English Majors Experience Various Works Of Literature

English majors are subject to take a variety of advanced literature courses. These higher-level courses delve into great detail about how to read various forms of writing, including fiction, poetry, essay, and drama. Writing types are broken down and explored on several different levels, instilling a great appreciation of the world of literature. With drama (also known as a play) students learn about several different components, one of which is the Elements of Drama.

The elements of drama include the plot, character, dialogue, staging, and theme. As students explore each element on an individual level, the analysis helps to see how it fits in conjunction with the other elements. Each analysis is followed by an act of synthesis, in which all of the elements are put into a relationship with one another.

The plot is the structure of a play's action. It encompasses what happens in a play, the order of the incidents, and their arrangement and form. A traditional plot structure consists of an exposition - background information for the plot development, rising action - a set of conflicts and crises, climax - the play's most decisive crisis, and falling action - a follow-up that generates resolution. The ultimate objective of the plot is to control the audience's expectations about what is happening in the drama.

Some consider the plot to be the skeletal framework of a play, and the character is its vital center. Characters are what bring the play to life. They are so important because people respond and relate to them, even though they are fictional human beings. Consequently, the human qualities of characters are arguably their most engaging features. In relation to the framework, it is in conflict that characters reveal themselves and advance the plot.

Dialogue has three major functions: (1) to advance the plot; (2) to establish setting; (3) to reveal character. However, the most important and consistent objective of dialogue is to reveal the character. Dialogue is the catalyst that makes things happen, and as such, it becomes a form of action as well.

By staging, students learn about the visual details, including the actors on the stage, background scenery, props, costumes, etc. and how they increase their understanding of the play. Props like costumes and any physical objects that appear in a play can be an important dramatic symbol. The sounds and sights are also stage elements that increase our aural and visual imagination. Staging enhances the student's appreciation of the literary composition and the dramatist's craftsmanship.

The final Element of Drama is the theme. The theme refers to the play's meaning or central idea. One of the most effective ways to determine the theme(s), of a play is by interpreting dialogue between the characters. Dialogue frequently represents conflicting ideas and varying viewpoints. Because there are different views, there can also be different themes. Reading dialogue can be instrumental in assessing main ideas and purpose to surmise the theme(s) of a play.

Literature courses, among other things, offer instruction that help English students gain a solid understanding the various writing forms and their components, which is crucial to the development of dramatic analytical proficiencies. Discovering and exploring the various elements of writing, like the Elements of Drama, can augment the student's critical skills and enhance his or her appreciation of the craft. Whether a student is taking online classes or not, an English degree program will give him or her a solid foundation in literary analysis.

Should Video Games Be Considered As Works Of Literature?

Video games are generally scorned by older generations as a waste of the player's time, a bad influence on them, damaging to their health both physical and mental, and a host of other allegations. It is true that a person can allow themselves to be swallowed up in the game, never to return. However, it's important to also remember that much the same was said 200 years ago about reading novels.

Duke University offers a class called Video Games as Literature, where games are studied in the same way a book would be in an English class. Students one semester were required to buy the game Lord of the Rings and assignments included having their character be at a certain level by the next class. The instructor taught the point that video games allow a story to take on more in-depth experience than a book can allow, in much the same way as a film, but more so.

Video games can allow the story to be viewed from different characters' perspectives, as the player can choose and switch who they play as. The game offers a much more interactive opportunity, allowing the player to really participate in the plot development of the story. Some games have very linear stories that the player is bound to, where no matter what, they can only go to certain rooms and their actions are limited to whatever will bring out the prescribed ending of the game. Other games, especially the sandbox style of game, allow players to explore the world of the game and while the end result may still be the same they are given much more breadth in the choice of path that takes them there.

Nowadays, games have to be available on a huge array of platforms when they're released. For example: when the latest addition to a racing game franchise comes out on the market, it has be formatted to be played on PS3, Xbox360, Wii, Nintendo DS, and available for PSP download. That's a tall order, and it means a lot of additional work, since each system has its own specifics and controls, etc. However, it can be likened to books being translated into other languages.

Just as genres of books exist video games are cataloged in much the same manner. Games fall into categories such as first person, third person, strategy games, shooters, mysteries/quests, simulations, and are labeled by their content just as much as the way in which players are invited into them.

Viewing video games as a form of literature will assuredly be viewed as blasphemy by some, but will ring true with others. At this time in history, electronic interaction has very much become a way of life: Any fact or bit of knowledge is found on the Internet, work of any kind involves a computer, and communication are all dependent on electronic technology. It stands to reason then, that literature and entertainment take on a digital aspect.

The Chiropractic Marketing System That Works - How to Use Facebook to Get 12 Patients Immediately

The most powerful chiropractic marketing tool for chiropractors is not hard to find nor does it cost thousands of dollars. It's something which you probably already have and which you can do yourself. It's Facebook! Incredulous? My client managed to secure 12 new patients within a week of marketing his practice via Facebook. He did it in three steps, and I will share these methods with you right now.

Why market your practice via Facebook?

Facebook is Massive: It seems the whole world is using Facebook. 200 million people have a Facebook account. This population equals that of the 8th largest country in the world! We are talking about a huge social networking community.

These users love Facebook: In a single day, the total amount of time that users spend using Facebook totals 4 billion minutes. At one point of the day, 100 million users are logged in to their accounts.

These users belong to your ideal market: Two-thirds of Facebook members are finished with college. Among these people, those 35 years old and up are rapidly growing in number.

The Viral Nature of Facebook: The average member on Facebook has been shown to have 120 friends. 

How big is this opportunity?

Let me put it this way. If you have 200 patients using your Facebook page to connect with you, you'll essentially be plugged into 24,000 potential patients!

Get started on this powerful marketing tool in three steps:

1. Get your patients to use Facebook

I knew that my client was losing a terrific marketing opportunity when he told me that he didn't have a Facebook account yet. He already had 500 patients he had seen over the years.

I told him to go create an account on Facebook.com - it's free and takes only minutes. The site then allows its members to import their contacts from their email account. It makes it easier to find their friends already on the site, or invite their contacts to join them.

2. Upload a video about your practice or a symptom you treat

Videos are always fun to watch and online video is exploding with growth. I recently read that the average YouTube user spends 21 minutes a day watching video. We're going to take full advantage of the curiosity factor of video. Facebook makes it very easy to record a short video and then post it to your Facebook page... and then the goal is to drive as much massive traffic to view the video on your Facebook page as we can.

After getting his contacts, my client uploaded a video entitled "The Chiropractic Solution: How to Stop Back Pain Without Surgery." It was only 3 minutes long and was filmed in his clinic while wearing his white lab coat and simply sat on a treatment table and talked into the camera. Then he uploaded the video to YouTube.

YouTube generates something called "embed code" that makes it very easy to paste your YouTube video into Facebook. Also Facebook has many tools for posting your YouTube videos in your Facebook account. In fact 10 million videos are posted to Facebook every month -- so videos are very popular on Facebook. 

3. Spread the news and drive the traffic!

The final step was to drive massive traffic to his Facebook page by generating excitement to view his new video. Patients love watching videos like this. I told my client to send an email invitation to his 500 patients with a link to his Facebook profile to check out the video. He strongly encouraged them to post a comment about the video to get them involved! This whole idea of "involvement" is a core psychological component to making your Facebook marketing gain traction. The more involved we can get patients with your Facebook page, the more business it will generate. 

To summarize, this sent two simple emails:

- An invitation from the doctor to use Facebook;

- An email with a link to view his video on his Facebook page.

Let's talk about the results of this three step system:

This doctor got 12 patients in a week because he drove patients to his Facebook page, got them involved, and teased them with his video.  Since we know statistically that the average Facebook user has 120 friends, this excitement led to patients, referrals, and reactivations.

What can you do to continue getting great results from your Facebook marketing? He ensured the growth of his results by uploading more videos and each time sending an email to his patients inviting them to check it out and comment. Each instance resulted in more clients or reactivations.

There's no denying the potential of Facebook as your chiropractic marketing tool. Today Facebook is the largest social networking site in the world. Creating a single account connects you to 200 million people - all potential clients. By following my three simple steps of getting contacts, creating a video, and getting site traffic, new patients and reactivation will come to you faster than ever. And it's FREE - can any other advertising alternative beat that?
