The Declaration of Independence has four main parts:
* a preamble, or foreword, that announces the reason for the document
* a declaration of people's natural rights and relationship to government
* a long list of complaints against George III, the British king
* a conclusion that formally states America's independence
Helpful definitions:
unalienable: that may not be taken away
despotism: absolute power or control; tyranny
transient: passing away with time
usurpations: acts of wrongfully taking over a right or power that belongs to someone else
conjured: appealed to
consanguinity: blood relationship
acquiesce in the necessity which denounces: recognize that we must demand
parallelism: the use of similar grammatical forms to express ideas of equal importance
insurrections: an act or instance of rising in revolt, rebellion, or resistance against civil authority or an established government
List of complaints begins with "He..."
Why do they repeat it? to emphasize that it is the king who is doing it
Why do they make it personal? to put blame on the king
How does the D.I. anticipate its audiences resistance to change?
they show people what they are doing wrong and hope that this will help them change
How does the D.I. use parallelism? How does it impact the effectiveness of the piece?
by using he. It helps show all that is going wrong
parallelism: when a writer uses similar grammatical forms or sentence patterns to express ideas of equal importance.
What to you is the most convincing example stated in the D.I.? Why?
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Abraham Lincoln giving a speach in Gettysburg about what has happened there.
3. I think that he is a nice person and he cares about what happened becaseu it is the future of America. He thinks that the fight was pointless but he knows that we need to honour them
His speach was to lift the people up becaseu somany of them have died. He tells the people that they need to react so the others didn't die for no reason. He tries to lift everyone up

the fall of the house of usher
unity of effect, a single overall feeling
Poe's particular genius was for exploring the strange and fantastic, covexing, psychological terror through carefully chosen details and events
mood-the feeling or atmosphere
He recives a letter from a old friend that calls him to go to the house of usher.
He finds out that the brother and the sister are both sick.
The sister passes out and the brother barries her alive.
she comes back out and kills the brother
they both die and he runs away
as he is leaving the house falls down because the curse is over
They had a family tree with no branches going out
The brother had hightened seances and could hear everything.
they were all crazy

The Devil and Tom Walker
Kidd the pirate buried his treasure but never went back to get it.
The devil as he always does with buried treasure took it under his guardianship.
Tom walker lives with his wife. His wife would always try to hid things from him because she wanted it all to be hers. They lived in a run down house and don't have alot of money. His wife is strong and loud and they always got into fights.
One day he takes a shortcut home and goes to were it is said the indians had placed spells
He sits on a log and starts to kick around in the dirt and finds something hard. He digs it out and fings that it is a skull with a tomahawk in it.
A person apears. He is black and has red eyes. He is wearing somewhat indian clothes. he is the devil. the trees fall down when people die.
The trees have wealthy peoples names written in them.
The one that he was sitting on had just been cut down and said the name Crowninshield.
Tom asks him who he is and the devil starts telling him. tome says "The up shot of all which is that if i mistake not you are he commonly called Old Scratch" Old Scratch- the devil
the devil tells tom of the tresure and the conditions to get it.
Tom asks how he could know if what he is saying is true so the devil touches his head and says "There's my signature"
When tom gets home and looks in the mirror he sees a finger print burnt into his forhead
His wife tells him that in the paper it says tht Crowninshield had died. This is when he realizes that it is real. He tells his wife about what has happened and she tells him that he should do it because she wants the money. He tells her no because he doesn't think that it is worth it. She decides that if he wont she will and just keep all the money to herself.
she goes and explains about the man and says that she has to go back but doesn't say why.
She leaves again and doesn't come back and doesn't come back. Tom is concered expecially when he finds out that she has taken everything valuble with her.
nobody knows what really happened to her.
Tom went out looking for her and saw crows eating something and sees her apren and the valubles in the tree above it.
but when he climbs up the tree all he finds in it is a heart and liver.
Tom sees hair that looks like it came from the devil and thinks that Old Scratch must have had a tough time of it.
Tom goes back because he thinks that he should make the deal with the devil. the devil tells him that he should put the money into the black trafic but tom won't become a slave trader. so instead they decide that tom will be a usurer. a person whoo lends money especially at an ususually or unlawfully high rate of interest.
Tome opens up in Bostern and gets lots of custemers. he becomes very wealthy and builds a big house gets a carriage and a horse.
he decies that he is going to try to cheat the devil. he becomes a churchgoer and prays
he carries a bible around with him and he gets his horse ready in case he would ever have to make a get away from the devil.
He finially gets mad and cries out for the devil to come and take him.
the devil comes and puts him on the horse and the horse takes him awa in the storm with fire coming up on every step
every thing that he had ends up to the devil

notes
Gothic literature is characterized by grotesque characters, bizarre situations, and violent events.
Originating in Europe, but becoming popular in the US during the 19th century
Edgar Allan Poe, Nthaniel Hawthorne
Romanticism
1.Writters saw limitation of reason
2. Celebrated idividual spirit
3. Emotions
4. Imagiination- these are the basics of human nature
5. splenders of nature
6. Super natural
7. Atmosphere
8. Sentiment
9. Optimism
Washington Irving, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Transceadentalists
The philosophy of transcendentalism derived in part of Germany romanticism was based on a belief that transcendent forms of truth exist beyond reason and experience.
Waldo Emerson- every individual is capable of discovering this higher truth on his or her own through intuition
American Gothic
cavernous Gothic cathedrals
irregularly placed towers
high stained glass windows
gargoyles- small deformed creaturs
squatting on corners of cathedrals that wards off evil spirits
Gargoyle- grotesque creature
imaginative distortion of reality
Threshold of the unknown- that shadowy region where the fantastic the demonic and the insane reside
Dark side of individualism
When romatics looked at the individual they saw hope while the gothic saw the potential of evil
(Poe)dark medieval castles
decaying ancient estates
male narrators are insane
female- beautiful and dead(or dying)
extreme situations not just murder but live burials, physical, and mental torture, retribution from beyond the grave.
in such situations people reveal their true natures
-- fear, greed, vanity, mistrust, and betrayal

the crucible
elements of plot in drama
exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution
foil- a minor character whose traits contrast sharply with those of the main character
monologe- a long speech spoken by a single character to himself or herself, or to the audience
soliloquy- a monologue in which a character speaks his or her private thoughts aloud and appears to be unaware of the audience
aside- a short speech or comment that is delivered by a character to the audience, but that is beyond the hearing of other characters who are present
This is the true story of the Salem Witch Trials. It starts with the girls sick in bed. they are faking loss of appiet, and temporary loss of hearing and site. They were seen in the forest dancing and running around naked. They were out there with Tatuba who is from barbados and she was chanting so people thought they were talking to the devil.
It gets crazy and people can accus anybody of being a witch and it must be true because nobody would ever lie about a thing like that.
Abigal lived with John for awhile and he was caught being unfaithful to his wife with her. after Goody Protctor found out she kicked Abigal out. and Abigal was mad that she couldn't be with John so she wanted Goody Protoctor dead so she could be with him.
The thing that made this so bad is that the testimony of a church member who claimed to have seen a person's spirit performing witch craft was enough to sentence the accused to death.
Mary comes forward and tells them that it is all fake but the other girls start to copy her and act like she is possesing them and taking control of them.
If you said that you didn't do it you would be killed. if you admited it then you would have to live the rest of your life with people thinking that you were a witch.
so nobody really one your life was ruined if anybody wanted to accuse you of being a witch.
People started blaming everybody that they could.
Act 1
In this act it starts the story. it tells how the girls were in the forest singing and dancing. They are all ill and are faieting and having loss of apitie and temparary loss of site and hearing.
They all have symptoms that can very eaisly be faked. Abigal drinks blood from the chiken and wishes that Goody Practor is dead so that her and John can be together forever.
The puritans are very sticked when it comes to religion and their whole government and life is built around it.
When witchcraft is brought up lots of peole are shocked. and reverand Hale comes to investigate.
Act 2
Everybody is getting accused of being a witch. Everyday there is someone else getting accused of it because if you have any reason to want to get rid of a person you just have to say that you saw them with the devil.
Goody Practor is accused of being a witch by Abigal.
Act 3
Mary goes to the coart and tries to tell people that it is all made up.
The other girls start to copy her and try to convince the court that it is Mary taking control of them.
John sticks up for mary and says that Abigal is lying because she wants to be with him
He admitts that he had an affair with her and says that thats why his wife kicked her out.
to prove this Goody practor is to come in and say it beacuse she never lies. but when she comes in she lies because she wants to protect her husbands name.
Act 4
Abigal steals Parris money money and runs away. They start to kill people
they tell John that if he confeses he can be let go. but he doesn't because he won't lie and he doesn't want to give up his name because it is all he has and it is the only one he will ever get

i learned that they believed in witches and they were thought the devil would go inside of them and do harm to others.
they made witch cakes and gave them to dogs and if the dog started to act like the person acused then they were a witch.
They were acused and had a trial most of the accused were found guilty and hung or sent to prision to die.
19 men and women were hung because they were acused of witchcraft.
back then church and religion were related so the puritans ran the government. they had very harsh rules and that is how they go away with the salem witch trials.
they would acuse people of being witches for the dumbest reasons.
that winter some girls got sick and the doctor couldn't help them so it was said that it was witchcraft.

What ive learned.
In the Man to Send Rain Clouds i learned that we all have different veiws and we have to choose whats right. The Indians wanted to burry the grandpa but they really want rain. they belive that when people die they go up and give them rain. They really wanted the gods to give them rain so they went threw their usual cerimony and then had the holly water. another thing is that they do rain dances to get rain.
In the way to rainy mountain i learned how unfair the indians are treated. they had their land taken away and got pushed into little areas. they also had all freedom taken away from them. they were killed if they didn't leave their homes so the whites could have it.
In all the stories it shows how the whites just invade their land. it also shows that we presure our beliefs on them. like in the man to send rain clouds the preist was there because he was suposed to be teaching them christianity.
i learned that if people believe in something they will do whatever it takes to show it. the indians belive in shiwana and practice it all the time and have dances and chant. the settlers took over their land and started to push christianity on them. the pilgrams believed in their religion and wanted to practice it freely so bad that they made the long dangorus jerny to the US so they could.
I learned that the indians are smart and nice people. they are smart because they could grow their own crops. and they are nice because in the plymouth plantation they were nice to the pilgrams and helped them grow food. then they had thanksgiving

understanding structure- the way to rainy mountain
"A single knowll rises out of the plain in Oklahoma, north and west of the Wichita Range(56)."
"Yellowstone, it seemed to me, was the top of the world, a region of deep lakes and dark timber, canyons and waterfalls. But, beautiful as it is, one might have the sense of confinementthere. the skyline in all directions is close at hand, the high wall of the woods and deep cleavages of shade. There is a perfect freedom in the mountains, but it belongs to the eagle and the elk, the badger and the bear. the Kiowas reckoned their stature by the distance they could see, and they were bent and blind in the wilderness(58)."
"She was about seven when the last Kiowa Sun Dance was held in 1887 on the Washita River above Rainy Mountain Creek(59)."
"For more than a hundred years they had controlled the open range from the Smoky Hill River to the Red, from the headwaters of the Canadian to the fork of the Arkansas and Cimarron. In alliance with the Comanches, they had ruled the whole of the southern Plains. War was their sacred business, and they were among the finest horsemen the world has ever known. But warfare for the Kiowas was preeminently a matter of disposition rather than of survival, and they never understood the grim, unrelenting advance of the U.S. Cavalry. When at last, divided and illprovisioned, they were driven onto the Staked Plains in the cold rains of autumn, they fell into panic.(57)."
"She was a Christian in her later years, but she had come a long way about, and she never forgot her birthright(59)."
"Her only living daughter was with her when she died, and I was told that in death her face was that of a child(57)."

pueblo indians
indians have funural rituals. they dance and chant when they burry the dead. they belive that when they die they become cloud people and give the earth rain. death to them is not a bad thing it is just the part of life and to the death of them helps the others live longer
