Exam #1 1. What is curriculum and why is it important? Curriculum is a difficult topic to define. There are many variations of curriculum types and ways in which it can be defined. Curriculum can be defined as a sequence of steps laid out in order to create a plan for achieving goals, particularly in education. Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis define curriculum as a plan for providing sets of learning opportunities for how individuals can become educated (Ornstein & Hunkins P. 8). Wiles and Bondi view

Looking up at the night all people see different things. They see constellations, heaven, a lifeless void. All of these interpretations are unique to the person. There is a poem that covers this idea of mixed meaning named When I heard the Learn’d Astronomer by the writer Walt Whitman written in 1865 and published in 1867. The poem explains the speaker is sitting in on a lecture by a knowledgeable astronomer. The man is sitting in a lecture-room and shows an obvious distaste for his setting by explaining

Make Your Voice Heard A quote by Audre Lorde says, “I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood.” There will never be change if people don’t speak on the issues they believe in. People must speak on things they believe in so that others can become aware of it. With the 2016 presidential election many people felt as though they weren’t being heard, especially young voters

paintings can express great emotion through theme and tone. From here the question is asked: What makes a piece of art significant and have a lasting affect on the audience? The two poems, “Stars, I Have Seen Them Fall” by A.E. Houseman and “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer” by Walt Whitman express a powerful message. Also, the late Vincent Van Gogh’s painting Starry Night is still one of the most well known pieces of art due to its distinct color and geometrical patterns. These three pieces of

“I heard a Fly buzz” is written in the form as an Horatian ode. A Horatian ode is a lyrical poem consisting of two or four-line stanzas with the same metrical pattern . Dickinson’s poem consists of four stanzas with four lines in each stanza. The poem has no rhyme scheme seeing as there is no rhymes, except for line two and four in the fourth stanza. The rhyme ‘me’ and ‘see’ actually breaks the pattern of no rhyme scheme. In the poem Dickinson uses a great number of hyphens. The hyphens break up

Through the poem “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer” Whitman demonstrates the importance of returning to nature as a source of inspiration and wisdom by juxtaposing the restrictive scientific teachings against liberating personal imagination through nature. This difference is most apparent in the first few lines of the poem. Whitman begins his poem by describing a scene in which he is sitting in a classroom being taught by an astronomer, “When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide

past the visuals and find the real truths behind the works. In the Emily Dickinson’s poems, “After great pain, a formal feeling comes,” “I heard a Fly buzz- when I died-,” and the W. H. Auden poem “Musee des Beaux Arts,” the authors depict a similar theme that life goes on in the midst of tragedy. Each poem details a specific aspect of the theme such as in “I heard a Fly buzz- when I died-,” life still moves in the presence of death, in “After great pain, a formal feeling comes,” after someone deals

with her poetry and how willing she was to push the silence of hyphens and commas to mean something more. Her understanding of pace is truly remarkable. Her work becomes deeper and more efficient. "I heard a Fly buzz - when I died - The Stillness in the Room Was like the Stillness in the air" (I heard a Fly buzz - when I died -, 1-3) Dickenson is very efficient in setting her scenes. She wants to set up her poem to reflect the room of her own death bed and rather than break into a simple description

is the theme for most of Emily Dickinson’s creation. The authenticity of Emily Dickinson’s death obsessed poems demonstrates a profound emotion that projects a revolting persona. This persona is visible through her poem: I heard a Fly buzz – when I died. Dickinson’s poem I heard a Fly buzz – when I died is a perfect exemplar of Dickinson’s revolting persona. Equipped with isolating dashes that swiftly changes the mood on each line, Dickinson portrayed a death scenario that described the atmosphere
