  • Slide 2
  • Literature TOK Questions Is a work of literature enlarged or diminished by interpretation? What makes something a good or bad interpretation? How can a literary work of fiction, which is by definition non-factual, convey knowledge? What is the proper function of literatureto capture a perception of reality, to teach or uplift the mind, to express emotion, to create beauty, to bind a community together, to praise a spiritual power, to provoke reflection or to promote social change? Does familiarity with literature itself provide knowledge and, if so, of what kindknowledge of facts, of the author, of the conventions of the form or tradition, of psychology or cultural history, of oneself? What knowledge of literature can be gained by focusing attention on the author? Can, or should, authors intentions and the creative process itself be understood through observing authors or knowing something of their lives? Is the creative process as important as the final product, even though it cannot be observed directly? Are an authors intentions relevant to assessing the work? Can a work of art contain or convey meaning of which the artist is oblivious? What knowledge of literature can be gained by focusing attention solely on the work itself, in isolation from the author or the social context? What knowledge of literature can be gained by focusing attention on its social, cultural or historical context? How important is the study of literature in individual/ethical development? In what ways? What constitutes good evidence within the study of literature? What knowledge can be gained from the study of literature? What is lost in translation from one language to another? Why? Can literature express truths that cannot be expressed in other ways? If so, what sort of truths are these? How does this form of truth differ from truth in other areas of knowledge?

  • Warm-up. How does the author use voice, tone, mood and description to create a sense of place? What can you infer about the narrator and what the story will be like? In LA, you cant do anything unless you drive. Now I cant do anything unless I drink. And the drink-drive combination, it really isnt possible out there. If you so much as loosen your seatbelt or drop your ash or pick your nose, then its an Alcatraz autopsy with the questions asked later. Any indiscipline, you feel, any variation, and theres a bullhorn, a set of scope sights, and a coptered pig drawing a bead on your rug. So what can a poor boy do? You come out of the hotel, the Vraimont. Over boiling Watts the downtown skyline carries a smear of Gods green snot. You walk left, you walk right, you are a bank rat on a busy river. This restaurant serves no drink, this one serves no meat, this one serves no heterosexuals. You can get your chimp shampooed, you can get your dick tattooed, twenty-four hour, but can you get lunch? An should you see a sign on the far side of the street flashing BEEF- BOOZE- NO STRINGS, then you can forget it. The only way to get across the road is to be born there. All the ped-xing signs say DONT WALK, all of them, all the time. That is the message, the content of Los Angeles: dont walk. Stay inside. Dont walk. Drive. Dont walk. Run! I tried the cabs. No use. The cabbies are all Saturnians who arent even sure whether this is a right planet or a left planet. The first thing you have to do, every trip, is teach them how to drive. MARTIN AMIS Money (1984)

  • Analytical Essays and Thesis Statement You will take either a text based stance (builds an argument by focusing on specific features of the literary text in question) or a context based stance (builds an argument by focusing on the context in which a literary text exists). Thesis should make a claim about the work that is arguable, specific and manageable (can be proven in the appropriate amount of space. It should have a statement and a comment - an observation and a why or how.
  • Slide 13

  • Thesis Statement Your thesis should make a claim about the work that is arguable, specific and manageable (can be proven in the appropriate amount of space. It should have a statement and a comment - an observation and a why, a how, or an explanation of why it is important. Are these good thesis statements, and if not, how can they be changed. In Snow White, attractive women are depicted as helpless and men are so enthralled by helplessness as to appear necrophiliac. In The Awakening, the ocean functions as a symbol of both freedom and death, demonstrating Chopins belief that in the oppressive society of the Gilded Age, women can only achieve liberation through social suicide. Mademoiselle Reisz expresses the preoccupations of the Victorian era in her music. While Ednas servants in The Awakening, are largely unnamed and rarely discussed, their existence is pivotal because they provide a critique of Ednas middle class pre-occupation with herself, suggesting that for nonwhite women of the lower classes, self-actualization is not even an option.

  • In his review of Their Eyes Were Watching God, Richard Wright, a Harlem Renaissance wrote: Miss Hurston voluntarily continues in her novel the tradition which was forced upon the Negro in the theatre, that is, the minstrel technique that makes the "white folks" laugh. Her characters eat and laugh and cry and work and kill; they swing like a pendulum eternally in that safe and narrow orbit in which America likes to see the Negro live: between laughter and tears. Is this criticism fair?

  • Body Paragraph Peer Edit COLOR CODE Topic Sentence Concrete Detail Commentary Concluding Sentence Does the topic sentence support the thesis? Do all concrete details and commentary support the topic sentence? Are quotes and paraphrases smoothly integrated and documented? Is commentary insightful and meaningful? Possible errors: Is commentary generic? Does it drift from the topic? Is it really just more concrete detail? Is it repetitive? Is it contradictory? Are there multiple types of sentences such as compound, complex, and compound/complex?
  • Slide 87
  • Sentence types Compound: In Their Eyes Were Watching God, Zora Neale Hurston uses Logan Killicks to explore the implications of slavery; he is a representation of the protected, respectable life that was never available to Nanny. Complex: Since Zora Neal Hurston uses Janies hair to symbolize her womanhood, freedom and sexuality, the staid citizens of Eatonville are scandalized when the 40-year-old Janie returns from her adventure with Tea Cake wid her hair swinging down her back lak some young gal (2). Compound/Complex: Because Hurston believed in the power of voice to communicate culture, she used dialect to explore the importance of storytelling in the creation of meaning, but she used more formal English to create the persona of an educated and intellectual author/narrator. Fragment (Dependent word): Because Janie believed that she would only be fulfilled if she found a lover who recreated her girlhood dream of fertile, blooming sexuality as embodied by the pear tree.

  • Slide 128
  • Revision Considerations What are the themes of my poem? What is the mood or tone? Cut or adapt stuff that doesnt address these themes or fit with the mood and tone. If youve chosen to revise a formal poem, does the form support the theme, mood and tone? Is there anything in my poem that seems like filler doesnt give new meaning? If so, cut it. Also look for filler words like articles and adverbs like Very. Cut these when you can. How are my examples of figurative language supporting my theme and supporting the tone and mood or the poem? If they arent, change or eliminate them. How does the sound of my poem fit with the mood and tone? Read the poem out loud and adapt rhythm, words, punctuation, line breaks. Are there any cognitive leaps in my poem? What takes place during the leap and how is it indicated in the poem. Consider word choice: how is each of my words powerful in the poem? Eliminate any cliches and consider synonyms and changing word order to make word choice interesting, surprising, and supportive of your mood, tone and theme. Consider your line breaks and punctuation (caesuras, enjambment). Do they highlight important ideas, create multiple meanings of words, highlight relationships between ideas. Adapt as necesssary. Consider the shape of your poem on the page, play with structure and line breaks so that you feel that your form complements your meaning.
