THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I have a speaking competition tomorrow and i didn't feel prepared, but this video made me feel like my preparation was complete!! I'll be back tomorrow to update you all on the results :) thank you once again !!

Very good - thanks for the great survey of analogies! 😸

nice introduction, thank you

such an informative video!

Your explanation is amazing, i didn't understand the meaning of it in my book. Thanku teacher & love and seeking blessing from India.

What doesn’t exist anymore, Sunnyside? It is currently a popular tourist attraction in the Hudson River Valley. I hate getting interested in a video then finding out the person doesn’t know what they are talking about. The rest is okay.

we are studing the american literature during the seconde semester and thanks for this video , it may help us. THANK YOU SO MUCH

So interesting! You answered a question i never asked myself :')

There really was a big change in society and mores after World War I.

is it too late to be a notorious romantic poet at this day and age?

love love LOVE this

Your channel is such a treasure thank you my teacher ❤

Very helpfully!! Thanks!

I also find it interesting how, if Maria represents Spain, Jordan can never fully embrace fighting for Spain because he keeps pushing it away. Although, in the end of the novel, he sacrifices himself so Spain can live and even tells Pablo, who represents doubt and scepticism for a cause, to take Maria (Spain) away from him so she doesn’t die with her. This is a nice metaphor for Jordan’s inner dialogues, and a I am not sure if I have to interpret it as Jordan sacrificing himself for a country he is not truly linked to, or as Jordan finally being worthy of fighting for Spain and the Republican cause.

Fate determined by god so mother is godly but who created mother?

Really enjoyed watching this wonderful video. Many thanks indeed.❤

Thank you so much.

Really excellent!!

Also used for youngster.

Hello, professor! I am lately confused by the difference between postmodern literature and postmodernism literature as I was asked to prepare a presentation related to American postmodern novels. Is that okey to introduce the special narratives of American postmodernism literature? Could you plz help me❤Thank u so much❤

Chi Bhai boring Yaar

I hope you'll forgive my confusion, but I still don't understand why syllables are considered to map one-to-one with rhythmic beats in English scansion. Example: >> 1. The cat had sat on grass. >> 2. The cat had sat on a log. Which one sounds more rhythmic? To me it's #2, even though #1 conforms perfectly to iambic trimeter (in the way of syllabic stress patterns, not rhythmic way) and #2 doesn't. The problem to me is timing, at least with the way I read it. I read #1 like this if we clap our hands on stressed beats at a uniform timing or use a metronome: 1: the 2: CAT 3: had 4: SAT 5: on GR 6: RASS That is to say, "GRASS" is off-beat; it's ahead of the 6th beat (3rd stressed beat) creating a jarring rhythmic dissonance. I read #2 like this: 1: the 2: CAT 3: had 4: SAT 5: on a 6: LOG In this second version, "LOG" nicely lands on the 6th beat (the 3rd stressed one). So #2 is more consistently iambic in rhythm, at least with the way I say it (I pronounce "a" as /ə/ rather than the longer /eɪ/). Even though #1 is more consistently iambic in syllables, it's not as consistently iambic to me in rhythm given how the third accent is off-rhythm.

One of the spookiest bible stories with its ghostly hand...

Poes most underrated story. It’s a masterpiece. The way he sets the tone with the grandfather clock.

Thank you =)

Very clear time line. Thanks.

Coming from a musical background, it never made sense to me to think of syllables in poetry when it comes to rhythm. Example: >> Jim had flown today. This clearly uses trochaic feet if we analyze it in terms of syllables. However, it is not at all rhythmic unless we read it very unnaturally to force it to become rhythmic like so: >> JIMmm had FLOWN tooDAYyy. Unless we read in such an unnatural way, it's like a horrible drummer who is sticking to a consistent kick and snare drum accent pattern, but his timing is so all over the place that it doesn't sound the slightest bit rhythmic. It doesn't matter how uniformly sounds conform to an accent pattern if their timing is sporadic; the first and foremost thing rhythm requires is to establish consistency in timing (even more important than accents/stress). The problem is that "JIM" and "DAY" -- especially "JIM" -- are very short stressed syllables relative to "FLOWN" which is very long. Long stress syllables want to stretch out the length of the beat to allow all stressed syllables around them to be quantized to the same stressed beat timings, so "Jim had flown" will tend to -- at a natural reading speed -- cause readers to have to jarringly pause at an unanticipated tempo shift or, in anticipation of what's to come, draw out the sound of "Jim" in a way beyond far beyond its natural stress. Meanwhile, consider this: >> Jimmy had flown today. This disrupts the trochaic feet by starting with a dactyl from a strict syllabic scansion. Yet it actually sounds _"more trochaic"_ to my ears, not less with this insertion of the extra syllable -- because it smooths and helps even out the timing of the stressed syllables; It evens out the length discrepancies of "JIM" and "FLOWN" as syllables and the time between them. The first and foremost thing required for anything to sound rhythmic is to establish consistent patterns of timing. The problem I find with syllabic scansion is that syllables vary wildly in length and time to enunciate [*], not to mention that speakers will tend to naturally pause, so we end up with no real sense of timing through syllabic scansion. We need to think more in terms of timing as I see it, not syllables, to truly understand the rhythm of a piece of poetry or prose. [*] _That is to say, syllables don't map one-to-one with a beat or even close: some syllables will want to map to half a beat, some to a third, and so forth. It's not like all syllables in the English language can be thought of as quarter notes in length. Some are like quarter notes, some are like eight notes, some groupings function like triplets, and so forth._

thanks! This helped me revise for my upcoming exam!!!

I liked the Firefly series. It was over too quickly.
