The 19th century, apart from its social, economic, and territorial changes, was also a defining moment for the
shaping of American identity. What has the term American Renaissance been used to identify?
In 1619, the first group of African people arrived in the American territory to work as slaves. In 1860, the African
American population of the United States - almost all slaves, responsible for almost all the agriculture of the country
- reached nearly four million people. The transatlantic slave trade was characterized by:
"The Fireside poets were a group of 19th-century American poets, mostly situated in the Northeast United States.
Also referred to as the schoolroom or household poets, they wrote in conventional poetic forms to present domestic
themes and moral issues. The "fireside" moniker arose out of their popularity, as families would read their books by
the fire in their homes. Highly popular among both general readers and critics, the Fireside poets deeply shaped their
era until their decline in popularity in the early 1900s."

Choose the alternative that contains only poets included in this group:
Many stories told by Native Americans involve myths about the creation of the world, especially in relation to the
ways in which mankind became intrinsically linked to nature. These stories, however, were never actually written
down and rather than an emphasis on the violence of the English settlers, they were meant to conceive different
perspectives about the world and the lifeforms (not just animals, though!) in it.

Explicação:
Answer: i. and ii. are correct and ii. correctly justifies i.
Feedback: The "I" and the "you" in Whitman's poems are neither, according to Harold Bloom, separate nor
unified. Therefore, the power imbalances that make relationships eternal conversations between one another
should be considered a major feature of human existence. Whitman invites the readers to inquire about the real
limits of the "self". The expansive "I" in Whitman's verses then are not written egoically, nor is this "I" exerting his
power on everyone else. Rather, it is inviting the reader to embark on a journey of (self-) awareness.

In his youth, Hawthorne followed the transcendentalist tradition, and even had an experience of communal living
that respected transcendentalist principles; he was one of the founding members of that community, the Book Farm.
However, as he matured, he distanced himself further and further from those principles. One of his works,
____________ satirizes that lifestyle.
 
Choose the alternative that best completes the paragraph below
The psychological realism developed by Henry Jamesinfluenced, in a certain way, modernist writers, placing him
beside the precursors of one of the most innovative narrative techniques in literature in the 20th century: the stream
of consciousness. Authors such as Virginia Woolf, William Faulkner and James Joyce were the main writers to explore
this technique.
 
Select the alternative that demonstrates the relationship between psychological realism and the stream of
consciousness technique:
Every journey transforms us. Regardless of the reason for going on a trip, it changes the person who embarks on it,
Allegorical literature refers to a symbolic narrative that conveys a meaning that is not explicit in the text. The
understanding of this meaning depends on a process of interpretation on the reader¿s part. A thorough
description may be allegorical or not, because what characterizes allegory is the meaning that is not explicit but
may be inferred by interpreting the fable or symbol. The narrative that expresses the feelings of a character is
called impressionistic, a type of literature that is clear and explicit is the opposite of an allegorical literature, and
literature that reflects about itself is known as self.

The Blithdale Romance
Fanshave
The Marble Faun 
Data Resp.: 18/09/2022 15:57:26
 
Explicação:
The Blithdale Romance (1852) was a novel that satirizes communal living. Most of its characters join a rural
utopian community called Blithdale because they wanted to escape the corrupting influence of life in America¿s
big cities. Fanshave (1828) was Hawthorne¿s first novel, published anonymously; it was about the author¿s
experiences at Bowdoin College. The Marble Faun (1860), developed his experiences and impressions of an Italian
tour and is an allegory to original sin. The Scarlet Letter (1850) is about a 17th century Puritan settlement in
Boston where a young woman has borne a child out of marriage and is punished. The House of Seven Gables
(1851), a Gothic novel that follows a New England family and their ancestral homes; it explores themes of guilt,
retribution and brings suggestions of supernatural and witchcraft.

Description of psychological characteristics of a character to legitimize a story.
Literary representation of reality through the description of the character's personality.
Data Resp.: 18/09/2022 15:58:02
 
Explicação:
Henry James, influenced by his brother, the psychologist and philosopher William James, in works such as The
Portrait of a Lady and The Turn of the Screw, adopts the literary representation of reality from the way it is
translated by his psychological interiority. Although it occurs in works from the 19th century, the stream of
consciousness develops decisively during modernism, in the 20th century, reflecting, by means of narrative
voices, the complexity of emotions and thought.

sometimes making them better, sometimes deepening wounds. In this sense, the shift between different places and
cultures also transforms our view of reality, as it happened with writers such as Henry James and Edith Wharton,
born in the United States, but profoundly connected to European culture.
 
Regarding the international experience of the two writers, we can say that:
Only Henry James will reflect this in his work, as Wharton was not influenced as much.
The appreciation of their country of origin was reinforced and exalted in their respective works.
They were able to perceive how the North American culture was in no way different from the European one.
It allowed them to critically confront cross-cultural values and customs.
It contributed to rejecting North American society and its institutions.
Data Resp.: 18/09/2022 15:58:55
 
Explicação:
Henry James and Edith Wharton brought the contradictions within the formation of North American society to
fiction, based on their experiences in European countries, such as London, in the case of James, and Italy and
France, in the case of Wharton. While Henry James confronted the different realities more broadly, Edith Wharton
exposed the contrasting values of institutions and individuals.
