for Thursday Oct 22

if you missed class (lots of sports today), watch the entire doc posted below here's the link: http://www.cbc.ca/player/Shows/Shows/The+Nature+of+Things/ID/2188547727/ and here's a handy definition / example that relates to the murder of Simon in Lord of the Flies: Pathetic Fallacy Definition Pathetic fallacy is a literary device that attributes human qualities and emotions to inanimate objects of nature. The word “pathetic” in the term is not used in the derogatory sense of being miserable; rather, here, it stands for “imparting emotions to something else”. Example #1 Shakespeare uses pathetic fallacy in his play “Macbeth” to describe the dark murder of “Duncan”. In Act 2 Scene 3 “Lennox” says: “The night has been unruly. Where we lay, Our chimneys were blown down and, as they say, Lamentings heard i’ th’ air, strange screams of death, And prophesying with accents terrible Of dire combustion and confused events New hatched to the woeful time. The obscure bird Clamored the livelong night. Some say the Earth Was feverous and did shake.” The pathetic fallacy examples in the above lines describe the ominous atmosphere on the night of the murder of “Duncan”. The “unruly” night, the “screams of death” in the air, and the “feverous” earth depict the “evil” act of murder that happened a night before.
