Breaking News: When I said you should print a copy of your own paper for our conference tomorrow, I meant the one I'm uploading to the Paper 7 "Assignment Return" dropbox. Some of them might not be uploaded until 3 or 4 tonight, so check before you go to sleep tonight, and/or in the morning. I should have said that... hopefully you get this message.
Reminder: Working Draft #7 due to EEE dropbox, Thursday 8pm
Reminder: Post Quotations exercise here.
Random: Kohlhaas vs. Luther (clip from German movie)
Random: satirical video from The Onion about "Kafka International Airport"
Random: More than you ever wanted to know about actual eyeglasses during Kleist's era.
Conference Schedule & Instructions:
The conferences will be tomorrow, April 17. Conferences will take place in HIB 196, but there may be a lot of other classes doing conferences, so also look in the kitchen and the conference room. I'll leave a note on the door of 196 to tell you where I am.
Please submit your working draft to the Paper 7 Assignment Submission dropbox tonight, AND to the Paper 7 Shared Student Files dropbox (or c.c. me on your email to your partners).
Please bring a printed out copy of your own working draft and your two (or three) partners' working drafts. You should have at least one positive comment on each of your partner's papers, and at least one negative comment. Two of each would be even better. Try to focus your comments on the tasks enumerated in the ideas draft, rather than grammar, etc. (Unless it pertains to the grammar of incorporating quotations... that would be helpful.)
Oh, and class will meet as usual in SSL 162 from 1:00 - 1:50. Please email me if there is an error in this schedule.

ReplyDeleteKohlhaas paraphrase: Pgs. 160-161
1. “No sooner had Kohlhaas received from Dr. Luther a copy of this proclamation, which was displayed everywhere in the principality, than notwithstanding the conditional character of its undertakings he disbanded his men, sending them away with gifts, expression of his gratitude and suitable admonitions. He surrendered all the money, arms and equipment he had taken as booty to the courts at Lützen as Electoral property; and when he had sent Waldmann to Kohlhaasenbrück with letters for the magistrate proposing the re-purchase of his farm if that was possible, and Sternbald to Schwerin to fetch his children whom he wanted to have with him again, he left the castle at Lützen and, taking what was left of his small fortune with him in the form of negotiable documents, made his way unrecognized to Dresden.”
2. Right after Kohlhaas saw a copy of the announcement, he dispersed his army, sending them away with gifts and his appreciation. He yielded all his spoils of war to the courts at Lutzen; sent Waldmann to Kohlhaasenbruck with letters for the magistrate asking for a re-purchase of his farm, and Sternbald to Schwerin to get his children. He left the castle with his documents and made his way unidentifiable to Dresden.
3. Kohlhaas dispersed his army, yielded his spoils of war, sent for his children and property, and left for Dresden unrecognized after the release of the proclamation.
4. Kohlhaas “disbanded his men” yielded his spoils of war, sent for his children and property, and “made his way unrecognized to Dresden” after the release of the proclamation.
“All men make mistakes, it is only human. But once the wrong is done, a
ReplyDeleteman can turn his back on folly, misfortune too, if he tries to make
amends, however low he’s fallen, and stops his bullnecked ways.
Stubbornness brands you for stupidity-pride is a crime.” (1132-1137)
All men are human, and therefore, prone to make mistakes. However, they
can turn fix his mistakes, however bad it is, by stop being stubborn. If one is stubborn in his ways, it is quite stupid in the name of pride sake.
Shorter paraphrase
It is quite normal for people to make mistake, however it is stupid for a person to not fix his or her own mistake when pride is holding you back.
Blend Quote
Tiresias is saying that even though people make mistakes, it is more important “…to make amends, however low he’s fallen…”(line 1135), and don’t let “stupidity- pride” get in the way.
Just adding that Christine's group consisted of me, Elim, and Aubrey as well. :)
ReplyDeleteKeep them coming... I think this exercise is going to work well when we finish it tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteA man comes to the law, but before the law stands a doorkeeper, who tells the man that "he cannot at present grant him admittance." The man tries to bribe the doorkeeper with everything he has, but the doorkeeper only threatens him with his power. However, when the men is about to end his life, the doorkeeper tells him that the "entrance was intended for [him] alone" and now it will be closed forever.
ReplyDeleteYou said to start at step 3 soooo...
ReplyDelete3. Christopher Diaz's platform for president of ASUCI consists of activities like implementing pencil sharpeners in every classroom, installing spas at the ARC, and increasing competition between food merchants on campus. Isaac Irushalmi has goals that include making week-end parking at UCI cost-free,a bus that travels from Newport to UCI functioning until 2am, complete the blueprints for contructing a villiage for fraternity houses, change the regulations concerning bikes and skates on Ring Road, providing better and cheaper food with new restaurants, and building school pride using atheletics, parties and more events.
4. While Christopher Diaz's platform seems more specific to individuals who may desire "pencil sharpeners...and dry erase markers in every classroom," or perhaps "jacuzzis at the ARC for both the athelete and the common student," Isaac Irushalmi's goals seem more focused on the group. Irushalmi focuses more on issues more applicable to the average UCI student who may want free weekend parking or "a late-night campus to Newport shuttle which runs until 2 a.m."
GROUP: Steve, Mark, Lorena, Marcee
ReplyDeleteWrite actual quotation
o You’ll never bury that boy in the grave, not even if Zeus’s eagles rip the corpse and wing their rotten picking off to the throne of god! Never, not even in fear of such defilement will I tolerate his burial, that traitor. Well I know, we can’t defile the gods – no mortal has the power. No, reverend old Tiresias, all men fall, it’s only human, but the wisest fall obscenely when they glorify obscene advice with rhetoric – all for their own gain. (112)
Write a full paraphrase
o Polynices’ body will never be buried, not even if the gods find out what I have done . Not even in fear of the gods will I bury that traitor. Even though they are gods and I am only human. We are only human and we all make mistakes - but even the wisest of us make mistakes. The biggest mistake being when one glorifies advice with rhetoric solely for their own gain.
Write a briefer paraphrase (summary)
o Polynices will never be buried, not even in fear of the gods. All humans make mistakes, but the biggest mistake is when one gives advice not for the sake of others but for the sake of oneself.
Incorporate original quote
o Creon adamantly declares that Polynices will never be buried, “not even if Zeus’s eagles rip the corpse and wing their rotten picking off to the throne of god.” The king also argues that the biggest mistake man can commit is giving advice “all for their own gain,” a statement that clearly attacks Tiresias’ credibility.
"For we privilige individual freedom and distrust the state's claim to sumpremacy, and so are hostile to views expressed by Kreon at vv. 175-90, unlike the Athenians, for whom loyalty to the polis was a necessity, and the notion that one's supreme loyalty was to the polis was part of the commonly shared ideology." (Inwood 135)
ReplyDeleteWhile we value individual freedom and are wary of the governtments dominion over us, and thus disagree with Creon's views, the Athenians, who saw adherance to the polis as necessary, shared the belief that fidelity to the state was paramount.
Unlike us who value our individual freedom and negate the governtment's total dominion over us, and as such oppose Creon's stance, the Athenians as a society believed that "supreme loyalty was to the polis."
