| It's pretty cold up here; I'd rather be writing a CWP. |
* Open
* Quiz take-n'-retake
* Contests
* Satire
- Dr. Wheeler's Definition: (this is a term to define in your binder notes)"An attack on or criticism of any stupidity or vice in the form of scathing humor, or a critique of what the author sees as dangerous religious, political, moral, or social standards."
- The tone of a satire can be anywhere from playful and fun to dark and caustic.
- Monte Python on
- Satire employs art as a mirror to society.
- CWPishnessThe following love-themed examples are not satires, per se, but do feature one or more elements of satire (humorous inversion of a social expectation, etc.)
- Elizabeth Bishop - "One Art"
- Dorothy Parker - "Love Song"
- Shakespeare's Sonnet 130
- Thomas Peacock - "I Dug, Beneath the Cypress Shade"
* A Midsummer Night's Dream (for those finished who want to read ahead)
- Reno's Classes only
- We are going to try out an app called Subtext, the latest in interactive e-books. If you don't already have it, please get it. You must have the latest OS to do this, as I'm told. If you cannot, go to the ARC sometime over the next couple of days because I want to begin using it.
- Once you have the app, you'll need to log in using either your Facebook account or your gmail account, the one that the school gave you, I believe. If you don't know it, then look it up or go to Student Services.
- To join Reno's group, called English 200, you'll need the following code: MVXHJOAX.
- Now select Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice from the English 400 bookshelf.
- (Reno)
- Finalize your Rough Draft (RD)
- Bring a hard copy Final Draft (FD) to class on Monday
- Submit an electronic copy of your essay to turnitin.com through Focus
- (see instructions above) Get Subtext app and download A Midsummer Night's Dream (the one with the flowers on the cover)
