REALISM

Realism  Came after all those crazy romantics generally taking place in the years  Why? The romantics were interested in imagination and social change, the realist wanted to KEEP IT REAL!

What is Realism  Not interested in showing or exploring imaginary world- but want to show how the world really was.  The harsh bloody and brutal reality of the Civil War showed the country how rough reality could be!  Slavery was an issue many struggled with in the country and during realism we start to hear from the actual people who experienced it!

Tenets of Realism  People are portrayed as being manipulated by forces of society and nature beyond their understanding or control.  Man is basically an animal and will do anything to survive.  Man is an insignificant speck in the universe.

Tenets of Realism  Nature is an overwhelming force that controls a persons destiny  The prospects of life are determined by the accident of your birth and succeeding coincidences  God, if he exists, is indifferent to human struggle and human worth

Tenets of Realism  The odds of life are stacked against you  Man is ennobled to succeed in the face of such odds

Slave Narratives  The purpose was to pull at American’s heartstrings to further the cause of the Civil War and abolition of slavery.  The audience was for actual slave owners and abolitionist to continue to fight the horrors of slavery.

Slave Narrative Project  In a group to explore the lives of Americans who started their lives in slavery and were able to publish their narratives.  These stories require great respect as a nation and individual sharing them helps combat stereotypes, racism, and sexism that is still prevalent in this country!

Slave narrative Project Expectations  You will read the entire narrative! (yes…..) then you will summarize the major events into a slideshow  You will choose 3 quotes from the narrative that relate to the tenets of realism and explain  As a group you will design a presentation and research further information through the internet to gain insight into your narrator as well as background information on the time frame.  THIS IS A FORMAL GRADE FOR Q2
