ELAALRL2

1) ELAALRL2--Student identifies, analyzes, and applies knowledge of theme in a work of American literature and provides evidence from the work to support understanding

~This says that you will have to break the subject down and learn about it, you will also have to apply knowledge in your work using evidence to go with what you have already.

~Theme is basically the moral or the meaning of the story.


2) What about the story did you find particularly Romantic?

~That fact that Rip Van Winkle is a regular person and he acheives greats things....."I
have observed that he was a simple good-natured man; he was, moreover,
a kind neighbor, and an obedient hen-pecked husband."

~And when Rip slept for 20 years straight...."One taste provoked
another; and he reiterated his visits to the flagon so often that at length his
senses were overpowered, his eyes swam in his head, his head gradually
declined, and he fell into a deep sleep.--On waking, he found himself on the green knoll whence he had first seen the old man of the glen."

3) Does this poem illustrate all three of the main themes of Romanticism?





Focus on Imagination
~ Imagining that your beard can kill you

• “Bryant died in 1878 when his beard swallowed him while he was sleeping”

Celebration on Nature
~ Saying how beautiful nature really is

• “The golden sun,
  The planets, all the infinite host of heaven,
  Are shinning on the sad abodes of death
  Through the still lapse ages.”

Promotion on common people
~they are all real people they get sick and die
