The document discusses different types of folk literature that Animal Farm could be categorized as, including fairy tales, parables, fables, and allegories. It provides definitions for each: fairy tales use imagination and magic to teach lessons, parables reveal religious or moral truths through comparisons, fables feature talking animals to convey messages, and allegories use symbols throughout the narrative to represent abstract concepts. While Animal Farm has elements of different types, such as talking animals and moral messages, it is most accurately described as an allegory, where every element represents a deeper political meaning beyond the literal story.MLA Citations 2009

Formal Vs Informal WritingMedway High School
油
The document provides guidelines for formal writing style. It recommends introducing the title, author, and theme of a novel in the first paragraph of a thematic essay. The author's last name should be used after introducing their full name, rather than their first name alone. Text citations from the novel should be selective and follow MLA format. Formal writing should avoid slang, abbreviations, contractions, personal pronouns, addressing the teacher, profanity, and directly copying words; instead using original language and sophisticated vocabulary.Jabberwocky
JabberwockyMedway High School
油
The poem "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll is a nonsense poem that uses made-up words and nonsense creatures. It tells the story of a young man who goes on a quest to slay the Jabberwocky monster after his father warns him of its claws and jaws. He finds and battles the Jabberwocky, cutting off its head with his vorpal blade. He then returns home victorious to the praise of his father. The poem uses nonsense words, creative language, and a simple plot to create a whimsical story.Understanding Diction
Understanding DictionMedway High School
油
This document discusses elements of poetry and fiction such as diction, vocabulary, syntax, and analyzes the poem "The Whiskey on Your Breath" by Theodore Roethke. It notes that the line "Such waltzing was not easy" emphasizes the dance is difficult from a child's perspective. The lines about the mother's "countenance" being unable to "unfrown itself" give emphasis to her disapproval and intensify the danger of the situation. The poem is ultimately about a father who drinks too much and physically abuses his son while dancing.Understanding Symbolism
Understanding SymbolismMedway High School
油
Symbolism in literature refers to the use of symbols to represent complex ideas. Symbols are objects, characters, or places that represent something beyond their literal meaning. Authors use symbols frequently and provide details about them to represent important concepts and issues. To understand symbolism, readers should familiarize themselves with the author and historical context, pay attention to their own emotional responses to symbols, and consult other analyses to aid their interpretation. Symbols allow authors to succinctly communicate rich, complicated ideas.Haiku
HaikuMedway High School
油
Haiku is a 3-line form of Japanese poetry that focuses on nature. It typically follows a 5-7-5 syllable structure without rhyming. Haiku aims to vividly describe a scene or moment in just 17 syllables to evoke imagery in the reader's mind. Examples are provided of famous Haiku poems by Jack Kerouac and Billy Collins that showcase this brevity of expression through references to nature and everyday objects.How To Take Notes Note Taking Systems
How To Take Notes Note Taking SystemsMedway High School

The document describes several note taking systems:
- The Cornell method uses a format with cues in the left margin to organize and review notes.
- Outlining indents subpoints to show relationships and importance. It requires more thought but clearly shows organization.
- Mapping uses visual representations to relate ideas. It maximizes understanding and critical thinking.
- Charting uses columns to categorize information, making comparisons and relationships easy to review.
- The sentence method writes each point on its own line but doesn't show relationships clearly.Poetic Forms

Point Of View And ThemeMedway High School
油
The document discusses point of view and theme in literature. It explains that point of view refers to the perspective from which a story is told, such as first person, second person, third-person objective, third-person limited, or omniscient.
