1) I think the word theme means to find out what the whole story is about. I don’t think that you would know what the theme if you saw it because to know the theme you would really have to think about what the message is.
I think the standard is saying that you need to know the message they’re give off to know the theme.
2) Romanticism is made your imagination or could also be said to be things that are not real. Most of the stories took place in the nature away from the cities because this is where most people lived at the time. I think people really liked theses stories because they look their minds off of everyday things and took their immigrations on trips. People really loved theses stories because we could relate to them .it made it all little more fun to read because the people where jus like me and you. They where not big hero at first it took them time and effort to get there.
Rip van winkle is very good example romanticism because it tends to take your imagination on a trip. We all know you cannot sleep 20 years. He fall asleep and thought it was the next day but it was the next year. As he approached the village he met a number of people, but none
"Whom he new, which somewhat surprised him, for he had thought himself
Acquainted with every one in the country round". What they where saying in this part was he went back to town the next day and nothing was the same.
The very village was altered; it was larger and
more populous. What they where saying here was that he went back to town it was people he never saw before.
3)This is an example of romanticism because they are talking about you using your imagination. They where talking about nature and death as if they where a real person. For example in thanatopsis William Bryant says, “Go forth under the open sky, and list to nature’s teachings while from all around earth and her waters, and the depths of air comes a still voice.” You can’t really take to nature so you really have to use your imagination for this. In this they are saying you should not be sacred that everyone has to die. They’re celebration nature because this is where it takes place. For example in thanatopsis William Bryant says, “To be brothers to the insensible rock and the rude swalm turns with his share, and treads upon.” What he is saying in this that is you and rocks will be one when you die. No one was better then anyone else that when you die you will all be the same. This was an example of promotion of common people. A good example of this in thanatopsis William Bryant is, “thou salt lie down with patriarchs of the infarct world with kings, the powerful of the earth the wrise, the good, all in one mighty sepulcher.
4)ELAALRL1 The student demonstrates comprehension by identifying evidence (i.e., examples of diction, imagery, point of view, figurative language, symbolism, plot events and main ideas) in a variety of texts representative of different genres (i.e., poetry, prose [short story, novel, essay, editorial, biography], and drama) and using this evidence as the basis for interpretation.
I meet this because in every story I used evidence. For example, “I would have to say that the native were freer and had many different gods. For example one god was beauty and that if u thinks but this you are running with your daydreams. What they mean by this was beauty is so deep sometimes it can fool you in to believing people are who they are not. The Puritans where much different because they though everyone was going to hell and that gods save who he wants .For example God "saves" those he wishes - only a few are selected for salvation.” John Edwards's said, there is nothing bettewn you and hell but air". Their ideas of gods differ because the Native American has many gods and the puritans have one. One of the ways I see that they would clash would be because the native are very free people and the puritans have a rule for their ways of living.”
ELAALRL2 The student identifies, analyzes, and applies knowledge of theme in a work of American literature and provides evidence from the work to support understanding.
I meet this because you have to know the theme when you are reading a story to know what it is about. For example, “Romanticism is made your imagination or could also be said to be things that are not real. Most of the stories took place in the nature away from the cities because this is where most people lived at the time. I think people really liked theses stories because they look their minds off of everyday things and took their immigrations on trips. People really loved theses stories because we could relate to them .it made it all little more fun to read because the people where jus like me and you. They where not big hero at first it took them time and effort to get there.”
ELAALRL3 The student deepens understanding of literary works by relating them to their contemporary context or historical background, as well as to works from other time periods
I meet this because at this time everyone lived in city in to read this it helps them take their minds off every day things. For example, “Rip van winkle is very good example romanticism because it tends to take your imagination on a trip. We all know you cannot sleep 20 years. He fall asleep and thought it was the next day but it was the next year. As he approached the village he met a number of people, but none
"Whom he new, which somewhat surprised him, for he had thought himself
Acquainted with every one in the country round". What they where saying in this part was he went back to town the next day and nothing was the same.
The very village was altered; it was larger andMore populous. What they where saying here was that he went back to town it was people he never saw befoer
5)They compared nature and the world to humans perferaby man and how they worked from day to day. It seems like they felt work is the only way to keep everyday life going easy.I don’t think I really under should this writing. I think that it was a very good piece but it takes using your imagination to get this. What he is saying in this that when you go out into nature your its takes your mind away from everything. He says when he is out there he feel like he is one with god. I think that he is right when he says you need to be by yourself to be one with god. I think that he is doing a little too much when he says to have to go into nature to get all of this. But over all I think it was pretty good.
This is a good example of Transcendentalism because they really think that its jus you and god. They believed that if you where to go out into nature that you could talk to god because its jus you and him. They didn’t believe in sin because everyone was good.
And that when you go out into nature you could talk to god. An example of this is "standing on the bare ground-my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space- all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball. I am nothing. I see all."
He is sayings in this his body and everything is gone and he is in the sky and is one with god.
6)Self Reliance: By Ralph Waldo Emerson. The story Self-Reliance is talking about how much work and the thought of trusting no one was taking so seriously. It was trying to get at the way boys where raised up to be men. Working to them is a way to show their strength and manhood, and how their power was. ‘‘A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best’. This was a perfect example of how much work meant to them and their everyday life. I think what he was saying was you should go with what your heart is saying because this is what god wants.
This is a good example of Transcendentalism because they really think that it’s what god what you to do. They feel that god wants you to be different. So you should just do what you feel is right. This is a good example because they are going ageist what everybody thinks about you. One example of this is “a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.” What he is saying here is that you are going to look crazy but you shouldn’t care because god is with you.
7)The video was a very good example of Transcendentalism because the man was one with nature. He believed that it was just him and god and the animals. Something I thought was very cool was he lived out in the woods for 35 years by himself. An example from the text by Ralph Waldo Emerson is, “to go into solitude, a man needs to retire as much from his chamber as from society.” What he is saying in this is that you should go outside to think and talk to god. Because when you are with people it’s too much going on.

1)I think what they are trying to tell us that all lit. Is the say but said to be different. In lit they take us back in time and tell us about our ancestors. They also try to give us books that we can relate to so it makes reading a lot of funny because we can put our self in their place. I think they also try to relate was going on now and back then so they can see how their alike.
2)Beauty
So we all fall for itBut we do not know.It only prevails our perception.
Only to be fooled,by the truth we placed inside our false beliefs.Disappointments of pain.
Run with daydreams of fame.Not to be known.Only to be prone.
To those false beliefsThat fooled meinto loving you.
3)I think is a very nice poem I think its ture.this poem is tell how you can be fooled by how nice some one looks if that all you for in a person. I think to put it into my own words it would say something that looks nice is not always good for you.
4) I would have to say that the native were freer and had many different gods. For example one god was beauty and that if u thinks but this you are running with your daydreams. What they mean by this was beauty is so deep sometimes it can fool you in to believing people are who they are not. The Puritans where much different because they though everyone was going to hell and that gods save who he wants .For example God "saves" those he wishes - only a few are selected for salvation."John Edwards's said, there is nothing bettew you and hell but air". Their ideas of gods differ because the native American has many gods and the puritans have one. One of the ways I see that they would clash would be because the native are very free people and the puritans have a rule for their ways of living.
5)one of the new vocabulary words I have been using that I didn’t know, would have to be the world puritains.puritains means of 16th and 17th-century England was an associate of any number of religious groups advocating for more "purity" of worship and doctrine, as well as personal and group piety. For example of my new vocabs was age of reason which was a time in age that said god was not the reason for everything that since helped out a little .another vocab was Deism, which was a popular religious movement of the time . Edwards' Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, which was just another word for humanitarian God.
6) The different between the puritans and rationalists was sicence.The rationalists were about thing that I think we can relate to such as sicence and god. I think that the puritans where very smart people but they didn’t really have a very good understanding of life. For example They though according to john Edwards’s if god should take his hand from under you, would quickly fall into hell.the rationalists used what they seen around them to understand the world and how things worked. Ben Franklin flies a kite in a lightning storm this is a good example of what is now called sicence. Because he wanted to have an explanation for what lightning was and I think all since is the understanding of living things. The puritans just thought god was the reason for all of this. In today's society do we see some of the ideas we have read about in represented in our sicence class.
7)Ben Franklin was a good example of a rationalist because he was a very curious person and wanted to know how things worked around him. The rationalist really just wanted to know more then what people knew before them .they knew god didn’t make everything work that he got some help from science. an example an the text would be (temperance first as it tends to procure that head which is so necessary where constant vigilance was) page 93.my example proves he was an rationalist because he formed a hypothesis to see if he stopped eating and drinking as much would he be able to think better. He used data to back his info up, and we do this in science everyday.
8)
1) Sleep. Go to sleep at 9 to be well rested.
2) Drivin.drive on high ways more to get use to it.
3) Reading. Read everyday for 30 mins.
4) Friendship.makeing new friends and getting to know people.
5) Dressing. Knowing what’s in style.
6) Cooking. Make a meal everyday.
7) Eating. Make sure I get 3 meals in a day.
8) Running. Run everyday to keep my heart in shape.
9) Notebook. Keep a better notebook so I could study better.
10) Order. Clean my things around me.
11) Swearing. When I get mad cont to 10.
12) Studying. Come to school everyday.
13) Silence. Stop talking out of place if it’s not my turn.
I think by doing this I would become a better person by going by this list. Everything on here I think I need to work on this list. I think what you see what you need help with and take action you can get things done. This would really help me out a lot.
9)What I have learned was that you can relate what we read now a day to old story because they all come from the same roots. I did some work and I saw that most of the work was the same as Georgia Performance Standards. I think that my work did meet the standards because I did have a lot of evidence and that what they where looking for in the standards.

Georgia Performance Standards
I hink our whole out look for this class is to become a better student. all the words they give us we already know but for time to time i think we began to forget. for example point of view tell where they charters are coming from and what they are thinking about.some of the ones i think i forget are diction and symbolism.i think we will always see theses word and need to know them so that is why we see the words alot.
