What Cornell Notes looks like

• The cool kids call them C-notes

4
Why bother with Cornell notes?

• In 1885, Hermann Ebbinghaus did extensive
  research around the idea of forgetting. In his
  book, Memory A Contribution to Experimental
  Psychology, he mapped out the rate at which the
  average human forgets information over time.

5

• Ebbinghaus went on to examine how frequently a
  student would need to revisit information in
  order to regain near perfect recall.  His
  research evinces the brains ability to retain
  information, when we revisit the information
  during key times.

6
The University of Waterloo put both of them
together and came up with this
7

• The idea is that the Cornell notes setup builds
  in ways to review your notes at those critical
  points by hiding or revealing different parts of
  the material so you can quiz yourself.

Freaky Friday Warmup 6

• He was a year older than I, skinny, brown as a
  chocolate bar, his hair orange, his hazel eyes
  full of mischief and laughter.
• Esmerelda Santaigo, When I was Puerto Rican
• Look carefully at the way this sentence is
  written. All of the words that follow the word I
  are used to describe the he of the sentence.
  They are adjectives and adjective phrases. This
  is not the way words are usually ordered in
  English. (Usually, adjectives are right before
  the nouns they modify, or at least next to them.)
  What effect does this word order have on the
  meaning of the sentence?
• Placing all of the adjective phrases one after
  the other is called layering. What effect does
  this layering have on the impact of the sentence?

26

• But that is Coopers way frequently he will
  explain and justify little things that do not
  need it and then make yup for this by as
  frequently failing to explain important ones that
  do need it. For instance he allowed that astute
  and cautious person, Deerslayer-Hawkeye, to throw
  his rifle heedlessly down and leave it lying on
  the front where some hostile Indians would
  presently be sure to find it a rifle prized by
  that person above all things else in the earth
  and the reader hers not work of explanation of
  that strange act. There was a reason, but it
  wouldnt bear exposure. Cooper meant to get a
  fine dramatic effect out of the finding of the
  rifle by the Indians, and he accomplished this at
  the happy time but all the same, Hawkeye could
  have hidden the rifle in a quarter of a minute
  where the Indians could not have found it. Cooper
  couldnt think of any way to explain why Hawkeye
  didnt do that, so he just shirked the difficulty
  and did not explain at all. Mark Twain,
  Coopers Prose Style, Letters from the Earth

  patterns and for breaks in patterns. When you
  feel youre getting the hang of that, start
  branching out into some of the specialized
  terminology.

The Salem Custom House
The Custom House                                 
     
The Custom House at Salem Maritime NHS is the last of 13 Custom Houses in the city. There has been a Custom House in Salem since 1649, collecting taxes on imported cargos first for the British Government during the Colonial period, then for the American Government after the establishment of theU. S. Customs Service in 1789. This Custom House was built in 1819 and housed offices for the officers of the U.S. Customs Service, as well as an attached warehouse, the Public Stores, used for the storage of bonded and impounded cargo. The Custom House symbolized the Federal Government's presence in Salem, requiring the architects to design an impressive building. High ceilings, a sweeping staircase, and beautifully carved woodwork all contribute to a feeling of strength and stability. The Salem Custom House was used by the U. S. Customs Service into the 1930s, and the furnishings reflect the long use of the building. Images and Information Courtesy of the National Park Service Website NPS.org

• The Collector's offices were furnished with rich
  colors and fine furniture. The furniture in these
  offices was purchased by the Customs Service in
  1873.
• In 1826, a wooden eagle was placed on the roof.
  It was carved by Salem craftsman Joseph True, and
  its original cost was 50.00. In 2004, the
  original eagle was replaced with a fiberglass
  replica. After several years of conservation
  work, the Joseph True eagle will be going on
  display in the Custom House in 2007.

  House look like?

American Romanticism

• Backlash against 18th century Enlightenment which
  focused on science as a way to find truth
• Builds on British Romanticism which started at
  the turn of the 19th century, many see an
  influence of the French Revolution. Seen in the
  works of British poets William Wordsworth and
  Samuel Coleridge. Builds to Transcendentalism
• Characteristics of American Romantic Literature
• Distrust of civilization and cities
• Nostalgia for the past
• Focus on individual freedom
• Appreciation of the beauty of nature
• Interest in the supernatural

46
It Might Be American Romantic Literature if

• Hero seems youthful, innocent
• Heroes love nature and hate civilization
• Heroes distrust women who are seen as
  civilizing and constraining
• Heroes often journey from the city to nature
• Getting away from cities allows the hero to focus
  on using their imagination and find truth in
  nature that cant exist in a city
• Often requires a strong suspension of disbelief
• In European literature, the wilderness is often a
  frightening, violent place. In American
  Literature, wilderness is idealized as a place of
  freedom, connects to growth in American
  nationalism

Woebegone Wednesday

• Homework- Annotate Kennedys speech for the
  abundance of rhetorical devicesantithesis in
  particular, but also parallelism, allusion,
  metaphor, and alliteration (add on anaphora and
  zeugma if youre bold)
• Warmup 10
• Summarize Section 2 of Custom House. Use last
  nights notes for reference

49
Compare and contrast to whats in your book
50
rhetorical devices to annotate for

• Antithesis- parallel syntax with opposite idea
• It was the best of times, it was the worst of
  times
• parallelism- repeated syntax
• Roses are red/ violets are blue
• Metaphor- implicit comparison
• Juliet is the sun
• Alliteration-repeating sounds at the start of
  several closely placed words.
• The harried woman hurriedly packed her horrid
  bag.

51
Allusions are Key

• a reference to a place, person, or something that
  happened. This can be real or imaginary and may
  refer to anything, including paintings, opera,
  folk lore, mythical figures, or religious
  manuscripts. The reference can be direct or may
  be inferred
• Allusions are rhetorical shortcuts they allow the
  writer to give an example or get a point across
  without going into a lengthy explanation.
• Allusions are risky because theyre contingent on
  mutual knowledge between speaker and audience.

52
Allusion Examples

• He was a real Romeo with the ladies.  
• Chocolate was her Achilles heel
• He was a Good Samaritan yesterday when he helped
  the lady start her car.
• She turned the other cheek after she was cheated
  out of a promotion.
• This place is like a Garden of Eden.
• Develop Allusion Antennae and look things up

53

• Scarlett's Red Dress Scene
• American Heritage Dictionary says
• scarlet woman
• A prostitute, an immoral woman, as in Malicious
  gossip had it that she was a scarlet woman, which
  was quite untrue . This expression first appeared
  in Revelation 175, describing Saint John's
  vision of a woman in scarlet clothes with an
  inscription on her forehead, "Mystery, Babylon
  the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations
  of the earth." Some interpreters believe she
  stood for Rome, drunk with the blood of saints,
  but by about 1700 the term was being used more
  generally for a woman with loose morals.

54
If youre feeling bold

• Anaphora- Repeating words at the beginning of
  poetic stanzas or sentences. What Anaphora have
  we seen lately?
• Zeugma-any case of parallelism and ellipsis
  working together so that a single word governs
  two or more other parts of a sentence
• Ellipsis- the act of leaving out one or more
  words that are not necessary for a phrase to be
  understood. This may be done with punctuation ()
  but also with syntax.
• Begin when ready for Begin when you are ready
• Histories make men wise poets, witty the
  mathematics, subtle natural philosophy, deep
  moral, grave logic and rhetoric, able to
  contend. (Francis Bacon13).
• The more usual way of phrasing this would be
  "Histories make men wise, poets make them witty,
  the mathematics make them subtle, natural
  philosophy makes them deep, moral makes them
  grave, and logic and rhetoric make them able to
  contend."

• Edgar Allan Poe, The Black Cat
•  
• Discuss
• The dashes in this long sentence set off a series
  of appositives. (An appositive is a noun or noun
  phrase places beside another noun or noun phrase
  and used to identify or explain it.) What noun
  phrase is explained by the appositives?
• This sentence makes syntactic and semantic sense
  if it ends with the first exclamation point. What
  do the appositives add to the meaning and
  effectiveness of this sentence?

• Homework- Last section of Custom House with Notes

59
Looking at Kennedys speech

1. Why are so many of the words abstract? How do
   words like Freedom, poverty, devotion,
   loyalty, and sacrifice, impact tone?
2. Are there clichés in the speech? Are there
   fresher metaphors? Where?
3. Can you find examples of archaic diction? Where?
   To what effect are they employed?
4. More than 20 of the sentences he uses are complex
   (check your packet if you need to) how does that
   sentence type create an energetic ethos?

Warmup 11

• Summarize Section 3

Chapter 1The Prison-Door

• A throng of bearded men, in sad-colored garments
  and gray, steeple-crowned hats, intermixed with
  women, some wearing hoods, and others bareheaded,
  was assembled in front of a wooden edifice, the
  door of which was heavily timbered with oak, and
  studded with iron spikes.

63

• The founders of a new colony, whatever Utopia of
  human virtue and happiness they might originally
  project, have invariably recognized it among
  their earliest practical necessities to allot a
  portion of the virgin soil as a cemetery, and
  another portion as the site of a prison. In
  accordance with this rule, it may safely be
  assumed that the forefathers of Boston had built
  the first prison-house, somewhere in the vicinity
  of Cornhill, almost as seasonably as they marked
  out the first burial-ground, on Isaac Johnson's
  lot, and round about his grave, which
  subsequently became the nucleus of all the
  congregated sepulchres in the old church-yard of
  King's Chapel.

64

• Certain it is, that, some fifteen or twenty years
  after the settlement of the town, the wooden jail
  was already marked with weather-stains and other
  indications of age, which gave a yet darker
  aspect to its beetle-browed and gloomy front. The
  rust on the ponderous iron-work of its oaken door
  looked more antique than any thing else in the
  new world. Like all that pertains to crime, it
  seemed never to have known a youthful era. Before
  this ugly edifice, and between it and the
  wheel-track of the street, was a grass-plot, much
  overgrown with burdock, pig-weed, apple-peru, and
  such unsightly vegetation, which evidently found
  something congenial in the soil that had so early
  borne the black flower of civilized society, a
  prison.

65

• . But, on one side of the portal, and rooted
  almost at the threshold, was a wild rose-bush,
  covered, in this month of June, with its delicate
  gems, which might be imagined to offer their
  fragrance and fragile beauty to the prisoner as
  he went in, and to the condemned criminal as he
  came forth to his doom, in token that the deep
  heart of Nature could pity and be kind to him.

66
This rose-bush, by a strange chance, has been
kept alive in history but whether it had merely
survived out of the stern old wilderness, so long
after the fall of the gigantic pines and oaks
that originally overshadowed it,--or whether, as
there is fair authority for believing, it had
sprung up under the footsteps of the sainted Ann
Hutchinson, as she entered the prison-door,--we
shall not take upon us to determine. Finding it
so directly on the threshold of our narrative,
which is now about to issue from that
inauspicious portal, we could hardly do otherwise
than pluck one of its flowers and present it to
the reader. It may serve, let us hope, to
symbolize some sweet moral blossom, that may be
found along the track, or relieve the darkening
close of a tale of human frailty and sorrow.

• Now, the use of culture is that it helps us, by
  means of its spiritual standard of perfection, to
  regard wealth but as machinery, and not only to
  say as a matter of words that we regard wealth
  but as machinery, but really to perceive and feel
  that it is so. If it were not for this purging
  effect wrought upon by our minds by culture, the

Hawthorne, the failed transcendentalist

• In 1841, Hawthorne invested 1500 in the Brook
  Farm Utopian Community, leaving disillusioned
  within a year
• His later works show some Transcendentalist
  influence, including a belief in individual
  choice and consequence, and an emphasis on

  novel, The Scarlet Letter would convey these
  ideals contrasting puritan morality with passion
  and individualism
