Literature's Three main divisions

When most people speak of literature they may be talking about short stories, novels, poems, verse, odes, plays, tragedies, even limericks. This wide variety of terms describing types of literature, at first, appears overwhelming. However figuring all of this out is simplified when you take into account that the menagerie of types begins with three major paradigms: prose, poetry, and drama.

ProseProse is derived from a Latin root word, prosa, that means "straightforward" (other scholars argue that the root for "prose" is proversa oratio, which means " straightforward discourse." Prose is generally defined as direct, common language presented in a straightforward manner. A victim of identity by negation, prose is frequently defined as "that which is not poetry." Prose demonstrates purposeful grammatic design in that it is constructed strategically by the author to create specific meaning. Prose also contains plot and the attendant narrative structures of plot.

In most cultures, prose narrative tends to appear after a culture has developed verse. Prose genres are many and varied, ranging from science fiction to romance. The major generic divisions of prose are:

  • novel - A lengthy fictional prose narrative.
  • novella - A fictional prose narrative ranging from 50 to 100 pages, most common in science fiction and detective fiction.
  • short story - a brief fictional prose narrative.
  • anecdote - A very brief account of some interesting, usually humorous, event.
PoetryPoetry, from the Greek poetes which means "doer" or "creator," is a catch-all term that is applied to any form of rhythmical or metrical composition. While poetry is considered to be a subset of verse (and also considered to be superior to verse) both are rhythmical/metrical. What distinguishes poetry from verse is its "imaginative quality, intricate structure, serious or lofty subject matter, or noble purpose." Most culture's first serious literary works are poetry (In Western tradition, we need look only as far as Homer and Hesiod). The purposes of poetry are said to include:
  1. A didactic purpose, meaning that it aims to instruct the reader.
  2. Unique insight that is not available in other genres.
  3. To provide pleasure to the reader.
  4. To uplift the reader to some higher insight or meaning.
DramaDrama, is simply a work that is written to be performed on stage by actors. From the Greek dran, meaning "to do," drama is thought to have developed from ancient religious ceremonies. For instance, Greek comedy is traced to ancient fertility rites. Tragedy (which comes from the Greek word for "goat song") can be traced back to sacrificial rituals.

The term play has come to mean drama written exclusively for performance, while the "loftier" term drama, is commonly reserved for works that are considered to be more serious works.

Was Ramses ii in the Rosetta stone?

No, the stone was a decree issued by Ptolemy V in Memphis, an early capital of the lower kingdom of Egypt, around 200 BCE.

Ramses II lived over a thousand years earlier, though the cities he built on the Nile Delta were not far from what later became Memphis.

The Greeks knew Ramses II by the name "Ozymandias," made famous in the poem that contains the line: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Is pimsleur better than Rosetta stone?

Well I have experience using both pimsleur (German) and Rosetta stone. Rosetta it seems, is only truly useful if you are already taking classes in said language with the intention of supplementing the classroom teachings. Rosetta Stone strictly teaches you visually the meaning of the word which can be very confusing. I will give you an example.

Rosetta Stone focuses heavily on visualistic learning stating that this is the natural way we learn to speak when we are infants. This is very true and in this it excells at teaching you with associating the word with what you are looking at. It also has the word written in text as well as a voice to help you with pronouncing it correctly. However, it does not tell you the English translation of said word/ picture. A perfect example for me would be when I saw a picture with a pair of eyes on it. I learned the word to "associate" with it and excelled in the many tests it throws at you by showing you just the picture and making you say the word. The problem was that I associated this picture to mean "Eyes" but when speaking to my friend with this native language it meant "to look".

This happens very very often with this software so unless you are already taking classes I would strongly recommend against using it..waste of your money to give you misconceptions of the language. With pimsleur you WILL learn to speak your language of interest. After about 2 weeks of doing classes (not everyday because of busy schedule) I blew my native German speaking friend away with the amount of progress. The only downside is you do not learn to read and write the language...but you certainly will be able to speak it. I have heard of people devoting alot of time to this program and be speaking decently within 5-10 days.

Sadly, I cant answer that question for you. I can only give you my experiences and thoughts on each program. Pimsleur is far superior when it comes to picking up a new language and running with it. It gives you nothing in the department of writing and reading though. Rosetta Stone is only suited to help you supplement classroom teaching or audio like pimsleur. Although, I would not in any case use Rosetta again unless I had the time to sit myself down in a classroom and learn details proper.

Sorry for the bad grammar

THOMAS YOUNG AND THE ROSETTA STONE

Two hundred years ago, Napoleon Bonaparte sent an army to invade the coastline of Egypt, which they successfully did. But the British fleet attacked their ships at the battle of the Nile, which left the French army stranded. Bonaparte had not only sent soldiers but also archaeologists on this adventure and while they were marooned in Egypt, they discovered a large stone embedded in the fortified walls surrounding a village called Rosetta.

The stone was important because it had been inscribed with a decree written in three languages, Egyptian of the people, Greek and most importantly the secret text of the Pharaohs, hieroglyphics. The French recognised this as the potential clue, that would allow them to read the hieroglyphics.

The British government led by Pitt the younger, decided to send Lord Abercrombie on an expedition to remove the French from Egypt. The chief medical officer was Doctor Thomas Young. The battles that ensued saw the British victorious and one of the spoils of war was the Rosetta stone. This is why it is housed in the British Museum today.

On Dr. Young's retirement from the army he bought himself a plot of land in Peebles known as Acrefield, he built himself a house and named it Rosetta after his adventures in Egypt. He then spent many years studying the stone and finally succeeded in deciphering the hieroglyphics, although a French man, with whom he was corresponding made claim to being the first. From this new found ability to read the language of the Pharaohs, many of the tombs were eventually discovered.
