Unit 8 Realism

1. I think this unit would be going over imagination, realism and social problems and how if we could solve it. I think this unit is different than the other units we've done because its stating more realist things and solution than the others.

2a.
A detailed description of the setting : "She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength. But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought. "


2b. The social issue that chopin was trying to solve was the issue of the person that approached her and that was dieing before her eyes.


In part 2a of this story this was showing realism in a way because it shows how she used all the specific details to describe what she wanted the reader to know that she was describing like when she gave all the specific details about the lady/girl that she was talking about. Which gave you a real image of what she might have looked like.  In part 2b of the story it was talking about the social issue of the story and it gave you every detailed thing about hoe she was passing away before her eyes and every feeling and pain she felt.


3. In the story "The Battle With Mr.Covey" was basically about Fredrick Douglass being a slave and how he got treated as a slave . Douglass was trying to bring to light how slavery wasn't right and how he was trying to stop slavery.
    Douglass was beating and he was treated wrong when he didn't do things that his slave owner wanted him to do but at the end Douglass got his revenge when when he was doing what he was told to do Mr. Covey tried to attack Douglass when he was cleaning the stables and ended up getting hurt himself .
   Douglass was trying to make the facts clear that slavery isn't needed and how it is very bad and how it isn't good for nobody and how slavery is wrong.


4. The example i chose is the movie "Precious" its basically about a young girl who has gotten pregnant at a young age and she currently is pregnant and her mother is a mean mom who is jealous of her and calls her names and beats on her when she thinks about her pass and how her mothers ex-husband beat her and raped her and got her pregnant. The reason why i chose this one is because its based on a true story and  these things happen to young girls every day, and ts real life stuff.


5a. What i liked best out of these units was Dark Romanticism.

5b.  There was once a little girl who lived so bad her parents treated her like a slave they never gave her food, they never gave her clean clothes, and they never treated her like a real daughter or showed that they loved her the way they said they did. Little Sarah treated them with a smile and a yes ma'am and yes sir every day but she had set in her mind "only when i reach the age of 18 I'm going to get my revenge" soon as little Sarah's birthday came she was the Sarah they never knew she started not doing what they said to do and she started acting more devilish so devilish and evil that she decided to poison the meal she had made for them one day and killed them both.


5c. I think my story represents dark romanticism very well because it gives a brief detail of how the girl had some kind of evilness even though she had been trying to play it of with being nice for all those years.

6. I think i meet the standards for this unit because i stated every thing that was asked to do i gave every description of what was needed. In this unit it was about realism and i think i covered every part of what it means, how to use it, and how it differs from the other units we went over very well.
