Summer, an excerpt by Amy Lowell

Some men there are who find in nature all Their inspiration, hers the sympathy Which spurs them on to any great endeavor, To them the fields and woods are closest friends, And they hold dear communion with the hills; The voice of waters soothes them with its fall, And the great winds bring healing in their sound. To them a city is a prison house Where pent up human forces labour and strive, Where beauty dwells not, driven forth by man; But where in winter they must live until Summer gives back the spaces of the hills. To me it is not so. I love the earth And all the gifts of her so lavish hand: Sunshine and flowers, rivers and rushing winds, Thick branches swaying in a winter storm, And moonlight playing in a boat’s wide wake; But more than these, and much, ah, how much more, I love the very human heart of man. Above me spreads the hot, blue mid-day sky, Far down the hillside lies the sleeping lake Lazily reflecting back the sun, And scarcely ruffled by the little breeze Which wanders idly through the nodding ferns. The blue crest of the distant mountain, tops The green crest of the hill on which I sit; And it is summer, glorious, deep-toned summer, The very crown of nature’s changing year When all her surging life is at its full. To me alone it is a time of pause, A void and silent space between two worlds, When inspiration lags, and feeling sleeps, Gathering strength for efforts yet to come.

Some men there are who find in nature all To them the fields and woods are closest friends,

Their inspiration, hers the sympathy Which spurs them on to any great endeavor,

When all her surging life is at its full. To me alone it is a time of pause, A void and silent space between two worlds,

Sunshine and flowers, rivers and rushing winds, And moonlight playing in a boat’s wide wake;

The Sun Has Long Been Set by William Wordsworth

The sun has long been set, The stars are out by twos and threes, The little birds are piping yet Among the bushes and trees; There’s a cuckoo, and one or two thrushes, And a far-off wind that rushes, And a sound of water that gushes, And the cuckoo’s sovereign cry Fills all the hollow of the sky. Who would “go parading” In London, “and masquerading,” On such a night of June With that beautiful soft half-moon, And all these innocent blisses? On such a night as this is!

He finds them distracting and annoying.

He finds them dangerous and frightening.

He finds them surprising and strange.

Part II Reading Response (15%): You read Jo Ann Oravec’s “Blending by Blogging: Weblogs in Blended Learning Initiatives” and understand the reading. Then you need to provide the reader with necessary background information of the reading such as author(s), the title of the reading article, the main idea or thesis through a summary. Given your classmates and instructor all read the article, you may assume the reader has already read the text. Thus, do not summarize the contents of the text at length. Next, you write your response to the reading by clearly explaining and supporting your reactions or opinions (e.g., why you agree/disagree/partially agree with the author, why you like/dislike the reading, critique the reading/good or bad). There is no right or wrong answer to a reading response; your support to your response or opinion using the evidence from the reading and outside sources justifies the usefulness, convince and/or persuasion of your response

I’m working on a History exercise and need support.

Your assignment is to select one essay from the AZTLAN journal and write a 3-4 page (typed, double-spaced) critical review.

Make sure to select an essay from the ESSAY section of the Aztlan Journal. Do not complete your review on a Book Review, editor’s introduction or any other section. It needs to be an essay from the Essay section. These essays all have abstracts, works cited section and are usually between 15-30 pages long. If you have a question about the essay you are selecting, please email me. I recommend selecting an essay to review published from the last 10 years so that you will have to work with more recent Chicana/o Studies scholarship.

Structure it in the following way:

Part One should be a two-hundred-word abstract that simply summarizes the essay without interjecting any of your own ideas or opinions.

Part Two should answer the following question: “What do you consider to be the strengths and weaknesses of the essay? Your review will indicate the essay’s purpose, its central thesis and supporting ideas, and the material it considers.Pick one of the two movies last viewed–The Grand Illusion or Godfather 1–and a two page (600 word) essay on it, linking it to one or more of the readings that seem most relevant (your choice).

Pick one of the two movies last viewed–The Grand Illusion or Godfather 1–and a two page (600 word) essay on it, linking it to one or more of the readings that seem most relevant (your choice).

the reading are: 1- Tocqueville, Aristocracy and Democracy. 2- Marx, Kinship and Capitalism

The readings are attached bellow.

You may handle this following discussion in class, or you may want to pursue a specific question, such as: What turns Micheal Corleone into the monster he eventually becomes? And what does this mean, given the larger cultural-political issues of the Godfather (post-war capitalism, the shifts in American culture, etc.). Again, this is your choice.

Here is a list of some of the key themes we treated in The Grand Illusion and Godfather 1, to help you decide how to handle this.

1. The nature of an aristocratic caste or estate system versus modern democracy and “equality of conditions.”

2. What is the “grand illusion” of Renoir’s movie–is it the differences that divide human beings (national, ethnic, class, sexual), or is it the idea that we can dispense with these differences in a pacifist society of universal humanity? (Or both?)

3. How do the various differences dividing human beings play out in The Grand Illusion–national and class, first of all, any others, such as ethnic or gender?

4. How is the issue of “universal humanity” complicated by the fact that nation-states (like France and Germany) seem to correspond to the rise of democracy, while a humanity transcending national divisions is evinced precisely by the aristocratic (global?) elites (Rauffenstein and Boeldieu).

5. Three issues or conflicts are intimated in the opening scene of The Godfather:

a. The problem of America as an immigrant country–assimilation, integration, acceptance, and recognition (or the failure of these);

b. The problem of two social orders, traditional and modern, a family-based system held together by honor, respect, and loyalty versus a cold-calculating market system in which personal relations are subordinated to the bottom line, in the context of the American dream, paradise failed;

c. The shift of American culture from a more traditionally oriented one to post-War capitalism in the sense signified by Las Vegas.

6. These three may perhaps be summed up and epitomized by the rude awakening of Bonasero, who found paradise in America for his family and himself (keeping his distance from Don Corleone’s business) until his daughter was assaulted. Then he realized in the most brutal way the limits of assimilation and his lack of status and recognition as a Sicilian immigrant.

All these are meant to be helpful tips–you can use them as you see fit.
