English 123: Introduction to Literature
06/30/2008 Notes
LESSON
Every store is a retelling of another story. For example, Mister Pip could not and would not have ever been written without the novel Great Expectations by Mr. Dickens.
VOCAB
1. Tradition- to know who you are and what God expects you to do. (derived from the play Fiddler on the Roof )
2. Quotidian- the dreariness of the everyday process.
3. Canon- the list of authorized texts that have stood the test of time, example- Great Expectations.
COMPARISONS
1. Sarcasm vs. Facetiousness
Sarcasm seems to be mean spirited most of the time while facetiousness is done with an arrogant attitude.
2. Parity vs. Satire
Parity is equality, as in amount, status, or character while satire is the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.
