I am self reliant

self reliance notes
To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men

Do not think the youth has no force, because he cannot speak to you and me. Hark! in the next room his voice is sufficiently clear and emphatic.

You must court him: he does not court you. But the man is, as it were, clapped into jail by his consciousness.

He would utter opinions on all passing affairs, which being seen to be not private, but necessary, would sink like darts into the ear of men, and put them in fear.

Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members.

I am ashamed to think how easily we capitulate to badges and names, to large societies and dead institutions.

doctrine-

philanthropist

succumb

I wish it to be sound and sweet, and not to need diet and bleeding. I ask primary evidence that you are a man, and refuse this appeal from the man to his actions.

I cannot consent to pay for a privilege where I have intrinsic right. Few and mean as my gifts may be, I actually am, and do not need for my own assurance or the assurance of my fellows any secondary testimony.

ostentation

Their every truth is not quite true

chagrins

The other terror that scares us from self-trust is our consistency

Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again

To be great is to be misunderstood.

Honor is venerable to us because it is no ephemeris

Literature Analysis #2

1. Briefly summarize the plot of the novel you read, and explain how the narrative fulfills the author's purpose (based on your well-informed interpretation of same).

In the story "Be careful what you wish for" by R.L. Stine the plot is first helping the lady who grants wishes.Then saying the wishes but carefully and not taking all the wishes at once and lastly be careful what you say.

2. Succinctly describe the theme of the novel. Avoid clichés.

In the story the theme is giving Samantha three wishes but the wishes were granted as close as possible to the wishes but not always right and ruined life's.

3. Describe the author's tone. Include a minimum of three excerpts that illustrate your point(s).

The author tone of the author was mixed emotions. One emotion was happy. Another one was sadness. Lastly was a fierce emotion. The author tone changed from happy to scared when Samantha wishes that she was better then the whole basketball team because the wish made everyone weak but her.

4. Describe a minimum of ten literary elements/techniques you observed that strengthened your understanding of the author's purpose, the text's theme and/or your sense of the tone. For each, please include textual support to help illustrate the point for your readers. (Please include edition and page numbers for easy reference.)

Setting: is taken place at the school, forest, and at Samantha house. I know these places are the plots because that where the author told the reader.
Conflict: Samantha didn't get along with the other girls and was the worst player on the basketball team.

Point of view: Third Person

Characters aren't people, but they often provide the most compelling connection with a text.

1. Describe two examples of direct characterization and two examples of indirect characterization.
- Direct characterization- When Judith and Anna got into a fight.
-Direct characterization- When Judith tripped Samantha on purpose.
-Indirect characterization- When Samantha wishes for Judith to disappear.
Indirect characterization- When Samantha turned into a bird.

Why does the author use both approaches, and to what end (i.e., what is your lasting impression of the character as a result)?

The author uses indirect and direct characterization to make the reading interesting. My last impression on the story was does Judith ever take back her wish.

2. Does the author's syntax and/or diction change when s/he focuses on character? How? Example(s)?

Yes because Judith went from being mean to Sam to being nice to Sam.

3. Is the protagonist static or dynamic? Flat or round? Explain.

It dynamic because all the changing in whishes and emotions.

4. After reading the book did you come away feeling like you'd met a person or read a character? Analyze one textual example that illustrates your reaction.

Yes and No because I know the Characters attitude but it changes from the wishes so I quite didn't get to met the rest of Judith.
