Create a post for your blog entitled "Thinking Outside the Box" in which you
compare how Plato and Sartre describe the limitations of our thinking and imply
solutions to the problem. Be sure to analyze their literary techniques,
especially their use of allegory and extended metaphor.
Both Plato and Sartre describe the limitations of our thinking through "Allegory of Cave" and "No Exit." They both send a message of restriction through an extended metaphor. In "Allegory of Cave" the prisoners are locked up in the dark cold cave. They only see the shadows on the wall. Their thinking is limited in there, they just stay in the cave becasue they just want to stick with the reality they have. And in "No Exit", Estella, and Inez are extremely flawed individuals stuck in Hell. All they see in there is all they think.

1. Describe two examples of direct characterization and two examples of indirect characterization. Why does the author use both approaches, and to what end (i.e., what is your lasting impression of the character as a result)?
Diarist is a indirect character because the reader can find out her characterics by how she acts. Since this is in a diary-style of novel, she does not directly tell her who she is. We don't even know her name.
It is hard to choose characters becasue diarist is the only character that appears in the story often. Other charcters are people who appears for little bit to give the diarist hard time.
2. Does the author's syntax and/or diction change when s/he focuses on character? How? Example(s)?

This book is a diary-style so she does not change her syntax and diction when she focuses on characters. She does not describe each characters deeply becasue they are not the "main" character in the story. They appears for little bit.
3. Is the protagonist static or dynamic? Flat or round? Explain.
The protagonist of the novel is dynamic and round. In the beginning of the novel she was a ordinary bright 15 year old gir. But after she moves to the place she never been before and she gets into drug, she becomes gloomy and sad everyday.
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.
I would love to meet the diarist. I feel very sad about her. She had to go through all these difficulties because she could not get care from her parents. They were so busy. That is why she made this diary to talk about her problems. At the end, we know that she died when she finally finds the happiness of her life. I wish we can go back time and I can meet her to tell her that I care about her and maybe we can become a great friend.

Sonnet
Hear me people in the cave
Listen to me, people in chain
Don't be afraid and be brave
Step outside and throw away the pain.
From the fire and flame,
by the chain and the shadow,
several prisoners with unknown name
are living in the locked up show
All they need is a little courage
a little push to see the bright sunlight
now they walk across the bridge
getting away from the dark, flame night
No one belongs in the cave
but people that can be free is someone brave.
Listen to me, people in chain
Don't be afraid and be brave
Step outside and throw away the pain.

Literary Analysis #3
Cannery Row
By. John Steinbeck
GENERAL
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).
This novel starts with explaining the town in Monteray and the town people. Mack and boys are a group of unemployed boys, trouble makers, yet "resourceful men who inhabit a converted fish-meal shack on the edge of a vacant lot down on the Row" in the town. They want to throw a thank-you party for Doc who helps them very nicely. Soon, all of the town people get involved in the party. However, the party didn't go too well, it went out of control. When Doc comes back to his house, he sees that his house and his lab are ruined, also Doc's mood. Town people feels bad for Doc and boys decide to throw another party that Doc will get happy and that actually work. This time, they put more careful effort into it, and the party was very successful. And the novel ends with Doc cleaning and thinking about the life after the party.
2. Succinctly describe the theme of the novel. Avoid cliches.
The theme of the novel would be lonliness. Even though they are busy with their work, they find themselves very lonely. The most lonley character in the novel is Doc which Steinbeck described him “lonely and set-apart man” (92). At first, we think his doesn't care, but we can see see that he is very lonely throughout the novel. And meeting Mack and boys, eventhough they are very annoying, he gets his lonliness away from him.
3. Describe the author's tone. Include a minimum of three excerpts that illustrate your point(s).
The tone of this novel is very calm. there were not many exciting or happy or sad parts. it was mostly calm and quiet.
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.)
Conflict : when Mack and boys ruined Doc's house and laboratory for having 'out-of-control' party.
Setting: Every events happen in the town in Monteray.
Mood: Calm, quiet, and steady.
Point-of-view: 3rd person.
Syntax- The author focused on lengthy descriptions than dialogue.

Can't find anymore :(
CHARACTERIZATION
1. Describe two examples of direct characterization and two examples of indirect characterization. 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 direct characters are Mack and the boys. They are very straight out and they do whatever they do. The indirect character is Doc. He is very quiet and emotionless character. It is hard to understand his feeling until Steinbeck describe them in lenghty description.
Author used this to show emphasize the difference between Doc and Mack and boys and how they get along at the end.
2. Does the author's syntax and/or diction change when s/he focuses on character? How? Example(s)?
No, syntax and diction stay neutral through out the novel. Author uses lengthy description and his diction is very simple. Nothing change.
3. Is the protagonist static or dynamic? Flat or round? Explain.
The protagonist is round but static. Doc is very quiet and calm through out the whole novel. His characteristic does not change but he does change his view of his town friends. He starts to trust them and rely on them.

I would love to meet Doc. He seems like a very nice and calm person. And I love those kind of people. They are not in any hurry or too talkative. PERFECT for me :)

Sonnet
Red Blushed And All Cut UpBy Paul McCann
Talking to myself there
Someone had overheard.
I was lost for a word.
There was nothing to share.
Embarrassed I was there.
Left awkward and absurd .
A broken wingless bird.
With nowhere to fly there.
Caught red faced there was I.
Didn't want to be seen.
I just wanted to die.
I just wanted to scream.
I'm so terribly shy.
Lost for words it would seem.
AP Hamlet PLM
So,, sorry for the late post, I was out of town this whole weekend :(
http://www.pathguy.com/hamlet.htm
This website is very useful. It has very descriptive summary of each chapters, the backgrounds of the Hamlet, and the themes of the play. And it is not just listed, it very descriptive and it is easy to understand them. If I didn't read Hamlet and found this website, I would have know the story and even the background of the play!
http://2011apenglish.blogspot.com/2010/11/hamlet-test-monday-or-tuesday-or-both.html
When I found this website, I thought it was very interesting! It is just like our english blog. It has the quotes from the Hamlet, essays, questions, and more. It may not be descriptive like other professional websites but since we get to see comments from other students, I get to learn all those different perspectives!
http://apbridges.blogspot.com/
I found another blog! And this one is very recent one. I think this is one of the AP teacher's blog. It has all the Hamlet notes, videos, lesson plans. I think it is very interesting to see other classes using blog!
http://wrhsblogs.pasco.k12.fl.us/users/dquarrella/search/?q=hamlet
This blog is very useful too! It has reviews, questions, essay topics, videos and many more. I think this is AP teacher's blog too. It has many files so we can keep them and use it for study Hamlet! And this blog is pretty recent so it can help alot.

Lastly, this blog is very neat. It has all the short but descriptive summary of each scenes and study guides. It is pretty old but it would not effect that much of difference.

This website is very useful. It has very descriptive summary of each chapters, the backgrounds of the Hamlet, and the themes of the play. And it is not just listed, it very descriptive and it is easy to understand them. If I didn't read Hamlet and found this website, I would have know the story and even the background of the play!

When I found this website, I thought it was very interesting! It is just like our english blog. It has the quotes from the Hamlet, essays, questions, and more. It may not be descriptive like other professional websites but since we get to see comments from other students, I get to learn all those different perspectives!
