Presentation Transcript
Hello, my friends. For today:
- Expats in Paris
- Library to get books
- Anticipating The Sun Also Rises
- Picturing Hemingway
- Hemingway’s Iceberg Theory
- Time to work on Gatsby outlines
Why Leave America?
- The 20s were booming. Why did many authors, like Fitzgerald and Hemingway, want to get out?
- Prohibition – Substance abusers need substance
- Censorship – Push back against women’s liberation
- Moral Authority
- Institutionalized Racism
- Birth of KKK
- Headquartered in Detroit to partner with Henry Ford
- Nationalism/Anti-Immigration
- Tulsa Race Riots of ‘21
- Troubled Economy
- Credit and debt, no safety net
- Isolationism – Backed out of League of Nations
Why Paris?
- What made this particular city so appealing?
- No Prohibition
- Synergy
- All the artists were already there. New artists on the scene fed off the others
- Center for artistic movements (Modernism)
What were they after?
- Debunking delusions
- Remember Gatsby? The “rock of the world on the wing of a fairy”? This sentiment was seeping into many aspects of philosophy, psychology, art, music, literature, baking, etc.
- Something(s) about American life at the times was disguising life as it truly was.
Picturing Hemingway
- http://www.npg.si.edu/exh/hemingway/index-paris.htm
Anticipating TSAR
- What do we know about Hemingway? What do we think we know?
- Remember our conversation about book titles for Gatsby. What does the title The Sun Also Rises conjure in your mind? How does it hit you as a jumping off point for this text? In what direction, as a reader, is it pointing you?
- Consider the cover art
- Page 99 analysis
Hemingway’s “Iceberg Theory”
“I always try to write on the principle of the iceberg. There is seven - eighths of it under water for every part that shows . Anything you know you can eliminate and it only strengthens your iceberg. It is the part that doesn’t show.”
- How this translates to Hemingway’s style is an almost complete absence of sentimentality.
Hemingway’s “Iceberg Theory”
- Observe pgs. 46-47 from “She must have been…”
- It appears to be a pretty heated exchange, although it is without the cues that let the reader know exactly what is happening, cues like “he said angrily” or “I replied apologetically” or “I knew I should have laid off but felt the urge to keep prodding.”
- Hemingway makes us do the work to fill in the gaps here? What do you think?
- Now observe pg. 118 from “’I saw you out…’”
- It appears they’re joking/teasing each other but none of that language is there…
Gatsby Outline
- I’m looking for:
- Debatable thesis
- >2 appropriate pieces of evidence
- With conclusions supporting your thesis
- Appropriate background, transitions
- Basic format of an outline:
- Intro
- Body Paragraphs 1, 2, 3
- Conclusion
