What do you know about poetry which is one of the types of literature?A：Literature has abundant types such as poems, novels, and biographies, if we should give a definition to literature, we can call it historical product. That is to say literature is the reflection of different ages.As one of the types of literature, poetry also has different types such as, narrative poetry, and lyric poetry. Narrative poetry contains epic, romance, and ballad. While the lyric poetry contains elegies, odes, sonnets and epigraphs. And the elements of poetry are speaker, situation, diction, denotation connotation, syntax, imagery, and figures of speech.2.What are the characteristic of epic? And please try to find some proofs in the epic Beowulf.A: the characteristics are: 1. great hero, 2, vast settings 3, action of great deeds 4, supernatural forces 5, grand style 6, objectivityBeowulf is the national epic of Great Britain. Beowulf is one of the national heroes of the English people. According to the epic, the hero Beowulf beat the monster Grendel and protected the King and people of his country. The fight between Beowulf and Grendel began in a hall which was built by the King to give banquet to his ministers. In the hall tne monster killed many ministers and the King asked Beowulf to fight with Grendel ,thus their long-time fight began. Beowulf had gone through many places and dangerous situations in chasing the and beat the monster.3.Shakespeare is a great _dramatist_________ living in the ____Elizabethan__________ period.Can you list out four famous tragedies and four comedies of Shakespeare?Tragedies: Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Othello, and King LearComedies: Midsummer Night’s Dream, Merchant of Venice, As You Like It, and Twelfth Nights4.Where does the sentence “to be or not to be, that is a question”come from? What’s yourunderstanding of this sentence?5.List out the elements of fiction? And choose one of the elements to give a specific description.Elements are: theme, plot and structure, character, setting, point of view, and language and style. The point of view is the angle from which the story is told. There are 3 commonly used point of view. Such as third person point of view, limited third person point of view and first person point of view.6.What is Ode? Please give an example. The odes is derived from classical literature. The odeswas meant to be sung to an audience, and is usually addressed to someone or something. It very often is a “song” of praise glorifying an individual, praising an event or even nature. The emphasis was on the intellect rather than the emotion.Example: The Ode to the West Wind7.Choose from one of the aspects, point of view, setting and language to appreciate WutheringHeights8.Ode to the West Wind is written by ____P.C. Shelly______________. Please resent your viewon the “west wind” in the ode.9.Match the writers with their masterpiece.10. Jane Eyre in your eyes.Jane Eyre was a girl who pursued freedom and equality, whose unusual thought and behavior violated women’s ethics at that time, which had become the apotheosis of women who strived for liberty. When we think of the girl, what she gave us was not a pretty face or a transcendent temperament, but a huge charm of personality.She had some good virtues that really affect me.Although she experienced lots of difficulties and hardships in the process of growing up, she was fearless, always keeps her chin up and insists on pursuing freedom and equality. Her aunt felt disgust of her, though she was a liar and tried to drive her away. Jane spoke directly when she left, “If I was a liar, I would say I loved you. But I don’t---I hate you…If anyone asks how you treated me, I will tell them the truth…”Her goodness also touched me. She grew in strength. She distinguished herself at Lowood School because of her hard work and strong intellectual abilities. She went to teach in Thronfield to be independent. After so many ups and downs, she still loved and stayed with Rochester even when he lost arms and blinded in eyes. When she was a child, she was isolated, powerless, lived with her aunt and cousins who dislike her. At last, her aunt confessed all the evils she had done to her in the past, she forgave her aunt even if her aunt still didn’t like her.From of old, women have the image of effeminacy, painfulness and they look after the protection of men. While Jane Eyre is independent and tough, she represents the heroic spirit of women. To end with, I think Jane Eyre is a great woman. She is an unforgettable role in literary history, and she will always has a great influence on the liberty of women, even on the liberty of the world.。

Identification of Fragmens.20%1When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral: the men through a sort of respectful affectation for a fallen monument, the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house, which no one save an old manservant —a combined gardener and cook---had seen in at least ten years. Questions:1. Which story is this paragraph taken from?2. Who is the writer of the work?3. Is Miss Emily married or single when she died?2When a girl leaves her home at eighteen, she does one of two things, Either she falls intosaving hands and becomes better, or she rapidly assumes the cosmopolitan standard of virtue and becomes worse. Of an intermediate balance, under the circumstances, there is no possibility. The city has its cunning wiles, no less than the infinitely smaller and more human tempter. There are large forces which allure with all the soulfulness of expression possible in the most cultured human. The gleam of a thousand lights is often as effective as the persuasive light in a wooing and fascinating eye. Half the undoing of the unsophisticated and natural mind is accomplished by forces wholly superhuman. A Blare of sound, a roar of life, a vast array of human hives, appeal to the astonished senses in equivocal terms. Without a counselorat hand to whisper cautious interpretation, what falsehoods may not these things breathe into the unguarded ear! Unrecognised for what they are, their beauty, like music, too often relaxes, the weaken then perverts the simpler human perceptions.Questions: 1. From which novel is this paragraph taken?2.
