Your place in the universe

Source 2 Neil de Grasse Tyson, presenter of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

English for Queensland provides a clear learning pathway for every student, mapped directly to the syllabus to ensure complete coverage.

If you’ve never seen the Cosmic Calendar infographic before, you could be having a range of emotional responses right now, including: • surprise: perhaps at the idea that ‘a human life only lasts for the blink of an eye on the Cosmic Calendar’

At the beginning of Chapter 3 you explored various perspectives on the origin of humanity – values, attitudes and beliefs were presented from an Australian Indigenous world view a religious world view and an evolutionary world view. As you mature into adulthood, it is important to allow yourself time for deep thinking about your own perspective on the origins and future of humankind, and to be open to hearing and learning from the perspectives of others. Deciding what is right or wrong, good or bad, vital for survival, or just generally important to you won’t be done by the adults around you forever. It’s time to consider your own perspective and prepare to share your beliefs respectfully.

Contemporary scientists have worked hard to harness the power of popular media, in particular visual representations including film, to share what they think is relevant knowledge about the history of the universe and the place of humans in that history. Whether you subscribe to their world view or not, it is hard to ignore the growing body of textual work in this field.

The 1980 North American television series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage – presented over 13 episodes

by Carl Sagan – marked a turning point for the use of documentary to bring scientific knowledge into the lounge rooms of ordinary families. In 2014, Neil de Grasse Tyson presented a follow-up documentary series called Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, which includes updated information as well as revisiting existing explanations using new graphics and animation technologies.

• •

awe: perhaps in response to being exposed to new information about the history of the universe confusion: perhaps in response to not understanding the information in the graphic

•

unease: perhaps in response to feeling quite small, in the time scale presented

•

indignation: perhaps in response to the explanation contradicting your established views of human history

•

boredom: perhaps you don’t fi nd this Cosmic Calendar very ‘mind-blowing’ at all!

4.1b Your turn

Communicating meaning and the Cosmic Calendar infographic 1 Did you already have an established belief about the existence of our universe, or the age of it? If so, what is your view, and where did you learn it from?

Using infographics to communicate meaning One visual representation that is offered for the scale of the history of the universe, in both the original and newer versions of the Cosmos series, is the Cosmic Calendar.

2 The Cosmic Calendar infographic contains three horizontal frames with white frame lines

used to separate information showing time on the scale of months in a year, then days in the final month (December), then seconds in the final minute. Make some notes about the written information that you find most pertinent in each of the frames, and identify a visual element that pushed you to think harder about the information presented.

HORIZONTAL FRAME

SIGNIFICANT WRITTEN INFORMATION

SIGNIFICANT VISUAL ELEMENT

Chapter

Close study and critical response In this chapter you will be guided through key elements of a ‘close study’ of a literary text.

The purpose of your study is to explore the emotional and critical reactions that are prompted by the language and composition of your text and to formulate your own critical response.

You will analyse the mechanics of the language in use and go beyond your initial and invited readings to deeply consider different ways of interpreting the text and investigating how the text reflects and challenges the world view of various audiences.

Focus questions: • What are some strategies for reading and interpreting literature?

• How can stories be understood by systematically analysing the narration, storyworld, characters and plot?

This study will culminate in an analytical response written under exam conditions that will demonstrate your ability to interpret a literary text. See Chapter 13 for further support in preparing to write this response in an examination context.

SYLLABUS ALIGNMENTS This chapter aligns with Unit 4, Topic 2 of the QCAA English General Senior Syllabus, ‘Critical responses to literary texts’.

This chapter features: • preparation and support for close, critical reading of literature • guides for close study of all eight literary texts listed for external assessment in the Prescribed Text List for English and EAL • text options drawn from two syllabus categories: play and prose text (novel).

ANALYSING LITERATURE This chapter is all about close study and critical analysis of a single literary text. There are six novels and two Shakespearean plays for you (and your teacher) to choose from, and they are all rich with meaning. In this study, you will draw on everything you know about interpreting a text to get to the bottom of a literary work that has been deemed culturally significant enough to warrant close study in Senior English.

Unit 4, Topic 2 of the QCAA English General Senior Syllabus is described succinctly: Through a close, critical study of a literary text and various interpretations of it, students strengthen their capacity to develop their own analytical response to it.

Students independently develop and compose original, analytical texts.

Source: English 2019 v1.5 General Senior Syllabus © Queensland Curriculum & Assessment Authority

By the end of the study you will have examined language choices and stylistic devices, investigated how a text reflects or challenges various cultural contexts, considered your own personal interpretation and discussed the interpretations of others.

The focus of this topic is to show that you can conduct a skilled analysis of a literary work.

This involves more than just reading a few internet summaries and then playing ‘spot the language device’ or ‘memorise that quote’. Your analysis still needs to culminate in a thoughtful response – one that considers various interpretations of a text and is informed by a critical perspective.

Once you have completed your close study, you will be assessed in an external examination, where you will have two hours to write an 800–1000-word analytical essay about your text. The essay questions will be previously unseen. We have provided guidance in Chapter 13 for you to prepare ideas and notes and improve your writing skills as this critical task approaches.

Why spend time ‘closely reading’ literature?

When you read literary works – literature – you are reading products of human language use that have been artfully made. The range of literature available to us goes beyond famous texts from our history; it also includes poems, prose and plays we encounter in society today. Some people consider literature to only include culturally significant texts, but a more commonly accepted definition is that literature includes any spoken or written texts that use language in creative and expressive ways. An example of creative language use is figurative language, including metaphor; an example of an expressive purpose for language is the creation of storyworlds and narratives. Literature can be produced and distributed in a range of mediums, including print (e.g. books, chapbooks, magazines, zines); live performance (e.g. theatre, speech, radio); and screen technologies (e.g. film, television broadcast, internet webpages, e-readers).

You can revisit Chapter 3 for more support to prepare for close reading of literature.

Here, let’s just talk about a few specific reasons to take an interest in critically responding to literature.

Putting plays and novels into historical context Plays and novels have been around for quite a long time in the history of human literature, but plays have the longer history by far. Ancient Greeks were performing theatre in the sixth century BCE in Athens, and Aristotle was writing about dramatic theory, including a tragedy, and using terms like ‘catharsis’ and ‘hamartia’ around 330 BCE. Currently, understandings of literature in mainstream OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS

tone of voice the way a text would ‘sound’ if spoken aloud (e.g. outraged, sarcastic)

Watching and listening to a live speech, or a video recording of the speech, is a different experience from reading a transcript of the same speech. The transcript offers no indication of how the speaker stood (posture), what gestures they used, what tone of voice they adopted at various stages in the speech or when and why they chose to pause or add emphasis. It also fails to take into account the context of the speech and the mood or atmosphere in which the speech was delivered. All these aspects can impact greatly on the way the speech is received and how persuasive it is. Of course, you are more likely to be asked to analyse a speech transcript than the speech itself, but it is worth considering the difference between print and non-print forms of texts in terms of which aspects of language can be analysed in each mode.

RADIO AND PODCASTS

e Add the soundtrack, and you’re finished!

Play your segment to your class.

Whether listened to ‘live’ over the radio or streamed as a podcast, recorded verbal language can be a powerful tool to persuade audiences to form a certain opinion. Unlike live speeches, recorded audio can be edited to include sound effects and music to help build a particular mood.

Pre-recorded programs such as Triple J’s current affairs show Hack will edit interviews before they are broadcasted. While the editing is mainly done to cut out pauses and irrelevant parts of the conversation, it can also work to skew the interviewee’s responses in a way that partly or totally distorts their intended message. Radio stations such as the ABC, of which Triple J is a part, are bound by the same journalistic standards as print newspapers; however, independent podcasts are not. As a consumer of audial media, whether FM-radio, digital streaming or podcasts, you need to be aware of this and always consider whether the producers of the show have an agenda that they are trying to push.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS

EXAGGERATION AND HYPERBOLE Exaggeration is overstatement – language designed to make something appear bigger or smaller, better or worse than it is. For example, if an author argues that ‘thousands’ of residents are up in arms about a new development project when the real number is in the hundreds, the author is exaggerating, or overstating, the issue. Hyperbole (from the Greek word for ‘excess’) is exaggeration taken to the extreme for dramatic effect; it is not meant to be taken literally. The statement ‘millions of teenagers are brainwashed by the idiot box every day’ is one example.

Hyperbole can sensationalise an issue. It adds drama or excitement, or a shocking or overhyped detail that stirs enthusiasm but can also misrepresent the facts. Sometimes exaggeration is employed in a light-hearted manner; at other times it is used cynically or seriously with the aim of stirring concern or outrage.

SOURCE 10

Donald Trump’s fear-mongering, crusade-laden, sensationalist, and hyperbolic rhetoric was on full display in his first debate yesterday (Sept. 26).

Here are the words he relied on to make the case against Hillary Clinton, his Democratic rival for US president.

questioning Barack Obama’s place of birth (which he has now backtracked on), Trump said: ‘I think I did a great job and a great service, not only for the country but even for the president in getting him to produce his birth certificate.’

Tremendous

Disaster

Trump used this word 13 times throughout the debate; Clinton never uttered it. He used to it to point at his rival’s health: ‘To be president of this country you need tremendous stamina,’ Trump said. He also referred to his own ‘tremendous income’ and the ‘tremendous problems’ America faces. He promised he would ‘be reducing taxes tremendously’ and that his income tax cut would ‘create tremendous numbers of new jobs.’

Trump pointed to several of these:

‘So bad,’ Trump said of the red tape and bureaucracy that he claimed are forcing companies to leave the United States.

‘Our country is suffering because people like Secretary Clinton have made such bad decisions in terms of our jobs and in terms of what is going on,’ he added.

When discussing gun crime and law and order, he said: ‘So there’s some bad things going on, some really bad things.’

Trump’s go-to superlative. ‘I will tell you I’ve been all over, and I’ve met some of the greatest people I’ll ever meet within these communities,’ he said in reference to inner city communities that, he said, are disenfranchised with their politicians. He referred to America’s relations with its allies in the Middle East as ‘the greatest mess anyone has ever seen.’ After years of publicly

Mess ‘We owe twenty trillion dollars [in debt], and we are a mess,’ Trump said of America’s debt. ‘We haven’t even started.’ On cybersecurity: ‘Look at the mess that we’re in.

Look at the mess that we’re in.’

‘ Th at makes me smart.’

ANALYSING AND PRESENTING ARGUMENT

When Trump wants to emphasize the scale of an issue, without getting into the specifics, he talks in terms of thousands. ‘The companies are leaving,’ he said. ‘I could name, I mean there are thousands of them, they’re leaving and they’re leaving in bigger numbers than ever.’ And of violent crime in Chicago, he said: ‘In Chicago, they’ve had thousands of shootings, thousands, since January first. Thousands of shootings.’

OxFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS

> ‘Our energy policies are disaster.’ > ‘Your regulations are disaster, and you’re going to increase regulations all over the place.’ > ‘[Libya] was another one of [Clinton’s] disasters.’ > ‘We invested in a solar company, our country. That was a disaster.’

Terrible A variant of ‘really bad things’: ‘It’s terrible. I have property there [in Chicago]. It’s terrible what’s going on in Chicago.’ Trump also accused his opponent of treating outgoing president Barack Obama with ‘terrible disrespect’ in earlier debates.

Unbelievable Another adjective Trump wheeled out more than once. He spoke of his ‘unbelievable company’ (twice) and the ‘tens of thousands of people that are unbelievably happy and that love me.’

When discussing how to strengthen cybersecurity (or, ‘the cyber’), he marveled at how ‘unbelievable’ his 10-year-old son was with computers.

Winning Trump referred to winning three times during the session; Clinton never mentioned it. He praised his own ‘winning fight’ and ‘winning temperament.’ Implying that the presidency was a zero-sum game of success or loss, he said of his opponent: ‘I know how to win. She does not know how to win.’

‘REALLY BAD THINGS’: Donald Trump’s great, tremendous, unbelievable penchant for hyperbole at the first presidential debate

By Marta Cooper

28

Edit the interview responses into a coherent order. Choose music or sound effects to include at key moments to help communicate the views expressed. Think about any editorial overdubs you will need to record so that the final product makes sense.

d Write an editorial introduction and record it, along with the overdubs identified in the previous step.

ANALYSING AND PRESENTING ARGUMENT

hyperbole deliberate exaggeration employed for effect and not meant to be taken literally

3 listen to Triple J’s Hack over a number of days and take notes on the types of issues covered and the manner in which the stories are presented. Choose one story and present a talk to the class that identifies the ways in which the journalist made language choices to appeal to the show’s target demographic.

a Research the issue carefully and work out exactly what you want to cover.

sound effect artificial sound other than speech or music

2 Using YouTube or another media player, find and listen to Martin luther King Jr’s famous ‘I have a dream’ speech (or choose another speech). Before you listen to it, obtain a transcript of the speech. As you listen, annotate the speech transcript to identify aspects or features of the spoken language that were outlined in the activity above. Then, share your notes with a partner and explain to them your opinion of the three most persuasive moments from the speech.

4 In a small group, plan and produce a Hack-style segment on a local issue of interest to you all. In this piece of journalism strive for objectivity, or balanced reporting, rather than overt bias or persuasion. Follow the steps outlined below.

emphasis special importance given to an idea, or stress laid on a word or words in speech atmosphere pervading tone or mood

Progression for senior students of all abilities

1 Consider the following aspects of spoken language. Define each term to a partner and explain how each aspect works to engage the audience: • pausing • pace and timing • pitch (‘highness’ or ‘lowness’ of tone) and intonation (rise and fall of the voice) • volume • tone • sentence fillers such as ah and um • articulation and diction • stress (emphasis) • rhythm.

The toolkit consolidates learning and provides comprehension practice.

NON-PRINT TExTS Non-print texts contain no printed words or visual images of any kind. Common examples include recorded audio, such as podcasts, and live speeches and radio. Analysing non-print texts involves considering the ways in which spoken language differs from other forms of language, and of how these differences can affect audiences.
