[SOLVED] Pick one quote and identify the source for the quote or sculpture
1. Pick one quote and identify the source for the quote or sculpture, i.e. the title under which it appears. Who wrote it.
2. Explain its context. If you pick a sculpture, explain what method you think the sculptor used. Whether it is open or closed. Then you might explain its subtextual themes such as the ideals expressed in the sculptor. Use another quote from text to support your reading of the quote. For instance, if you picked Hamlet, then cite another part of that work or that poem which you feel speaks to your reading. Your reading is the subtext. One of those issues is the narrator’s loneliness or the odd juxtaposition of images in all the poems. How does the poem use rhyme, rhythm, metaphor, imagery, or meter to convey meaning? For any of them, you need to explain what these concepts are. Then why they either matter or do not matter to you.
Your reading and reaction might have broader implications too. For instance, do you see any connection between the quote and the art we have discussed in class?
3. Finally, try to relate it to our lives, why and how does it resonant with you. Be specific.
Quote:
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep
Quote:
: To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether ’tis Nobler in the mind to suffer
The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them: to die, to sleep.
Quote:
The population ages but never graduates.
On hot afternoons they sweat the final in the park
and when it’s cold they shiver around the stoves
reading disorganized essays out loud.
A bell rings on the hour and everybody zigzags
in the streets with their books.
Quote:
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs ,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
Quote:
He picked up the two heavy bags and carried them around the station to the other tracks. He looked up the tracks but could not see the train. Coming back, he walked through the bar-room, where people waiting for the train were drinking. He drank an Anis at the bar and looked at the people. They were all waiting reasonably for the train. He went out through the bead curtain. She was sitting at the table and smiled at him.
Quote:
They went off and I got aboard the raft, feeling bad and low, because knowed very well I had done wrong,
and I see it warn’t no use for me to try to learn to do right; a body that don’t get started right when he’s little ain’t got no show
— when the pinch comes there ain’t nothing to back him up and keep him to his work, and so he gets beat
Quote:
A long suburb of red brick houses, — some with patches of garden-ground,
where coal-dust and factory smoke darkened the shrinking leaves, and coarse rank flowers;
and where the struggling vegetation sickened and sank under the hot breath of kiln and furnace,
making them by its presence seem yet more blighting and unwholesome than in the town itself,
— a long, flat, straggling suburb passed, they came by slow degrees upon a cheerless region,
where not a blade of grass was seen to grow; where not a but put forth its promise in the spring; where nothing green could live
but on the surface of the stagnant pools, which here and there lay idly sweltering by the black roadside.
Quote:
Do you feel better?’ he asked. ‘
I feel fine,’ she said. ‘There’s nothing wrong with me. I feel fine
