How do you cite a quotation from the Bible? Please don’t forget that OWL Purdue is the preferred grammar source for KIS. You put the version of the bible in italics, the name of the book in normal way, and the chapter and the verse. When is the word bible capitalized and when is it not? When the bible refers to the holy text used by Christians, it is capitalized. However, if it is used in a casual way to refer to regular books, it shouldn't be capitalized. Write the MLA citation for the Bible. King James Bible. Ed. Brandon Richards. New York: Doubleday, 1987. Print. Copy and paste 5 of the most important lines from Job. Cite the locations correctly. There was a man in the land of Uz, whose namewas Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil (King James Bible, Job. 1:1). Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days, (King James Bible, Job. 10:5). Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived. (King James Bible, Job. 3:3). And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD (King James Bible, Job. 1:21). Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things? (King James Bible, Job. 6:30).

What does iniquity mean? Why is this word important? List one other word that people who read Job should know. Find 2-3 figures of speech. Copy and paste the lines and identify what figure of speech is used. Is the Book of Job a tragedy, romance, history, or comedy?


For now, it is very hard to determine whether this is a tragedy or any sort of things because the ending is not revealed yet. However, based on the definitions, it probably seems like a comedy (it's not funny, but happy ending at least) because Job, even though he suffers, still clings to God, and from this, it can be inferred that Job will be happy in the end.

For poetry feedback, I did Jason's, with Patrick.


Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.



Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening Outline



  1. First, summarize the poem. -> This poem is about a guy riding a wagon, contemplating about the snowy forest and its owner while the horse makes noise, confused about what is going on.

  1. Deceptively simple due to its relatively simple diction, Robert Frost has instead created a rich poetic image, which embraces not only the scene in New England, but also something beyond that troubles the narrator.

  1. Read the poem, with appropriate scenery set for the background. Han River Park/Walker Hill or Amsa-dong. Photos of Mt. Yongma or Acha showing woods in Seoul.

  1. Put the page of the poem on the video, and start going line by line, looking for terminology and helping us to elaborate on the thesis mentioned in #2.

  1. Why do I like this? Not because of the suicidal theme it embeds, but for its simple, yet profound quality.

A. I really put my time into this project, taking footage, etc., and I focused my analysis on syntax and theme alike.
1. I think going line by line was great, and I think explaining about syntax and then, the theme was really good, too.
2. I would recommend a more graphical effect, but considering that I didn't have good knowledge of iMovies or WIndows Movie Maker, I tried my best, and I think the visualization was good enough.
3. I wasn't so amusing while talking, but as I analyzed the poem, I was surprised to find out that this was not the peaceful poem as it appeared because the poem was quite "heavy".
4. I don't think it was confusing at all, but it took me a while to really think about the meaning of the poem.
5. Visually, I went to two locations to take movies. One was at the Children's Grand Park, and the second scene (with a lake) was at the Olympic Park. I think incorporating the real footage, rather than pictures straight off the web, helped to create realistic feelings to the poem.

When I was analyzing, I read the poem once, and then, read it two more times, while taking notes next to each line and try to look for possible connection. In making the video, after getting the footage, I found some photos on the web, and used Windows Movie Maker to make the movie. But, for some reason, the program didn't allow me to go over 2-3 minutes, so I had to make three separate segments and put them together using iMovies.

Research Paper



For past 100 years, human being has gone through much change. There was a great advance in psychology, philosophy, biology, and economic theories. However, such rapid advance only invited anxiety from many people because they could not withstand such claim that undermined the nature of humanity that was held for past thousands of year. If these claims did not undermine past notions of glory and importance in humanity, two World Wars definitely destroyed them. Younger generations blamed the older generations for holding onto past notions while ignoring the present disaster they were bringing to young soldiers on the battlefront. This definitely was the same case for the group of writers who suffered the psychological destruction war brought. They decided to escape from the influence of previous writers who strived to be optimistic and cheerful, focusing on how to talk like a lady or gentleman. And, of such writers who were later called “modernists,” Hemingway was one of them. Ernest Hemingway, who lived through the turmoils of early 20th century, incorporated themes such as isolation and pessimism, and experimented with new style of language because he, as a modernist, wanted to escape from foundations built by past generation of writers.


Before going into Hemingway’s first book, A Farewell to Arms, the impact of World War I on the development of modernism should be summarized. According to the critic James Campbell, World War I was both the end of the past age and the beginning of the new age. It must be noted that World War I is really the product of radical ideas that were proposed during this period. In biology, Charles Darwin proposed that humans were not the product of God, but rather, a simple variation of monkeys. In economics, Karl Marx claimed that humans were controlled not by their own beliefs, but by economic forces. Sigmund Freud, famous Austrian psychologist, went far to claim that humans couldn’t even control themselves since subconscious thoughts were inside human minds. All these claims, clearly, were not things churches or other well-established institutions would advocate because it directly undermined humanity. However, at least, these ideas helped to build weapons. During World War I, many technical weapons, such as machine guns and poison gases, were developed to kill people, which was ironic because according to the government propaganda, they were made to save more people’s lives from being taken away by traditional gunfights. However, after the war was over, young people, disabled and weakened, blamed the older generation (or the world) for causing such havoc, and they adopted new habits that were previously seen as bad: flapping, smoking, or jazz. How does this relate to modernism?


In many ways. Although many critics, including James Campbell, makes mistake of saying that modernism was developed by outsiders of the society, we should not forget that the modernism focused on many themes that were common on the society during this time like isolation, anxiety, and ennui–weariness. Modernism, in reality, was a result of many writers who witnessed the reality of the war. This is reinforced by the fact that the modernism often embraces the discontinuity and anxiety, which suggests writers obviously were impressed with dislocated bodies and anxious soldiers. Furthermore, modernism did not espouse traditional heroism, and it openly discussed homosexuality and prostitution, while experimenting with unusual literary techniques such as stream-of-consciousness, or free verse. This is again reinforced by the fact that the writers did not appreciate the propaganda of established past institutions such as the government, which did not allow any sort of “inappropriate” ideas or actions into its country for the danger of espionage or insurrections. And, all these characteristics of modernism are necessary in understanding Ernest Hemingway’s work. Before going into Hemingway’s work, I will briefly mention the patterns found in his work. First, the protagonist is a male who is “innocent” (here, innocence doesn’t necessarily mean young and good, but someone who doesn’t know what is going to happen to him–just like the soldiers in World War I). Then, this protagonist is involved in a conflict that will change his character, usually towards the negative sides (which means that the character will develop in the direction that might not reflect the interest of the surroundings–related to the modernism’s tendency to rebel against established norm). Finally, the protagonist meets an ending that is neither happy nor tragic (ambiguity is the key to modernism). Let’s see how this is true, and relates to modernism.


In Ernest Hemingway’s famous work A Farewell to Arms, the plot is fairly linear, with the love between Frederick Henry and Catherine Barkley being the central focus. Frederick Henry is an American who volunteered to serve in the Italian army because he sought glory, honor, and fame associated with war (a past notion). The very fact that Henry is not “conscripted” gives us the first pattern found in Hemingway’s work–that there’s an “innocent” character. This is true because Henry does not fully know the brutality of the war, and he could have not gone to a war, which he didn’t do. Also, he has not met Catherine Barkley. As a result, he doesn’t know what is going to happen to him. Then, Henry meets Barkley, which changes his life because as the story progresses, he must choose between the Italian army and her. This is further developed when he gets wounded and thinks about escaping from the army because he doesn’t want to get caught and be killed for desertion, while he wants to escape with Barkley, away from the world. In this case, the second pattern noted above could be found because Frederick Henry has a conflict between himself and the surrounding society that doesn’t approve Henry to make decision. Henry, in the end, chooses Barkley over the war and goes to Switzerland, as he says the famous line “The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially.” This clearly shows that Henry despises the world and strives to find a spot where he and Barkley can feel safe. However, Hemingway doesn’t go with a happy ending. Barkley tries to bring a baby into the world, and she dies, leaving Henry alone, without anybody around him. Technically, it’s not so “tragic” since Henry doesn’t die, but it is not a happy ending either because his lover died. Yet, there’s no sentimental description about Henry’s feeling after Barkley’s death. Instead, Henry just walks in the rain. From this, the third pattern of Hemingway’s works, ambiguous ending, can be noted because Henry is really ambiguous in the end about his feelings. How does modernism play a role in this? We should remember that modernism embraces ambiguity, ennui, and rebellious natures. This is all seen in Henry’s story, when Henry is ambiguous about his feelings towards Barkley’s death, when Henry feels the ennui from stalemate caused by trench, and when Henry wants to go against the army by deserting it.
