II, Frederick the Great (not Frederick William I of Prussia- that was his dad) and Catherine the great. However, their enlightenment was limited, because they would not at all sacrifice their power and control for the enlightenment ideas.

Julius Caesar
Did Shakespeare write in Old English, Middle English or Modern English? - modern englishDid Caesar’s rule turn the Roman Republic into a Roman Empire? Why or why not?(I personally think) Caesar’s rule turned Rome into an Empire not a Republic. The first reason why is because Rome continued to expand after Caesar came into power which is a characteristic of an Empire. After Caesar died, people continued to struggle for power rather than go back to a democratic republic an example is in the struggle for power between Marc Antony and Octavian (Caesar’s adopted son). Octavian continued to rule for many years, as a dictator. In fact, many emperors continued to rule after Octavian such as Nero, Tiberius etc. Definitely not a Republic. What is the great chain of being and how does it play a role in Julius Caesar?
1) God 2) Angels 3) Humans 4) Animals
5) Plants 6) Nonliving things (Dirt, Rocks etc.) Minerals What is the role of fate and free will in Julius Caesar? Recall the FatesHow much control a given character has over their actions, and their results. The three fates had control over the path and duration of any given person’s life. What are the three methods for integrating quotations?
● Words words words: “Quote quote quote”● Words words talking-verb, “quote quote quote”● Words words words “quote quote quote”
How do characters feel about Caesar’s rule? Consider Brutus, Cassius, they feel like he isnt a good ruler, and want him dead. Cassius has no doubts, and uses flattery to convince Brutus to feel the same way, although Brutus originally isn’t sure.Plebeians other public officials (Marullus and Flavius)They aren’t huge fans of Caesar either, but they have more fear as to speaking out against him (or at least Marullus does- Flavius convinces him otherwise).Describe Caesar and Calpurnia and Portia and Brutus’ relationshipPortia and Brutus are respectful, courteous, and careful of each other. Caesar and Calpurnia- Caesar disrespects women in general, and goes back on him promises to his wife often, which results in his death. Describe how fate and free will play a role in Caesar’s assassinationOne could aregue that Calpurnia’s visions were proof of Caesar’s fate being to die, but at the same time, had he not been so proud, he might’ve survived. Similarly, if he had
given the conspirators the freedom of their friend as they asked, they might’ve been more kind. And finally, had Caesar listened to the Soothsayer’s warnings, he would’ve survived. His ignorance of these clear signals shows either his impenetrable stupidity and ignorance, or he really was fated to die.Which characters can be considered tragic heroes and why? Define, identify and analyze Caesar- his false sense of security in his own greatness (cough cough hurbis cough cough cough) caused him to disregard many clear warnings of danger. Brutus- he was proud enough to be manipulated. And while he didn’t die (did he?), he was talked into doing something arguably regrettable, and taking the blame. anagnorisis- When the hero makes a critical discovery or realizes somethinghamartia- The character’s fatal flaw hubris- Excessive prideDefine identify and analyze the following literary devices: motif - reccuring element or symbol in a story contributes to themesymbol- object/concept that represents an ideaimagery- describing something in a way that the reader can picture it perfectlymetaphor- a figure of speech where a word/phrase is applied to an action/object which does not literally fitaside- When an actor turns to the audience and says somethingallusion- reference to an event, historical person, and/or a literature workirony (Dramatic situational verbal)Dramatic- When the audience knows something that the character doesn’t know.Situational- The opposite of something that is expected. Example: Fire station burns down. Dentist gets a cavity. The police station gets robbed etc.Verbal- Basically sarcasm. Says or writes one thing but means another using tone or choice of words.
All eleven rhetorical devices- Repetition: The reiteration of words and phrasesParallelism: Repeated grammatical structuresRhetorical Question: Questions that require no answer, but are simply meant to engage the audienceAnecdote: A short and amusing story about a real incident or personAntithesis: A person or thing that is the direct opposite of someone or something else

The OdysseyWhat is Ancient Greece’s time period, time period overlap with Ancient Rome, influences on Rome and the modern world, geography and form of government and Trojan War?About 800-500BC. Ancient Rome was founded by Romulus c.735BC.Ancient Roman culture took cues from Greek mythology, architecture, daily routines, art, and eventually government. They made their own changes though- religious figures’ names changed, stories varied slightly. Roman art was more idealistic (everything more beautiful, less realistic necessarily). What are elements of an epic poem
● Formal, dignified, objective tone● Long narrative about serious/worthy/traditional subject
● Exploits of a hero
● Superhuman feats of strength or military prowess
● Gods or supernatural beings take part in the action and impact the outcome
● Poem begins with an invocation of a muse to inspire the poet
● Narrative begins in medias res (middle of action)
● Poem focuses on highborn kings and warriors (rather than peasants and
commoners)
● Employs extended similes
● Begins with a prayer to the muse for emotion and creativity
● Hero represents the cultural values of a race, or religious group and the success
or failure of his exploits will determine that group’s fate

What is the significance of the story of Agamemnon?- He portrays women in a negative light. He believes that women can’t be completely trusted, for once a man tells her all his secrets and reveals his weaknesses and trusts too much, she’ll have the power to betray him and lead him to his downfall. This is what happened with Agamemno. After coming home from an overseas journey, his wife and the man she
was having an affair with had killed him. Agamemnon’s story warned Odysseus to come home disguised first to see if his wife was truly loyal to him

Describe Ancient Greek values seen in the Odyssey- ● HOSPITALITY ● Excellence or virtue- greek hero should display admirable traits like wisdom,
leadership, skill in battle, honor etc.
How is Odysseus trial at sea similar to the birth of a baby- 1. Extreme change in settings: from womb to real word vs. froms sea to land.1. Dynamic: contractions vs. wave/ocean strength and intensity. Calm to crazy.
2. Tired, sleepless.
3. Athena is like the parent, keeping Ody from trouble (crashing into rocks on
shore).
4. When Odysseus arrives on the shore, he emerges helpless and weak(like a baby)
Explain how Odysseus is a tragic hero- His pride led him to his downfall. After he had escaped from the Cyclops, Odysseus was supposed to sail away, but he continued taunting the monster. It had gotten to the excessively dangerous level, when even his shipmates were telling him to stop and leave. If Odysseus would continue taunting Polyphemus, then the monster could easily chuck a rock at them and destroy their ships, or perhaps send a deadly wave toward them. However, Odysseus ignored the consequences and allowed his pride to take control. He continued making fun of the monster and that resulted in Polyphemus’ father, Poseidon, cursing Odysseus, which did lead Odysseus and his crew “to his downfall” by hindering his home journey by 8 or more years (7 years with Calypso, 1 year with Kirke).Evaluate Telemakhos and Odysseus acts of revenge Odysseus, disguised as an old beggar, distracted the suitors as Telemachus gathered everyone’s weapons and stored it away in a locked room. Penelope hosted a competition between the suitors to decide a winner, it was a shooting competition. Odysseus enters with a bow and arrow, grand entrance, kills the main suitor, Antinoos, with an arrow. Then he and
Telemachos trapped the suitors in the room and killed them off with the help of some others. They killed all the suitors and Melanthios as well. It was bloody. Spared only 2 innocents.

Ender’s Game● Ender’s Game Game Theory
○ Game theory is essentially thinking of what other people will do, and then reacting to that to get what you want.
■ Zero-sum: if one wins, the other loses■ Mutual gain: both win■ Mutual harm: both lose■ Cooperative: working together■ Noncooperative: not working together■ Sequential: one after the other, like chess.■ Simultaneous: at the same time.
○ Ender uses game theory a lot, especially against his leaders. He takes things he knows about his leaders and then says stuff to them. They react and ultimately Ender gets what he wants.
● Identify and analyze the use of symbolism in the novel (especially the Giant’s Drink game)
○ Giant’s Drink:■ Little boy/ bear/mouse: Ender is weak and powerless.■ Cats/furniture: Peter the cat is dangerous, but Ender can
handle him and Valentine protects him.■ Through the mousehole: leaving comfortable Earth for Battle
School■ Ducks/Mosquitoes: moving on from less
challenging/dangerous things■ Landslides: Not giving up, mastering a skill■ Giant’s Drink Challenge: breaking the rules to win, the
launch to Battle School, a turning point. BEATING THE IMPOSSIBLE
■ Bat: welcome to Fairyland■ Playground w/ wolf-children: Can’t play like a kid, feels bad
when he kills, forget morals to win?, “inner wolf”, playing w/ big kids now
○ Ender accidentally kisses the snake instead of killing it, it turns into Valentine
■ Valentine’s trust/ love■ thinking outside the box■ EVERYONE IN THE CROWD IS PETER!!!■ opposite of Giant’s drink■ Ender is good, not evil (the letter from Valentine)
● Identify and analyze the use of rhetorical appeals (logos, pathos, ethos) in the novel
○ Logos: logic, facts○ Pathos: passion, emotion○ Ethos: a speaker’s credibility, “testimonial” “authority”
● Ender’s leadership style is very hands-off. He tells his toon leaders what to do, and they can do it however they see fit. Ender’s military tactics are always novel, thinking outside the box. His opponents have never seen his strategies before.
● Understand Locke and Demosthenes and how their real stories are reflected in the novel
○ Demosthenes lived in Athens in the 3rd century B.C. He was an ambassador who favored direct confrontation when faced with a problem. He was opposed to the Macedonian takeover of Athens; he wanted Athens to be its own autonomous state. Valentine is not like Demosthenes because she doesn’t do direct confrontation.
○ John Locke lived in England. His ideas greatly influenced the American Constitution. Locke was a philosopher who favored a limited government that mainly protected an individual’s rights. He believed that monarchs could be overthrown by the people, and that everyone is entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness(and property). Peter is not like Locke because he doesn’t care about individual rights: he just wants to take over the world
● Understand the internal and external conflicts that appear in the novel ○ INTERNAL
■ Graff doesn’t want to hurt Ender, but does so anyway to save humanity
■ Ender doesn’t want to kill anyone but feels it necessary to protect himself
○ EXTERNAL■ Ender vs. Bully■ Humanity vs. Buggers■ Dink vs. The System
Make inferences/predictions● Understand the impact of perspective/point of view; identify shifts in
perspective ○ See effects of actions on more characters, engaging plot, less
unreliable narrator, understand the story better, show other’s perception of Ender, DRAMATIC IRONY !!!!!!
● Understand the components of an introduction, body paragraph and conclusion
○ Introduction■ Grabber■ Background■ Thesis
○ Body■ Reason■ Context/evidence/analysis■ “” quote“”■ Conclusion/transition
○ Conclusion■ Thesis Restated■ Reasons Restated■ Moralization (why do I care?)
● In-text citation:○ Words words word “quote quote quote” (Author #).
