Summary
• Today was my first day back in San Francisco . It definitely feel good to be back in the city again. The city rebuilt itself after an earthquake in 1906. My hotel is in the Mission District , one of the oldest parts of the city, which is the center for art, music and food . Many people living here are from Mexicoand Central America. Here, an art movement called the “Mission School” started. In the afternoon, I headed to a local museum that showed the historical changes in California. In 1848, gold was discovered here, which started a gold rush . Many people from all over the world came to seek their fortune. The museum did a good job of showing how America was built by immigrants from different countries and cultures. This evening, I went to Chinatown, where I selected a
Anglophone Literature Reading List
Anglophone Literature Ph.D. Exam(A)Working DefinitionTaken literally, “Anglophone literature” refers to literatures written in English; however, in literary studies the term has many inflections, hence the need for a working definition. For the purpose of this examination, we define “Anglophone literature” as literatures in English produced by writers from nations that are former colonies of Britain, excluding the United States. The term “Anglophone" highlights the linguistic commonality of these writin gs. However, Anglophone literary critical discourse recognizes that the shared historical experience of British colonial rule and contemporary forms of imperialism forge other forms of connectedness of these writings besides the use of English. In addition, the discourse takes into serious account disparate historical, cultural and political contexts within which these literatures are produced. Finally, it should be noted that as a field of study, Anglophone literature has much in common with Commonwealth literature, Postcolonial literature and New Literatures in English.(B)Time Frame & Geographical AreasWe will cover writings produced from 1850 to the present, and initially by writers from Anglophone Africa, South Asia, and the Caribbean, including those from these areas in postcolonial diasporas.(C)ExpectationsStudents who wish to specialize in the field of Anglophone literature are expected to:1.Understand the historical development of this field of study.2. Demonstrate in-depth knowledge of major literary writings (primary texts) from all of the Anglophone areas identified above.3. Be familiar with social, cultural, and historical particularities of the Anglophone areas identified above. For example, students should be conversant with slavery in the Caribbean, the partition of India, independence movements in Anglophone Africa, apartheid in South Africa, and postcolonial migrations.4. Be familiar with critical theories that have been used to interpret Anglophone literature and be able to apply insights gained to produce theoretically informed analyses of primary texts.5. Understand transnational and trans-cultural dimensions of Anglophone literature.Primary TextsAnglophone Africa (This list includes continental African writers in the West) Abrahams, Peter Mine BoyTell FreedomAchebe, Chinua Things Fall ApartA Man of the PeopleAnthills of the SavannahAidoo, Ama Ata The Dilemma of a GhostOur Sister KilljoyChanges: A Love StoryArmah, Ayi Kwei The Beautiful Ones are not yet BornFragmentsDangaremba, Tsitsi Nervous ConditionsEmecheta, Buchi Second-class CitizenThe Joys of MotherhoodGordimer, Nadine July’s PeopleHead, Bessie A Question of PowerLanga, Mandla The Memory of StonesNgugi Wa Thiong’o A Grain of WheatPetals of BloodNwapa, Flora EfuruOkri, Ben The Famished RoadPaton, Alan Cry, the Beloved CountrySoyinka, Wole The Lion and The JewelDeath and the King’s HorsemanTutuola, Amos The Palm-Wine DrinkardMy Life in the Bush of GhostsPrimary TextsAnglophone Caribbean (This list includes Caribbean writers in the West) Brand, Dionne A Map to the Door of No Return: Notes to Belonging Brathwaite, Edward Kamau The Arrivants: A New World TrilogyCliff, Michelle No Telephone to HeavenDabydeen, David The Counting HouseGilroy, Beryl Frangipani HouseHarris, Wilson Palace of the PeacockHodge, Merle Crick, Crack, MonkeyKincaid, Jamaica A Small PlaceAutobiography of My MotherLucyLamming, George In the Castle of My SkinThe Pleasures of ExileLovelace, Earl While Gods Are FallingMarshall, Paule Brown Girl, BrownstonesPraisesong for the WidowMootoo, Shani Out on Main Street and Other StoriesNaipaul, V.

英语阅读学习目标和具体计划
英语阅读学习目标和具体计划Learning Goals:1. Improve reading comprehension skills.2. Increase vocabulary and language proficiency.3. Expand knowledge of different genres and styles of writing.4. Develop critical thinking and analytical skills through reading.5. Cultivate a love for reading and lifelong learning.Specific Plan:1. Set aside dedicated time for reading each day.2. Create a reading list with a variety of genres and authors.3. Actively engage with the text through annotation and reflection.4. Practice summarizing and discussing the main points of a text with others.5. Use online resources to find additional readings and materials for further exploration.Introduction:Reading is an essential skill that is not only fundamental to language learning but also serves as a gateway to knowledge and personal growth. With the advent of technology, the way we read and consume information has greatly evolved. Despite the convenience of digital platforms and multimedia, traditional reading remains an invaluable and irreplaceable means of learning and self-improvement. This specific plan aims to guide and motivate individuals to establish a consistent reading practice, foster a deep appreciation for various literary works, and ultimately enhance their language and critical thinking skills.Week 1: Setting the FoundationThe initial step in this reading plan involves establishing the habit of reading regularly. Start with setting a specific time and place each day dedicated to reading. This practice might range from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on personal preference and availability. The goal is to gradually build momentum and make reading a natural part of one's routine. To incentivize this habit, identify a reading goal for the week—whether it's finishing a particular book or reading a set number of chapters. By achieving this goal, individuals will experience a sense of accomplishment and be motivated to continue the reading habit. Week 2: Create a Reading ListAfter solidifying the habit of reading, the next step is to curate a reading list encompassing a variety of genres and authors. This list should feature a balance of fiction and non-fiction, classic and contemporary literature, and different cultural perspectives. It's important to diversify the reading material to gain exposure to various styles of writing and broaden one's understanding of the world. As you compile the reading list, take into account recommendations from peers, book reviews, and literary awards.Week 3: Active ReadingOnce the reading list is in place, it's vital to engage with the text actively. This means taking notes, highlighting important passages, and jotting down personal reflections and questions that arise while reading. By interacting with the text in this manner, individuals can deepen their comprehension and retention of the material. Active reading also involves setting aside time for reflection and contemplation, allowing one to analyze the themes, characters, and overall message of the work.Week 4: Discussion and SummarizationIn week four, the focus shifts to the practice of summarizing and discussing the main points of the material with others. This can be done through informal conversations with friends, joining a book club, or participating in online forums and discussion groups. Summarizing a text in one's own words not only reinforces understanding but also helps in developing the skill of concisely articulating complex ideas. Furthermore, engaging in discussions with others provides the opportunity to hear different interpretations and gain new insights into the reading material.Week 5: Supplementary ReadingAs individuals progress through their reading list, it's beneficial to delve into supplementary readings that relate to or expand upon the primary material. This could include critical essays, academic articles, or interviews with the author. By exploring additional resources, readers can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter and discover new perspectives that enrich their overall reading experience.Conclusion:In conclusion, the specific plan outlined above serves as a roadmap for individuals looking to enhance their reading skills, broaden their literary horizons, and deepen their understanding of language and culture. By establishing a regular reading routine, curating a diverse reading list, engaging with the text actively, and participating in discussions and supplementary readings, individuals can hone their reading comprehension, vocabulary, critical thinking, and analytical skills. Moreover, the ultimate aim of this plan is to instill a passion for reading and a lifelong commitment to continuous learning and personal development through the written word.。

美国文学1. The Last of the Mohicans《最后的莫希干人》by James Fennimore CooperThe Last One of Mohegan The story happened under the background of the Britain and France fighting for the American colonies. And the war turned into white-hot; the circumstance of the Indian sank into dilemma. There are two options for them, to fight for the colonists or to wait for the fate to die out. And there are still last three Mohegan in the world.And among them there is a white man who was adopted by an old Mohegan. And on their hunting way to north, they ran into the war in which the Hurons which were under the control of French colonists were attacking the English officer and two daughters of an English general. And the three Mohegan helped them to defend the Hurons. Then in the battle of William Hamburg, the English colonists were defeated. And French army accepted English army’s surrender. But the Hurons who once massacred by the English colonists would not forgive them easily.And the Hurons wanted to kill the two daughters of the general. So the three Mohegan embarked on the road to protect the two girls. Finally, the white Mohegan fell in love with the older daughter of the general. From this story we can see confliction between colonization and anti-colonization, repression and freedom, colonists and aborigines. Farther more, the white Mohegan’s desire to fight for freedom and his lover touched us a lot. The background of the story made the readers feel a strong breathing of epic.At the end of the story, their unbending spirit of looking for freedom made the readers know more about the deep emotions of aborigines. The fighting between aborigines was wild and lamentable. In order to survive, they had to fight like animals, and did not realize that they were just the tools of the colonists to occupy more lands. The blood of them was the strongest evidence of the evil of the colonialism. The most righteous men among the aborigines were the last three Mohegan. The biggest difference between the three Mohegan and other aborigines was that they kept a clear mind and the freedom of character. They did not choice any side and keep a balance life style. And under this life belief they keep a strong and unyielding spirit. And one day there will be no more frontier. And men like you will go too, like the Mohicans. And new people will come, work, struggle. Some will make their life. But once, we were here.2. “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”《睡谷的传说“Rip Van Winkle”By Washington IrvingReport of Rip Van Winkle These days I’ve read a passage named Rip Van Winkle .
