Gregori High SchoolSummer Assignment--Due Monday, August 14, 2017, without exception!Congratulations on becoming the sixth senior class at Gregori High—while I’m sure you’relooking forward to graduation, this year will set the tone, not just for future classes, but for yourcollege career. I expect you to work hard and to always do your absolute best—anything less isunacceptable!To prepare for next year, I'm asking you to complete three assignments:I.Define Satire, and look at a few works as examples.II.Read and annotate Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift, and answer some readingquestions.III.Create flash cards for literary terms, and study them.Summer Assignment—Part IFirst look up the definition of satire, and try to get a sense of the different kinds of satire,Juvenalian, Horatian, and Menippean. Examples of satire you are probably already familiar withare Animal Farm, Saturday Night Live, and maybe South Park, among others.Satirists often use exaggeration, incongruity, parody, reversal, and especially irony as techniques(both to mock and to send their message).Start by reading Mark Twain’s “My Watch: An Instructive Little Tale” (attached at the end).Determine what Twain is satirizing, what he is mocking, and what his message is. Thendetermine what techniques he might be using to do this.Then watch the following clips and do the same for each one:Marx Brothers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v uM01v vVnbgMonty Python: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v yTl9zYS3 dcRandy Newman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v 8NRbI15ufqMMort Sahl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v h5yd3Nqp19sThen, find a short clip yourself, and explain why it’s satire, analyzing it in the same way. Besure to include the URL.Summer Assignment—Part IIRead and annotate Gulliver’s Travels, by Jonathan Swift. This book is often expurgated, soplease make sure you acquire the version with all four sections. Please acquire the text as I’masking for either annotations or a double entry journal. (Yesterday’s Books is the best used bookstore in town, or you can get cheap texts used on Amazon; you may print the online version or1

I willcheck my e-mail sporadically, so don't be offended if I don't respond right away, but I willrespond (barring technological glitches, of course).I am providing you with guided reading questions to answer as you read. Let me emphasize thatthese are meant to help you understand the novel—I strongly encourage you to answer these asyou read, writing down your answers, so that you can easily review the novel immediately beforethe AP Literature course begins. At the very least you will have a test and a timed essay on thenovel. Active participation in discussion is also essential to any AP Literature course. So, beprepared! Your success in this course is only limited by your own investment of time and energy;your grades will ultimately reflect the knowledge and skills you have learned throughout thesemester rather than a simple willingness to go through the motions of coming to class andcompleting tasks. Your preparation as you read Gulliver’s Travels is step one.“A Voyage to Lilliput”1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.One of Swift’s purposes for writing Gulliver’s Travels was “to vex [i.e., make angry]the world rather than divert it.” Does Swift succeed, or does the story have a differenteffect on the audience. Is it different now than it might have been in 1726?What aspects of human nature does Swift satirize through Gulliver’s behavior? Hint:Think about hilarious portraits of pride, arrogance, dullness, and depravity.What effect is produced when Gulliver quotes the Lilliputian language?Why do the politicians dance on the rope for the king?“These Articles after they were read, I was demanded to swear to the performanceof them; first in the manner of my country, and afterwards in the method prescribedby their [Lilliputian] laws; which was to hold my right foot in my left hand, to placethe middle finger of my right hand on the crown of my head, and my thumb on the tipof my ear” (Swift 20). Why does Swift create such a ridiculous ritual?Gulliver’s articles of freedom begin with a tribute to the “most mighty Emperor ofLilliput.” What is ironic about Swift’s description of the king in this preamble? Howdoes this irony contribute to the satire on the Lilliputians?How does Gulliver appear to regard his own story's publication--what effect, if any,does he expect it will have on readers?What first led Gulliver to follow the course of life he did--that of an adventurer andtraveler? Do his motives change as time passes?What are your impressions of the Lilliputians at the beginning? How do they changeas the book progresses?How does being a giant change Gulliver’s attitude toward himself?How does Swift present the Lilliputian Emperor? (Swift is satirizing England's KingGeorge) Flimnap? Bolgolam?Why are the Lilliputians at war? What is Swift saying about war? Aboutnationalism?2
A D V A N C E D13.14.15.P L A C E M E N T E N G L I S HL I T E R A T U R EHow does Gulliver treat the Lilliputians during his first weeks on the island? Whatdoes this tell you about Gulliver?How does Gulliver describe the physical appearance of the Lilliputians? Do theirphysical characteristics compliment their personality?What ideas about religion are satirized? What ideas about government are satirized?“A Voyage to 16.17.What is the first clue that Gulliver has landed in another fantasy world?What familiar features of human society does Swift include in his initial descriptionof Brobdingnag?How is Gulliver made to look ridiculous when he first presents himself to the farmer?How is Gulliver the object of Swift’s satire in his response to the king’s unflatteringdescription of the English?What is it about Brobdingnagians that makes Gulliver feel horror?How does Gulliver’s perception of himself and his country change according to hisenvironment?In what sense is Gulliver diminished in more than size when he meets up with thegiant Brobdingnagians? What does the king, for example, think of him? And whatdoes Gulliver come to think of himself?How does the King react to Gulliver's description of his native Britain? Is the King'srealm similar to or very different from what Gulliver has described of his owncountry? About what English invention does Gulliver inform the King? How does theKing react to this information?How does the Brobdingnag’s attitude toward language differ from that of theLilliputians?How does Gulliver function as a foil to both the Lilliputians and to theBrobdingnagians? What is Swift saying with their different sizes?Gulliver has many vexing encounters with animals and insects in Brobdingnag. Howdoes setting Gulliver in contest with animals affect our sense of his character?“Above all, he [the Brobdingnagian king] was amazed to hear me talk of a mercenarystanding army in the midst of peace, and among a free people. He said if we weregoverned by our own consent in the persons of our representatives, he could notimagine of whom we were afraid, or against whom we were to fight ” How doesSwift use his fantasy world above to deliver his satire on England’s interest in war?What message is Swift sending through the Brobdingnagian king?Does the reader’s opinion of Gulliver change by the king’s bitter criticism?In general, how do the Brobdingnagians treat Gulliver?Is Gulliver changing (dynamic character) as the story progresses? Is he learning fromhis misadventures?Gulliver represents modern (18th century) man under a microscope. Is Gulliver aneveryman figure, or does he have an idiosyncratic persona of his own?“A Voyage to Laputa, Balnibarbi, Luggnagg, Glubbdubdrib, and Japan”3
A D V A N C E D1.2.3.4.5.6.P L A C E M E N T E N G L I S HL I T E R A T U R EWhat is allegorical about the floating island of Laputa? Hint: think of the relationbetween government and the people.Why does Gulliver keep traveling despite of his series of misadventures?In Laputa, power is exerted not through size, but through technology. Does this implythat Swift was a Luddite? Why or why not?Unlike Gulliver’s first two wayward voyages, his mischance arrival on Laputa et al.uncovers absurdity not in terms of size, but in excessive rationalism. Whichinstitutions are satirized in Gulliver’s third voyage? Why?What is gained by playing on the word “gullible” to create “Gulliver,” and thenpresenting Gulliver’s Travels as a plausible journalistic chronicle of misadventures,albeit satiric?According to Gulliver’s most recent misadventure, which premise is promoted more:(a) Man is inherently corrupt, or (b) Man becomes corrupt (esp. through the mediumsof institutions)? Consider: Gulliver finds a friend in each of his mischanceadventures.“A Voyage to the Country of the Houyhnhnms”1.2.3.4.Gulliver is consumed with concern about what others think of him and hiscountrymen. Give examples of this concern and explain its effects on his actions andthemes of the novel.What comments does Swift (not Gulliver) make about religion?Explain the uses of vice and virtue in Gulliver’s Travels.How is irony used in Gulliver’s Travels?Summer Assignment—Part IIIBelow is an incomplete list of literary terms you need to know.

A D V A N C E DP L A C E M E N T E N G L I S HL I T E R A T U R EHow to AnnotateObjectives:To learn techniques for annotating a textTo practice close reading skillsTo find patterns and contrasts in a textTo practice a new kind of notetakingTo analyze literatureAnnotating a text is like having a conversation with a book—it allows the active reader to askquestions, comment on meaning, and mark events and passages he or she wants to revisit. Theannotation of a text can also take place during a lecture or a discussion that is focused on acertain textual passage. Taking notes on the lecturer’s remarks or about thoughts expressedduring a class discussion has a marked advantage—the reader won’t misplace the notes, and theideas will be readily available right beside the text they address.One way that AP students can look closely at a text is by finding patterns and contrasts in it.Examining the patterns in a work may even lead readers to the realization that their own lives aremarked by patterns, and these patterns control their existence much in the same way that anauthor’s patterns control a text.Students, then, should learn how to mark and annotate a text to discern patterns, contrasts, andrelationships. When readers first begin to annotate in order to organize their understanding of atext, they may wish to begin by following these simple guidelines.Annotation Tips Make brief notes at the top of the page or on a sticky note to mark important plot events. Circle words that are unfamiliar or unusual. Try to figure out what the words mean throughthe way they are used; supplement your guesses by discussing the words with a teacher orby consulting a dictionary. When new characters are introduced, underline phrases that describe them. Underline words, images, and details that seem to form a pattern throughout the text. Forexample, if a large clock appears in the first chapter, and then you notice the author usingthe words “timely” or “ticking” in the text, and then an incident occurs in which a characterbreaks a watch or is late for an appointment, you may have uncovered a pattern of imagerywhich will lead the close reader to discover a thematic idea. Underline these related strandsand observe the rest of the text closely to see if the author uses other linked words, images,or details.7
A D V A N C E DP L A C E M E N T E N G L I S HL I T E R A T U R E Underline passages you think might be symbolic. Mark key ideas and note briefly your reflections about them. Underline passages in which figurative language appears. When you get an idea while reading the text, note it in a brief form in the margin. Youmay never think of this idea again unless you write it down. If you have a question about something in the book, write it on the page when it firstoccurred to you. While listening to a lecture or participating in a discussion about the book, write downinsights you hear or discover. Writing these notes directly in the text assures you that youwill be able to reference the exact passage that triggered the ideas. Also, it is less likelythat you will lose track of the notes. Use brackets, checks, stars, bullets, or asterisks to mark very important items or things youwant to come back to later.Annotation can be a permanent record of the reader’s intellectual conversation with the text. Itcan help a serious reader to keep track of patterns, contrasts, plot events, and characterdevelopment. It can assist a student in studying for a test or writing a paper that requires the useof quotes to support ideas. Some AP teachers ask students to submit their annotated books asreading checks. Students who learn to annotate become active readers and recursive thinkers whonotice patterns, symbolic elements, and contrasts almost effortlessly as they absorb the text.When students become aware of these patterns, they often express amazement at finding patternsin everything that surrounds them. They will not be able to read any kind of text, literary or not,without noticing parallelism, for instance. They will even become aware of the patterns intelevision shows and films and in their music. Having become aware of these patterns andcontrasts, students cannot help but notice that all forms of communication and entertainmentcontain them.For experienced students, many annotations should reflect analysis. That is, you should identifyelements of literature, but also note their purpose. Why does an author use a metaphor in aparticular place? Why have a character foil? Why use simple syntax versus complex?8
