One observation from AP readers is that students seem unable to wrestle with complex texts. I am not so sure that the ability is lacking. Rather, I think it is the desire or the willingness to read hard texts and think deeply about them that is sometimes missing. It does require discipline to train yourself to read complex texts, but it's so worth it, not only for the AP tests, but also for college and beyond. Lazy thinking is said to give you mud for brains. Use these assignments as exercises in compressing any brain mud into diamonds. :-)

Follow directions for all entries carefully. Answer the prompts thoroughly. Write enough to demonstrate your deep, thoughtful engagement with the text.

Write legibly or type responses. LABEL ALL RESPONSES CLEARLY. Example: Act 1.1 Entry#1.

Be prepared to read your response in class as called to do so. You will lose points if you are unable to read a response when called on. Yes, you will read your response, not just wing one on the fly. :)  In other words, you have to bring them to class to be able to read them. Bring all of them to class each day; we may or may not discuss each one.

 

Hamlet journals will be collected eventually. These points are a major part of the unit's grade.

 

Entries and points are subject to change as the unit progresses.

(Bolded terms in entry prompts can be found on your Glossary of Literary Terms packet, and they are likely to appear on future tests, possibly on the AP test, too.)

Act 1.1:

Entry#1:After watching/reading 1.1, answer these questions and prepare to discuss -

What is the function of the scene? What mood is established in the scene? What do we discover about Denmark in the scene?

Act 1.2

Therefore our sometime sister, now our queen,

The imperial jointress to this warlike state,

Have we, as 'twere with a defeated joy,--

With an auspicious and a dropping eye,

With mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage,

In equal scale weighing delight and dole,--

Taken to wife  (1.2.8-14)

Entry#2: King Claudius’s words above are full of antitheses, pairs of opposites. The reference to sister/queen in the first line is an example of antithesis. Find and list the other five pairs of opposites. Next, reorder the convoluted syntax in the king's sentence above. Record the subject, the complete predicate, and the direct object of the main clause, ignoring all the phrases. What is the basic message? Discuss the intent behind Claudius's lengthy and confusing periodic sentence. What do the new king's words tell us about Claudius and about the situation in Denmark? What effect is Claudius trying to create with these contrasts? Consider both the connotation and the denotation, or direct meaning, of the king's words. Keep in mind that to marry a sister-in-law was considered by many of Shakespeare’s contemporaries to be incest.

Act 1.3

Entry #3: What tone is exhibited by Polonius's diction in his words to his daughter below? What does he reveal about the kind of father he is? How do Polonius' words to Ophelia characterize Polonius? Does his attitude come from concern for her or from something else? Explain.

'Tis told me, he hath very oft of late

Given private time to you; and you yourself

Have of your audience been most free and bounteous:

If it be so, as so 'tis put on me,

And that in way of caution, I must tell you,

You do not understand yourself so clearly

As it behoves my daughter and your honour.

What is between you? give me up the truth.

OPHELIA  

He hath, my lord, of late made many tenders

Of his affection to me.

LORD POLONIUS  

Affection! pooh! you speak like a green girl,

Unsifted in such perilous circumstance.

Do you believe his tenders, as you call them?

OPHELIA  

I do not know, my lord, what I should think.

LORD POLONIUS  

Marry, I'll teach you: think yourself a baby;

That you have ta'en these tenders for true pay,

Which are not sterling. Tender yourself more dearly;

Or--not to crack the wind of the poor phrase,

Running it thus--you'll tender me a fool.

Act 1.4

Entry#4: Near the end of the scene, Marcellus's famous line, "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark," is one of the most recognized lines from the play. What is the purpose of the line?

Read the sentence below and use context clues to determine the meaning of the word replica: This replica of the ship, the U.S.S.
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

B, a copy or duplicate.

Explanation:

It isn't the actual ship so it can't be the original version because the original ship would be big not small. It's a ship so it can't be a companion, and no one is presenting anything so it's definitely not an assisted presentation.

Death of a Salesman. Why does biff steal?what compels him to steal? How do his actions shape his future?
ehidna [41]
Why does biff steal?
Biff steals things because it is his passive-aggressive way of getting back at people he feels have unfairly done better in life than he has,


What compels him to steal?
stealing gives him an excuse to quit whatever dead-end job he happens to be in at the moment.


Future?
This pattern of subtle revenge and avoiding of mundane responsibility is exposed to be a nearly life-long pattern for Biff, and one that will continue.

You will now write a final essay examining the conclusion of the novel and the final use of irony, by answering the question, “W
SpyIntel [72]

I think death is fearful of humans, because in the Book Thief as all the important people in Liesel’s life die, death feared how Liesel could face her conflicts. Guilt only haunts death because every human hates death, but death has to do his job.

Life is something precious, and then comes along death, and it steals life from us. Death is something that is always unwanted and every human’s biggest wish is to live, but not all wishes come true. Especially the one wish everyone asks for, the wish to live, forever.

Not only does our death haunt us, but also the loss of loved ones will haunt anyone. In the Book Thief, Liesel is being haunted by the thoughts of her brother dying. Death still collects souls, because it’s his job, in which he fears, along with humans. This book is relevant to a quote which is “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” (Mae West). This means people know everyone’s going to die.

Then why upset when they end up leaving the world. It’s the feeling of depression, and loss, which humans cannot control, but death has to, because it is his job. “I am haunted by humans.” (Zusak 550), says the character of death in this novel. This quote said by death, conveys that although humans see their

perspective in their world of fearing death, in death's world, humans haunt death.

Death is a curious character, consumed by guilt that is haunted by the destructive side of every human, which makes him fear his own profession.

In conclusion, Death is afraid of humans because Guilt haunts him and every human has to die one way or another
