Mrs. Donati's reading class covered many novels and short stories throughout the year including Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, A Tale of Two Cities, and My Brother Sam Is Dead. When studying short stories, the class focused on elements like plot, character, setting, point of view, tone, and theme. As an example, when reading The Dinner Party the class studied plot, and when reading A Nincompoop and Charles they examined theme and character respectively.

John Donne was a metaphysical poet who pioneered metaphysical poetry. The poem "The Flea" uses a flea as a biographical image, with the flea sucking the blood of both lovers, representing how they have become one. The lover asks his beloved not to kill the flea, seeing it as a symbol of their union. "Death, Be not Proud" is one of Donne's holy sonnets addressing death, arguing it should not be proud as it is subject to fate, chance, and kings, and only lives forever in war, poison, and sickness.Poems

This document provides an overview of prose poetry, including its history, defining characteristics, and ongoing debates. It traces the origins of prose poetry to 19th century French poets like Baudelaire who were pushing boundaries of both content and poetic form. Key characteristics identified include high patterning, rhythmic repetition, and compactness within prose-like paragraphs rather than line breaks. However, prose poetry remains a controversial hybrid genre rejected by some as too formless. The document examines examples and defenses of the genre, noting its popularity among feminist and experimental writers. It explores related forms like lyric essays and video essays that also blend genres in subversive ways.Paperno.4:Indian Writing In English

The document discusses using storytelling to teach simple verbs to students of English as a second language. It describes how storytelling incorporates listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. Through listening to stories, students learn new verbs which the teacher writes on the board. Students then look up the meanings and write them in their notebooks, improving their reading and writing. The teacher asks students questions about the story to encourage speaking practice. This self-learning approach builds confidence without explicitly teaching grammar rules. The teacher should make the story visually clear and highlight example sentences to reinforce learning.Cultural studies

Eklavya was a Nishada prince who revered Dronacharya as his guru despite being from a lower caste. He learned archery on his own by creating a clay image of Dronacharya and practicing excessively. However, when Eklavya's skills surpassed Dronacharya's star pupil Arjuna, Dronacharya demanded Eklavya's right thumb as guru dakshina. This highlights the marginalization of lower castes in ancient India and questions the type of role models society creates when differences in caste persist in practical life.Renaissance literature
